Domain expiry checker
Enter a domain and see when it expires, where it is registered and whether it is locked. From the registry's RDAP or WHOIS records, nothing sent to the site.
What the result shows
- The expiry date and the days left
- The registrar, and whether the domain is locked against transfer
- Whether the domain is on hold or being deleted
Read-only: the same lookups a browser or a mail server makes, nothing changed, nothing stored beyond ten minutes. What Stackbrace asks for.
What happens when a domain expires?
The website and every email address on the domain stop working, usually within days. After a grace period the name is deleted and anyone can register it. Most outages of this kind come from a renewal charged to a card that has expired, on an account nobody checks.
What is a transfer lock?
A setting at the registrar that stops the domain being moved to another registrar until it is turned off. Without it, anyone with the authorisation code can take the domain. Most generic domains show it as clientTransferProhibited; many country domains have no such setting.
Why does the date not show for some domains?
Some country registries do not publish it, and some limit how often it can be asked. The registrar account always shows it.
Every day, not just today
Stackbrace watches every site's domain and tells you 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before it runs out, and the moment it is put on hold. Start free with one site.
