Letting a domain expire is one of the most preventable problems in web management. Utilio tracks domain expiration dates and sends timely alerts so you can renew before the site goes down.
Most domain registrations are set up once and forgotten. The renewal email goes to an old address, gets filtered as spam, or is missed in a busy inbox. When the domain lapses, the website goes down, email stops working, and in some cases the domain gets picked up by squatters — a situation that can take weeks and significant money to resolve.
Utilio uses WHOIS data to check the registration expiry date for every monitored domain. The expiry date is recorded during each monitoring run and displayed alongside your SSL status and uptime. If the domain is expiring within 30 days, Utilio raises a warning and sends you an alert.
You'll receive a warning notification when a domain is within 30 days of expiring — enough time to log in to your registrar and process the renewal. If the domain is expiring imminently, the alert escalates so it doesn't go unnoticed in a busy inbox.
Adding a domain takes less than five minutes. Enter the domain name, add a verification DNS TXT record, and Utilio begins monitoring automatically. No additional configuration needed — the first check runs within minutes.
