FAQ
Why doesn’t the panel match WHOIS exactly?
Registry timing vs cache — WHOIS is authoritative for public expiry; the panel shows what the registrar plans.
What if auto-renew fails?
Update billing early — some TLDs have short redemption windows.
Can I transfer away from Gandi before expiry?
Usually yes — unlock / auth code steps depend on the registrar.
Does DNS stop if the domain expires?
Eventually yes — the name leaves DNS when the registration lapses beyond grace.
What is DomainPreflight risk tier?
