For your own good, domain registrars should contact you, by email, well in advance of an expiration. Worst case scenario, the name is held by the registrar for the grace period and the former owner has exclusive rights to it during that term.


Moniker actually sense out these emails regular like clockwork.

A sample:

# 0 Domains Pending Deletion - [ RENEW NOW ]

# 0 Domains Pending Deactivation

# 0 Domains Expiring Within 7 Days

# 51 Domains Expiring Within 35 Days

# 146 Domains Expiring Within 75 Days

So they actually start warning more than two months in advance.
