BARKME

Domain expiry checker

Look up when a domain's registration expires, read from the registry over RDAP with WHOIS as a fallback. Free, no sign-up.

Free, no sign-up. One check per minute - results in a few seconds.

Renewal emails land in spam. Barkme does not.

Barkme checks the registration of every verified domain daily and warns you 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before it lapses, alongside the SSL certificate. Free plan included.

What we check

Every check, and why it matters.

01

Domain registration

The expiry date your domain registry publishes, read over RDAP with WHOIS as a fallback.

Why it matters. When a registration lapses, the website and email stop at the same moment - and once the grace period ends, anyone can register the name.

Reading the results

Five verdicts.

Pass
Healthy. Nothing to do.
Warning
Works today, but worth fixing before it causes trouble.
Fail
Broken, or about to break. Fix these first.
Info
Optional or informational. Not a problem.
Not checked
We did not get a clear answer. It says nothing bad about your domain - try again later.

What we do - and don't

A light touch.

  • Registration data comes from the public registry, not from your server.
  • Results are kept for 24 hours so you can share the link. We do not record who ran the check.
