What it checks
Domains are registered for a fixed term. The tool reads the expiry date over RDAP (the modern, standard successor to WHOIS), straight from the registry's own record, and reports the days left.
Why it matters
When a domain expires, the site, the email and everything else on the domain stops with it. Renewal is often tied to an expired card or the inbox of someone who has left, so the reminder emails reach nobody.
How to fix it
- Turn on auto-renew in your registrar's panel.
- Check that the payment method and the contact email on file are current.
- Consider renewing critical domains for several years at once.
