In short

How do I get warned before one of my domains expires?

WebRun signs in to Name.com every morning and reads each domain's expiry date, auto renew setting, transfer lock and nameservers. It files a dated register in Google Drive and sends a WhatsApp warning about anything expiring soon or running with auto renew off, so a live domain never lapses unnoticed.

  • A live domain never lapses because auto renew was quietly off
  • Every warning names the expiry date and days remaining
  • A setting that changed overnight is traceable to a dated file

Questions, answered

Will it renew a domain or spend money?

No. WebRun reads the portfolio and warns you. Renewing a domain, buying a year or turning auto renew back on stays a manual step, and payment details are never entered.

Does it change nameservers or transfer lock?

No. Those settings are read and reported so you can see what is off. Every change stays with you inside Name.com, so nothing about a live site moves on its own.

How far ahead does it warn me?

As far ahead as the warning window you set, counted in days before expiry. A live domain with auto renew switched off is flagged regardless of how far away its date is.
