Overview
Anyone who manages many WordPress sites knows how easy it is to lose track of domain expiration dates. A missed renewal can take a client site offline and damage trust. MainWP Domain Monitor Extension collects domain data for every connected site and shows it in one place, so you no longer check each site one by one.
The extension works inside the MainWP Dashboard. You can view registrar data, WHOIS information, name servers and domain status, and set checks to run daily, weekly or monthly. Email alerts go out ahead of expiry, and reports let you share domain status with clients. It fits agencies and developers who handle anywhere from a handful to hundreds of sites.
Features
- Centralized domain monitoring: See expiration dates for all connected WordPress sites in a single dashboard view, without opening each site separately to check its domain.
- Automated expiration alerts: Customizable email notifications arrive before a domain expires, giving you time to renew and keep the website online.
- Detailed domain information: View the registrar, WHOIS server, contact info, name servers and domain status for each monitored domain at a glance.
- Scheduled domain checks: Set status checks to run daily, weekly or monthly so the domain information stays current without manual work.
- WP CLI and REST API support: Run domain checks programmatically through WP CLI and the MainWP REST API, which lets you fit monitoring into existing workflows.
- Client-ready reporting: Generate reports that outline the status and health of client domains, so you can share clear information with the people you work for.
- Manual domain profiles: Domains can be saved with manual profiles, including WHOIS server data, for cases where automatic lookups need a hand.
- Simple, focused interface: Straightforward controls and a clear layout inside the MainWP Dashboard keep setup short and daily use easy for busy developers.
Best for
- Agencies managing many client WordPress sites
- Freelance developers who handle client domain renewals
- Teams already running the MainWP Dashboard
