How to Check Domain Expiry Date by Registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare & More)
Step-by-step instructions to find your domain's expiration date in GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Porkbun, Google Domains, and other popular registrars.
How to Check Domain Expiry Date in Your Registrar
You need to find when your domain expires. The steps depend on which registrar you use.
Here's exactly where to look in each of the major registrars, with screenshots-worth-of-detail so you can find it without clicking around aimlessly.
GoDaddy
GoDaddy is the world's largest registrar. Here's how to find your expiry date:
Log in to your GoDaddy account
Go to godaddy.com and sign in. You'll land on your account dashboard.
Navigate to My Products
Click "My Products" in the top navigation, or find it in the menu.
Find the Domains section
Scroll to "Domains" or click "Manage All" next to your domains.
View the expiry date
Each domain shows its expiration date in the list view. Click on a domain for more details.
Where to find it: My Products → Domains → Look for "Expires" column
GoDaddy's grace period is shorter
GoDaddy only gives you 18 days after expiration to renew at standard rates—shorter than most registrars. Don't cut it close.
Namecheap
Namecheap shows expiry dates prominently in your domain list.
Log in to Namecheap
Go to namecheap.com and sign into your account.
Go to Domain List
From the dashboard, click "Domain List" in the left sidebar.

Namecheap also color-codes domains approaching expiry—yellow for soon, red for very soon.
Cloudflare Registrar
Cloudflare's registrar interface is minimal but clear.
Log in to Cloudflare
Go to dash.cloudflare.com and sign in.
Select your domain
Click on the domain you want to check from your account home.
Go to Domain Registration
In the left sidebar, scroll down and click "Domain Registration."
View Registration details
Click "Manage Domain" to see your expiration date and auto-renew status.

Google Domains (Now Squarespace)
Google Domains was acquired by Squarespace in 2023. If your domain is still there:

Checking Expiry Without Registrar Access
Don't have access to the registrar account? You can still check any domain's expiry via WHOIS:
Go to a WHOIS lookup site
Try lookup.icann.org, whois.domaintools.com, or who.is
Enter the domain name
Type the domain (e.g., example.com) and search
Find Registry Expiry Date
Look for "Registry Expiry Date" or "Expiration Date" in the results
This works for any domain, whether you own it or not.
Why Checking Isn't Enough
Knowing your expiry date is step one. But manually checking across multiple registrars doesn't scale—and it relies on you remembering to check.
Better approach:
Enable auto-renew
First line of defense. But it can fail if payment methods expire.
Set calendar reminders
Manual but effective for a few critical domains.
Use a monitoring tool
Automatic alerts across all registrars. No manual checking required.
