The checker queries RDAP and WHOIS databases to retrieve your domain's registration record. You'll see the exact expiry date with a countdown in days, the registrar that manages the domain, authoritative nameservers, and the original creation date. This tells you how much time you have before renewal is required.

Registry status codes like clientTransferProhibited or serverDeleteProhibited indicate protections applied to the domain. If a domain shows pendingDelete or redemptionPeriod, it may be expiring or already dropped. Monitoring your domain's expiration prevents accidental lapses that could take your website offline or let someone else register it.

Frequently Asked Questions

This tool queries RDAP and WHOIS databases to retrieve your domain's registration details. It shows you the expiry date, days until expiry, registrar, nameservers, creation date, and registry status codes — all in real time.

Yes, completely free with no signup required. Just enter a domain and check instantly. There are no daily limits.

When a domain expires, it typically goes through several stages: a grace period (usually 30-45 days) where the owner can still renew at regular price, a redemption period (30 days) where renewal is possible but at a premium, and finally deletion where the domain becomes available for anyone to register. During expiry, your website and email will stop working.

You should check at least monthly, especially if auto-renewal isn't enabled. For critical business domains, continuous monitoring is recommended. exit1.dev offers automated domain expiration monitoring that alerts you 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before expiry.

RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) is the modern replacement for WHOIS. It returns structured JSON data, supports HTTPS, and has better internationalization. This tool uses RDAP as the primary lookup method and falls back to WHOIS for registries that don't yet support RDAP.

EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) status codes indicate the current state of a domain. Common codes include 'clientTransferProhibited' (transfer locked), 'clientDeleteProhibited' (deletion locked), and 'ok' (no restrictions). These codes help you understand what actions are currently allowed on the domain.

Some registries have rate limits or don't expose all data publicly. Country-code TLDs (like .de, .fr) may have stricter privacy policies. If a lookup fails, try again after a minute. For some TLDs, only basic information like expiry date and nameservers may be available.

Yes! exit1.dev includes automatic domain expiration monitoring. You'll receive alerts at configurable thresholds before your domains expire — so you never miss a renewal. It's available on all paid plans.
