Common questions

What does Renewal watch do?

Paste the domains you own. TLDMath reads each one’s registrar and expiry date from its registry, show what renewing costs at that registrar’s standard price, and the cheapest place to move it over two years. With a free account (an email link, no password) we email you 30 and 7 days before each renewal.

How do I find out when a domain expires?

Paste it into Renewal watch: TLDMath reads the expiry (renewal) date straight from the domain’s registry, with the registrar it’s at and what renewing costs there. ICANN’s own lookup at lookup.icann.org shows it too, and so does your registrar account.

How many years can you register a domain for?

Up to 10. For .com, .net, .org and other generic extensions, ICANN’s registry agreements cap a registration and its renewals at 10 years in total, and a transfer can’t take it past 10 either. Some country codes set their own terms: .ai is sold in 2-year steps. Renewing several years ahead pays today’s price for all of them.

How do I renew a domain?

At the registrar where it’s registered: sign in, find the domain, and renew it or turn on auto-renew. You can usually renew for several years at once. If that registrar’s renewal price is high, moving to a cheaper one renews it as well, because a transfer adds a year.

Can I watch a domain I want to buy?

Yes. Switch the list to “domains I want”: we check each one’s registry status and email you when it changes stage, from expiring to lapsed, redemption and free to register.

What do you keep?

Only what you save: your email address and your watchlist. Domains you check without an account aren’t stored. Every list exports to CSV and to a calendar file, and signed-in lists also get a private live calendar feed.

Why is the expiry date missing for some domains?

A few registries, including .io, .co and .me, have no public lookup. Add the expiry date yourself and the reminders work the same way.
