Now you know the way to check your domain expiration date. Here are some Frequently Asked Question that might clear your doubts regarding the domain expiration date:
1) What is a Domain Name?
A Domain name is an identifier string that identifiers within the internet a domain of administrative autonomy, authority, or power. We use the Domain name in different networking contexts and for application-specific naming and addressing purposes. Generally, a Domain name defines a network domain or describes an Internet Protocol (IP) resource, such as a personal computer that we use to access the Internet, a website hosting server or a website itself or some other internet-based service. The examples are .com , .net , .edu , .org etc.
2) Why do I Need to Know the Domain Expiration Date?
Think about it, if you do not know the expiration date of your domain name, all the time and effort you’ve put into developing your brand is now in jeopardy if you let the expiration lapse. While you are holding your domain right now, the ownership can just slip away easily if you do not take precautions. To avoid this issue happens, you need to constantly keep track of the expiration date.
On the other hand, if you know of a “dead site” with a good domain name or if you just want to keep track of certain domains, you will want to know as soon as the expiration date comes up. This helps you to be the first to bid on it when it goes to auction.
