Domain Watch tracks expiration dates, checks WHOIS status, and sends timely alerts so your domains stay active.
Domain Watch is a self-hosted domain expiration monitoring app for founders, indie hackers, agencies, and small teams. It checks WHOIS and DNS data, records renewal deadlines in one dashboard, and sends email alerts before a domain expires so a missed renewal does not turn into downtime, lost email, or brand risk.
Scheduled checks gather expiration dates and status updates from WHOIS and DNS sources. The dashboard keeps each domain's expiry date, current status, and last checked time together, which makes stale records and urgent renewals easier to spot.
Domain Watch sends configurable email notifications at 60, 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before expiration. Those reminders give teams multiple chances to renew a domain before the registrar deadline becomes an outage.
Teams can organize tracked domains, review upcoming renewals, and monitor health from a simple web interface. Admin controls support multi-user access, per-user limits, and audit logging without requiring an external database service.
Keep renewal risk visible without adding another hosted SaaS account.
A domain can expire because the owner changed roles, the registrar email goes unread, a card fails, or the domain lives outside the team's normal infrastructure tools. Domain Watch gives those renewal deadlines a visible owner and a recurring check cycle.
Domain Watch is built for small teams that manage more domains than they can comfortably track by memory. It fits indie products, client portfolios, side projects, landing pages, and brand-protection domains that still need reliable renewal oversight.
Details for teams deciding whether to self-host domain renewal monitoring.
Domain Watch is a self-hosted web application that monitors domain expiration dates, performs WHOIS lookups, and sends email alerts before renewal deadlines. It helps teams keep renewal risk visible without relying only on registrar emails, spreadsheets, or personal calendars.
Domain Watch runs scheduled WHOIS and DNS checks, stores the latest expiration date for each tracked domain, and records when a domain was last checked. The dashboard then highlights upcoming deadlines so a team can renew domains before they lapse.
Domain Watch should complement registrar renewal notices, not replace ownership at the registrar. It gives teams an independent reminder layer, especially useful when registrar emails go to an old address, a shared inbox, or a single person who may be unavailable.
