When a website certificate expires, visitors see a security warning instead of your site. When a domain registration expires, the site can go offline altogether.
The certificate secures the connection to your website and has its own end date. The domain registration is your right to use the name, with a separate end date. They are managed in different places, so they are easy to mix up.
Neither date is part of your daily routine. Renewal emails can land in spam or go to an old address. With several domains, it gets harder still.
Put every certificate and every domain registration into one list, sorted by how soon they run out. Colours help: red for soon, green for fine.
SSL Domain Detective gives you that list, with certificate and domain expiry colour-coded.
Add your domains to SSL Domain Detective and see what runs out first. Open SSL Domain Detective
SSL Domain Detective is now available on the App Store.
