Domain Expiry Checker
See when a domain was registered and expires, its registrar, status codes and name servers.
About the Domain Expiry Checker
Find out when a domain expires and what happens next. This checker reads the official registration data from the registry’s RDAP service (or WHOIS where RDAP is not offered) and shows the registration date, expiry date, registrar, last update, status codes and name servers.
An expiry date is not the date a name becomes free. After expiry, most registrars keep the domain for a grace period (often 30–45 days) in which the owner can renew it. Many gTLDs then enter a 30-day redemption period and a 5-day pending delete stage before the name is released to everyone. .uk names are suspended at expiry and released about 92 days later. We show an estimated window for each extension and explain every status code.
Frequently asked questions
When will an expired domain become available?
For .com and most generic extensions, typically 65–80 days after the expiry date if the owner does not renew. For .uk and .co.uk, about 90–95 days. The owner can renew at any point before deletion.
What does clientTransferProhibited mean?
It is a transfer lock set by the registrar to stop unauthorised transfers. It is normal and does not mean there is a problem.
Why is the owner’s name hidden?
Since the GDPR, registries and registrars hide personal contact details. You can usually contact the owner through the registrar’s contact form.
