Type your web address. We read the public records and show whose name your domain, website and email are in, before anything breaks.

Sample. Not a real business.
Hidden in the public record. If it isn’t the business, the renewal reminders go to someone else.
Domains are often registered by a web designer, or by someone who has since left the business. The renewal reminders go to whoever is on the record. If those reminders are missed, the website and the email stop together.
The free check looks up two public sources: the domain’s registration record and its DNS records, the public settings that say where its website and email live. It signs in to nothing and needs nothing from you but the address.
Not to run the check, not to keep a register. We record who holds each key, never the key itself: no passwords, no recovery codes, no two-step codes.
Type your web address. In seconds you see where your domain, website and email are held, and when the domain renews.
Fill in what public records can’t show: who is the admin on each account, which email signs in, whether two-step login is on, and who pays. Your score shows how many keys the business holds, such as 7 of 12.
We check again every day. You get an email 60, 30 and 7 days before the domain renews, and whenever the registrar, nameservers, email host or website host change.
Print the logbook as a PDF for a buyer, a new developer, an insurer or your solicitor. Every field is numbered, so instructions can point to it.
Break-glass is for the day you can’t answer. Name the people who should know: a partner, your accountant, your solicitor. Check in now and then. If you go quiet for longer than you chose, a delay starts that you can cancel. When it ends, they receive the map of your accounts and your instructions. It never sends a password, and it isn’t a will.
The Freelancer plan keeps a logbook for each of up to 25 client businesses, under your own name and logo, and hands each one to its owner when the work is done. £29 a month.
No. Who Has The Keys never asks for a password, a recovery code or a two-step code, and has nowhere to store one. The register records who controls each account and how they sign in, such as which email address they use and whether two-step login is on. It never records how to get in.
Public records only. It reads the domain’s registration record, which shows the registrar, the renewal date and the status, and the domain’s public DNS records, which show the nameservers, the website host, the email host and services that have verified the domain. It signs in to nothing.
Most registries now hide the name and address of whoever registered a domain, to protect personal data. So the check can show where your domain is registered and when it renews, but not whose name is on it. That field, the registered keeper, is one only the business can fill in.
Yes. The check is free, with no sign-up and no email address needed. You pay only to keep a register: £6 a month or £60 a year for one business on the Owner plan, or £29 a month for up to 25 client businesses on the Freelancer plan.
Everything that depends on the domain stops together: the website stops loading and email to addresses on the domain stops arriving. The registrar’s reminders go to whoever is on the record. With a register, Who Has The Keys also emails you 60, 30 and 7 days before the renewal date.
