Automated Domain Expiration Monitoring & Whois Renewal Alerts

Never Lose a Mission-Critical Domain to Forgotten Renewals

Every year, multi-million dollar corporations and high-growth startups accidentally let critical domain names expire. Credit cards expire, billing notifications get sent to the inbox of an employee who left the company three years ago, or registrar renewal auto-charge attempts fail silently.

When a domain expires:

1. Nameservers are instantly suspended by the registry, knocking your website, APIs, and employee emails offline worldwide.
2. The domain enters a redemption grace period where restoring it costs hundreds of dollars in registrar penalties.
3. If not redeemed, the domain is released to automated auction bots and domain squatters who will hold your brand ransom or weaponize it for phishing attacks.

Pingzo Domain Expiration Monitoring eliminates this existential risk completely: automated RDAP and Whois inspection, proactive multi-channel warnings at critical expiration milestones, and escalation alerts delivered straight to your phone.

1. Automated Milestones & Multi-Stage Alert Schedule

Rather than relying on a single automated email from your registrar that easily gets lost in spam filters, Pingzo enforces a multi-tier alert schedule across your entire team:

[ Domain Registration Timeline ]
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  60 Days Out: Early Notice (Monthly Team Digest)
       │
       ▼
  30 Days Out: Action Required (WhatsApp & Slack Alert to Lead Admin)
       │
       ▼
  14 Days Out: Priority Urgent (Multi-Channel Escalation to SRE Group)
       │
       ▼
   7 Days Out: CRITICAL EMERGENCY (WhatsApp + Phone Call Escalation Ladder)

What Pingzo Inspects Across Global Registries:

• Domain Expiration Date: Queries authoritative RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) and Whois endpoints across all generic (gTLD) and country-code (ccTLD) extensions.
• Domain Registry Status: Detects dangerous status flags such as clientHold, serverHold, pendingDelete, or clientTransferProhibited.
• Nameserver Delegation Changes: Alerts you if registrar nameservers are modified without your consent.
• Associated SSL Certificate Expiration: Automatically cross-references domain expiration with SSL/TLS certificate validity to prevent unexpected outages.

2. Built for Agencies, Portfolios, and Engineering Teams

• Unlimited Monitored Domains: Track all production, staging, redirect, and defensive brand domains in a single centralized dashboard.
• Multi-Tenant Team Notifications: Route alerts for specific domains to designated account owners or client Slack channels.
• India-Friendly & Global Billing: Avoid foreign transaction fee overhead with flat-rate transparent billing in INR (₹) or USD ($) with GST-compliant invoicing.
• Zero Additional Software Needed: Domain expiration checks run alongside your HTTP, API, Port, and Email Health monitors in one unified platform.

3. Activate Domain Protection in 60 Seconds

1. Add Your Root Domain: Enter any top-level domain (e.g., acme.io or platform.in).
2. Auto-Discovery: Pingzo queries the authoritative registrar and extracts the current expiration timestamp, registrar identity, and active nameservers.
3. Select Alert Thresholds: Choose when your team should be notified (default: 60, 30, 14, and 7 days).
4. Done: Sleep peacefully knowing your domain portfolio is continuously monitored against accidental expiration.
