Monitoring Domain Expiry on Cloudflare Registrar

If your domain is registered with Cloudflare Registrar, expiry monitoring and auto-renew are in the same dashboard as your DNS. Here's how to check your expiry date and make sure auto-renew is enabled.

DNS vs Registrar

Cloudflare DNS can be on any domain — expiry settings here apply when Cloudflare is also your registrar for that name.
