Expiry

When does whatsapp.com expire?

whatsapp.com's current registration runs until 4 September 2034. Expires in 2897 days.

The owner can renew at any time before then, which moves the date forward by the renewal term. Large brands usually renew years ahead.

  1. Registered
  2. Grace period 45 days
  3. Redemption 30 days
  4. Pending delete 5 days
  5. Released

What happens if it isn't renewed?

An unrenewed .com name passes through fixed phases before it is released: a 45-day grace period in which the owner can still renew at the normal price, a 30-day redemption period in which recovery costs a fee on top of renewal, then 5 days pending delete, when no one can renew or register it. The durations are the .com registry's published figures.

When could it drop?

Only if it is not renewed. The earliest it could be released is 23 November 2034, if every phase runs its full length.

How the .com lifecycle works

Availability

Is whatsapp.com available to register?

No. whatsapp.com is registered, so a registration attempt today would fail.

It only becomes available if the owner lets it lapse and it clears every phase above. Domain Watch checks the name twice a day and sends one email the day it is released.

Age

How old is whatsapp.com?

whatsapp.com is 18 years old: it was first registered on 4 September 2008.

The creation date is when the current registration began. A name that dropped and was re-registered gets a new creation date, so this counts continuous registration, not first use.

The Internet Archive first captured a page on whatsapp.com on 24 January 2009 and holds captures from 18 different years.
