FALKEN'S MAZE / CHECKS / DOMAIN REGISTRATION EXPIRY
Domain registration expiry
What Joshua checks
Looks up when the domain's registration expires, from the registry's RDAP service.
Why it matters
An expired domain takes your website and email down at once, and a lapsed one can be registered by anyone.
How to fix it
Renew the domain at your registrar and turn on automatic renewal with a card that won't expire first.
