Namecheap Automated Overdue Domain Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Namecheap, checks for any domain that's expired and sitting in the grace or redemption period, logs each one to Airtable with the date it gets released if not renewed, and emails you a chase reminder ranked by urgency.
How do I catch Namecheap domains that expired and are stuck in the grace period?
WebRun checks your Namecheap account every morning for any domain that's expired and sitting in the grace or redemption period. It logs each one to Airtable with the exact date it gets released if not renewed, and emails you a chase reminder, so an overdue domain never quietly slips past the point where you can still get it back cheaply.
- Overdue domains get caught before they're released to the public
- Every overdue domain is logged with its exact release deadline
- Your inbox stays quiet on days nothing is overdue

Questions, answered
Will it renew an overdue domain automatically?
No. WebRun only tracks status and reminds you. Renewing a domain, including paying any redemption fee, always stays a manual step you take in Namecheap.
What's the difference between the grace and redemption period?
The grace period is a short window right after expiry where renewal costs the normal price. Redemption comes after that and usually costs more. WebRun tracks whichever period a domain is in and flags the deadline for both.
Does it check every domain on my account?
Yes. It reviews every domain on the Namecheap account each morning, so an overdue domain never gets missed just because it isn't your main site.
