Walmart.com, Ford.com and other big firm domains expire soon

GoldmanSachs.com expires later this month!

Picture of an hour glass with the words "time's (almost) up"

OK, I get it. Fortune 500 firms use reputable brand management domain registrars that are good at auto-renewing domain names.

Still, if you’re Comcast, does it make sense that your domain name expires in just a couple of months? If you’re a big banking institution like Goldman Sachs, why are you waiting until days ahead of your domain name is due to expire to renew it? If you’re Wal-Mart, the world’s biggest retailer, does it make sense that a core piece of your infrastructure is due to go offline in under three months?

Here are 6 Fortune 500 firms with domain names expiring in the fresh four months.

GoldmanSachs.com – July 24

Comcast.com – August 28

Ford.com – August 31

Walmart.com – September 23

Humana.com – September 25

Chase.com – October 9
