Losing your domain isn’t just embarrassing — it’s dangerous. These four simple checks can save your business from SEO disaster, broken emails, or brand theft.

Accidentally losing a domain name isn’t just inconvenient — it can be catastrophic. We're talking SEO crashes, user trust breakdown, and worst of all, someone else snatching up your domain.

This guide walks you through the most critical things to check before it’s too late. The good news? Watchman Tower already takes care of most of it for you.

1. Know When Your Domain Expires (For Real)

Yes, most registrars send emails — but what if it lands in spam or your billing contact has changed? Don’t rely on that alone.

✅ Watchman Tower automatically detects your domain’s expiration date and tracks it in the background.

2. Track Every Domain You Own

It's easy to forget about staging, test environments, or old product domains. But forgotten domains expire just the same.

✅ When you add a site to Watchman Tower, domain monitoring is automatically activated.

3. Alerts Save You — If You Actually Get Them

What good is monitoring if you never see the alert? Many teams assume someone else is watching.

✅ Watchman Tower sends proactive alerts via email or mobile push when your domain is close to expiring — no setup required.

4. Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute to Renew

Last-minute renewals fail all the time: expired cards, account issues, login problems. Don’t take the risk.

✅ Watchman Tower alerts you well in advance, so you can act early and avoid the panic.

Conclusion: Domain Monitoring Shouldn’t Be Manual

Relying on inbox searches, calendar reminders, or memory just isn’t enough in 2025.

Let Watchman Tower track it for you — so you never lose a domain again.
