Website safety guide

Domain expired? What to do next

A domain expiry can make a working website look gone overnight. It can also affect email, DNS records, redirects, and customer trust.

Checklist

What to check first.

  • Find the registrar account and renewal status
  • Renew immediately if still inside the grace period
  • Do not move nameservers blindly while diagnosing
  • Capture current DNS records before changing anything
  • Check whether email records are tied to the same domain
  • Watch for scam renewal notices from fake registrars
  • Set calendar reminders and keep ownership records current
