How to Monitor Your Domain Portfolio for Expiration and Breaches (Without Spending a Fortune)

Most developers and indie hackers register domains and forget them. That's fine until it is not.

A domain that expires silently can cost you days of recovery time, lost SEO, and in extreme cases, someone else grabbing it. If your registration email showed up in a breach, an attacker can potentially take over your domain through your registrar.

This guide covers:

  1. Domain expiration monitoring via WHOIS
  2. Breach checking for your registration email
  3. A simple combined monitoring script you can run on a schedule

Tools: domain-expiry from EdgeIQ Labs, leak-scan, Have I Been Pwned, whoIS CLI. Free tier available for all EdgeIQ tools mentioned.
