What it does
When you look after many WordPress sites, domain renewal dates are easy to lose track of. Each domain sits with its own registrar on its own schedule, and one missed renewal can take a client's site offline. This extension works inside the MainWP Dashboard, so it needs MainWP to run. It pulls domain information for all your connected sites into a single view, which means you no longer have to check each domain by hand or keep a separate spreadsheet of expiry dates.
Once it is set up, the extension runs domain checks on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule and keeps the stored details current. You can see the registrar, WHOIS server, contact info, name servers and domain status for each site. Customizable email notifications arrive ahead of expiry so there is time to renew. For teams with scripted workflows, checks can also be run through WP-CLI and the MainWP REST API, and reports let you share domain status with clients.
Best for
- Agencies managing many client WordPress sites through MainWP
- Freelancers responsible for client domain renewals
- Developers who automate site maintenance with WP-CLI
