Desktop app: Domain managers monitor expiry, DNS and SSL across many domains, review alerts and plan renewal budgets—work done periodically at a desk with multiple registrars to review. Sample screens on a computer, in the proposed brand. Their numbers are sample data.

About this appAI proposal
Lapsewatch pulls every domain you own into one list, whichever registrar holds it. It watches expiry dates, DNS records and SSL certificates, and warns you early, so a renewal does not slip past in a forgotten account.
It is built for domain investors, web agencies that hold domains for clients, and businesses with many names. Group domains by client, assign an owner to each, and share a read-only status page with clients.
Unlike a spreadsheet, it checks on its own and keeps a history of changes. Unlike a self-hosted tool, there is no server to maintain. Start with a CSV import and add registrar connections later.

- Why this name
- A lapse is the thing you fear: a domain expiring. Watch says what the tool does. Two plain words joined, easy to say.
In the first version
Members say which features they would use. It tells PWAS what people want; it changes no score.
All registrars, one list
Import by CSV or paste a list of names. Tag each domain with registrar, renewal cost and owner so nothing lives only in a login.

Expiry alerts that escalate
Email at 90, 30, 7 and 1 days before expiry, passed to a teammate or client contact if nobody acts.
No member yet
DNS change watch
Records are checked on a schedule. See a diff when an A, MX or TXT record changes, to catch mistakes or hijacks.
No member yet
SSL certificate status
See certificate expiry and chain problems per domain, so a lapsed certificate does not take a client site down.

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$194,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- Shared outputs. Agencies share read-only status pages with clients showing renewal dates and health, with a small Lapsewatch mark on each page.
- Do they become customers?
- Clients are mostly one-time viewers, though some own many domains. Test whether any click through and sign up.
- First customers
- Small web agencies with 10 to 50 clients who hold client domains across several registrars.
- Where to reach them
- Domain investor forums: Share a free portfolio checker and answer questions about lapsed domains.
- Open-source tool communities: Offer a hosted option and CSV import for people who do not want to self-host.
- First milestone
- Ten agencies on a paid plan within 60 days, each tracking at least 30 domains.
Why people already pay for this
- VerifiedDomain Locker's pricing page lists 2 paid plans, from $5 to $20 a month, plus a free plan and prices on request for larger customers
- VerifiedGitHub repository gained 1542 stars in 735 days

RisksAI inference
- PlatformMany registrars offer no API, or limit it, so connections may be slow to build. The first version leans on CSV import and public lookups.
- CommercialAn open-source, self-hosted competitor exists, so some users will pay nothing. Convenience and client features must justify a fee.
- DataPublic WHOIS/RDAP data is rate-limited and inconsistent across extensions, which can make expiry dates wrong or missing.
- TechnicalFrequent checks on thousands of domains need careful scheduling to keep costs and false alerts low.
