WatchEarly renewal warnings
Choose how many days ahead to be warned (e.g. 30) and get an alert while there is still plenty of time to renew.
Domain checks
Domain expiry monitoring, so a missed renewal never takes you offline
Add a domain to WatchControl and we'll watch its registration expiry date — warning you weeks before it lapses, so a forgotten renewal can't quietly kill your website and email.
RDAP & WHOIS
We read the authoritative expiry date via RDAP, with WHOIS for the TLDs that still rely on it.
.dk supported
Danish .dk domains have no public RDAP — we use Punktum dk (formerly DK Hostmaster), so your .dk names are covered too.
Alerts where you work
Email and webhook on every plan, plus SMS, routed to the tools your team already uses.
Why it matters
A domain is the one outage you can't fix in minutes
When a certificate lapses you can reissue it in minutes. When a domain registration lapses, it can be parked, auctioned or sniped — taking your website, email and logins with it, sometimes for good. Renewal reminders from registrars land in the wrong inbox or get filtered, and the person who registered it may have left.
WatchControl gives you an independent, early warning across every domain you own, in the same place you already watch uptime. Pair it with SSL expiry and DNS checks so the domain, its certificate and its records are all watched together.
Beyond expiry alerts
Managing a portfolio of domains?
WatchControl warns you before each domain expires. If you need to inventory and govern many domains — together with their DNS, certificates and external attack surface, with compliance reporting — that is CertControl, our security-posture platform from the same team at Certiva.
Many teams run both: WatchControl gives you the timely heads-up; CertControl keeps the whole estate mapped and audit-ready.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you support .dk domains?
Yes. Domain-expiry monitoring works for .dk alongside common TLDs, using RDAP/WHOIS to read the registry expiry date.
How early am I warned before a domain expires?
You set the warning window, and WatchControl reminds you weeks ahead by email, webhook or SMS — well before the renewal deadline.
What is the difference between domain expiry and SSL expiry?
Domain expiry is about the registration of the domain name itself; SSL expiry is about the certificate. WatchControl monitors both, separately.
Is it on the free plan?
Yes — domain expiry is one of the nine monitor types available on every plan.
