What this checks
A domain has to be renewed, and if the registration lapses the site and its email go dark, sometimes within hours. This tool looks up the public WHOIS registration record for the domain.
It shows when the domain was registered, when it expires, how many days are left and which registrar it is with.
Why it matters
A lapsed domain is one of the worst ways to lose a client: the site disappears, email stops and someone else can grab the name. It is entirely avoidable.
Renewal reminders go to an inbox that may not be watched, so an independent check matters.
How to fix it
Enable auto-renew at the registrar and keep a valid card on file.
Make sure renewal notices go somewhere a human actually reads.
Watch the expiry date separately from the registrar so a missed email does not mean a lost domain.
Janitor watches domain registration expiry automatically across every client site and puts it in a branded report you can send.
