Is the domain expired, parked, suspended, or alive? Plain-English domain lifecycle — built on RDAP (the modern WHOIS replacement) with EPP status flags decoded and an owner-action checklist for the not-good states.

RDAP is the registry-published replacement for WHOIS — same data, structured JSON, available without authentication for most TLDs. Lookups go through rdap.org, which redirects to the appropriate registry server (Verisign for .com/.net, PIR for .org, etc.). Cached up to 24 hours.
