Paste a domain and see the registrar, the dates, the name servers, and the status codes. This page looks it up once. A free account keeps the domain and emails you when the record changes.
No credit card. Any registrar. You do not come back for the next lookup.
The rest of a WHOIS record is contact noise, and much of it is hidden on purpose.
The day the registration ends. After that comes a grace period, then a costly redemption period, then anyone can register the name.
The lookup shows the registrar, the expiry date, and the name servers. A change in those records is stored. It is not an alert, and the lookup does not spot a hijack.
clientTransferProhibited means the domain cannot move to another registrar until it is unlocked. A domain with no lock is easier to transfer by mistake.
A lookup is a snapshot. The account is what notices the next change.
No credit card. The watch starts as soon as the domain is on the account.
RDAP and SSL answer a different question, once. The account is what keeps this domain.
The domain stays on the account. Email when the expiry is close or the record changes.

The public registration record for a domain: the registrar, the dates, the name servers, and the status codes.
Privacy rules let registrars hide a person's name and email. The registrar, the dates, and the name servers are usually still shown.
clientTransferProhibited means the domain cannot be moved to another registrar until someone unlocks it. That lock is normal protection, not an error.
RDAP returns the same kind of facts in a consistent structure, over HTTPS. Some country domains still answer only over WHOIS. If one lookup is empty, try the other.
