Whois & domain expiry check

Uses RDAP to track domain expiry, auto-renew status, and registrar lock — alerts you 90, 30, 14, and 3 days before expiry.

Quick answer

Daily RDAP lookups fetch the expiry date, registrar, and status flags. Lemwatch fires reminders at 90, 30, 14, and 3 days out.

What it checks

Where to find it in Lemwatch

Renewals hub shows every monitored domain with an expiry countdown.

How to respond

  1. Confirm auto-renew is enabled at your registrar.
  2. If expiry is <14 days and status is unknown, renew manually.
  3. Enable registrar lock to block unauthorised transfers.
  4. Acknowledge to silence the 90/30/14/3 reminders.

FAQ

Why RDAP instead of Whois?

RDAP is structured JSON, rate-limit-friendly, and returns consistent timestamps.

What if my TLD doesn't publish expiry?

Country-code TLDs sometimes hide expiry — Lemwatch marks these "unknown" and skips the countdown.
