What's being retired and when?

What happens to my existing backorder credits?
You can use existing backorder credits until October 7, 2025, after which, any remaining credits will be removed for your account.
Is there another option for monitoring?
There are multiple domain monitoring tools available to help you keep an eye on domains you're interested in, but Secureserver.net Domain Name Web Hosting will no longer offer monitoring services. You'll no longer receive updates or notifications for any domains you're currently monitoring.
