iCalendar subscriptions

• See also RSS/Atom feeds

Simplename offers a simple subscription service, allowing you to track the expiry of up to 25 domains using your calendar software (iCalendar compatible). To do so, you can use the reminders wizard or construct a url with the following format:

webcal://www.simplename.co.nz/ical/renewal/domain1.co.nz+domain2.co.nz+domain3.co.nz

The calendar lists events on the day of expiry, 7 days before expiry and 30 days before expiry. Alarms are also configured for those dates, however depending on your calendar application, alarms from external subscriptions such as this may not be imported.

Please: Do not query this service heavily. Continuous heavy use may result in your IP being barred to ensure service for others.

Questions

Can I track renewal dates for domains of other registrars?

Yes, by popular demand this service works for any .nz domain, although the renewal link always goes to simplename.

Can I track renewal dates of domains for which I'm not the registrant/admin?

Yes. The date of expiry is a matter of public record (in the whois service), we saw no reason to attempt to restrict users to monitoring their own domains and thus add a layer of complexity.

Can I prevent my domain from being monitored in this fashion?

You can request that we blacklist the domain from this service via email. However, the expiry information is always available via the public whois service, and cannot be removed from there.
