Monitoring domain expiration is crucial as it helps avoid unwarranted downtimes that can affect business reputation and operations. When domains expire without timely renewal, they become vulnerable to cybersquatting and other malicious activities that may take over the domain. Ensuring continuous domain availability is essential for maintaining consumer trust and safeguarding digital assets.
