What Is A Domain Name?
A domain name is an easy-to-remember address for a website, and it is the first impression that visitors see. A good domain name will leave you with a lasting and positive impression. It also affects the SEO of your website and defines your brand. You can remember it without entering a series of numbers which is the IP address, which makes it very useful. For example, typing WebsitePlanet.com in the address bar is much easier than a number like 191.242.116.186.
Why do you need to know Domain Name Expiration?
Consider all the hard work you do on the website. If you do not know the expiration date of the domain name, then if you let the domain name expire, all your time and energy invested in developing the brand will be threatened. Although your domain belongs to you now, if you are not careful and do not track the expiration date, ownership may slip from your fingers. (Here is a tip to avoid this situation-make sure the automatic update feature is enabled!)
On the other hand, if you know a “dead site” with a good domain name, or just want to track certain domains, you want to know it when the expiration date arrives, so you can auction it first.
What Happens When a Domain Name Expires?
When the expiration date of the domain passes, it will go through different stages. Usually, the hosting company will first contact the owner and try various billing to renew the domain. After that, there is a grace period during which the owner can repurchase the domain name, plus an additional “redemption fee.” If the owner is not contacted and the fee is not paid, the domain will be set to auction. If there is no buyer at the end of the auction period, it will be re-added to the registration form and can be purchased on the open market.
How Does this Tool Work?
The tool is very simple copy or paste the domain name into the text box and click “check”. Our domain name expiration checker will tell you whether the domain name is available (and provide a purchase link), or whether the domain name is registered and has an expiration date. You can add a reminder about the due date via the “Add to Google Calendar” button.
How to Determine When a Domain Name Will Expire?
1. Start a WHOIS Lookup
You can perform a WHOIS Lookup on many different websites. The easiest place to do a lookup of a domain name is at DomainTools.com.
You may visit http://whois.sc to begin the process.
2. Type In The Domain Name of Interest
In the “Enter a Domain or IP Address” in the input box, type in the domain name of interest, such as DomainSherpa.com, and press the “lookup” button.
3. Scroll Down to the Bottom of the Record
At the very bottom of the record, you will see some timeline information about the domain name, such as the creation date of the domain name (“record was created on”) and the time when the domain name expired (“domain expires on…”). ) Whether the visa should not be renewed.
As shown above, the DomainSherpa.com domain name will expire on March 14, 2020, if it is not updated before that date.
If the domain name is updated within 30 days before or after the expiration date (many registrars allow a grace period), the domain name registration will add an additional year. In this case, please continue to use the free DomainTools.com account or DomainHole.com account to monitor the domain name.
