Renewatch

Domains don’t fail loudly.
They just stop.

Renewatch watches the renewal date, transfer lock and email authentication behind every domain you’re responsible for — and tells you when a renewal hasn’t gone through, while it still costs twelve dollars to fix.

No account. No card. Answer in about two seconds.

Your registrar does send a reminder

It sends it to the registrant contact. That’s a client’s info@ inbox, or a founder who left in 2019, or a list that forwards nowhere.

And it arrives after the thing that actually goes wrong. Almost nobody forgets to renew a domain. What happens is auto-renew fails on a card that expired, quietly, and the first anyone hears about it is a customer asking why the site shows a parking page. Restoring a domain after that runs roughly $80–$200 — if a squatter hasn’t taken it first.

Renewatch reads the renewal date straight from the registry, every day. If a domain is twelve days out and the registry still shows the old date, the renewal has not happened — whatever the registrar dashboard claims. That’s the alert nobody else sends.

What it watches

Renewals that didn’t happen
Inside 14 days with an unmoved expiry date means a dead card on file. You get told at 14, 7, 3 and 1 day.
Expiry and registrar
Read live from the registry over RDAP. A registrar you didn’t authorise is a hijack in progress.
Transfer lock
If a domain’s registrar lock comes off and it wasn’t you, that’s your only warning.
SPF and DMARC
Broken records are why a client’s invoices quietly start landing in spam.
And whether we can still see it
If a check hasn’t succeeded in 48 hours you hear about that too. A monitor that goes quiet when it breaks is worse than no monitor.
