whois expiration limit?

[Lightner, Jeff]

Thanks.  My thinking was the limit was on the whois database since the Registrar was telling me it was registered for more than 10 years.

It appears based on this Registration FAQ regarding “compliance” that the registrar may simply be showing it as 2024 because they can’t really report 2025 and be in compliance.

I was just having a hard time finding anything that mentioned the 10 year limit even though it seemed likely that was the issue.

Hopefully you’re correct that the Registrar will automatically adjust it before 2024.   I’ll set myself a reminder for next year and prompt them if they don’t automatically update it themselves so we don’t have to remember in 2024 that we already paid for another year.

Hi,  I know this is the BIND list but I’m thinking folks who deal with DNS probably may be able to answer this question about whois.

We recently transferred and renewed a domain by 2 years which pushed its expiration to 01/25/2025.   The order confirmation shows that expiration and looking at the domain at the Registrar’s web site under our account it shows that expiration as well.   However, when running whois both here and at the Registrar’s site it shows expiration 01/25/2024.  It makes me wonder if there is a 10 year limit in whois since 2024 would be within 10 years but 2025 would be outside of it.

I didn’t see anything in RFC 3912 describing whois that even suggests a limit for expirations dates.

Not a big deal as I may be dead by then either way – just wondering if anyone knows of a reason this would occur.

Please don’t suggest I contact the Registrar.  I already did and they seemed as clueless as I am.

"Each registrar has the flexibility to offer initial and renewal registrations in one-year increments, provided that the maximum remaining unexpired term shall not exceed ten years."

In reality, they'll probably issue the renewal automagically once you're under the 9-year mark and the domain is renewal-eligible.
