Domain Monitoring

Never lose a domain to a date nobody was watching

We watch every domain you have with us, every domain pointed at your hosting, and any other domain you add — wherever it is registered. You hear before it expires, when it renews, and the moment its registrar, nameservers or registry status change. It costs nothing.

A watchlist that starts already filled in

Most domain monitors begin as an empty box and ask you to type in everything you own — which is exactly the domain you forget that costs you. Yours begins full: every domain registered with us is on it, and so is every domain pointed at hosting with us, whoever it is registered with. You add the rest.

It is not limited to domains we sell you. A domain sitting at another registrar with a renewal date you have never checked is the one this is for, and watching it here costs you nothing and tells us nothing we would not already learn the day it broke.

A network of watched domains, each reporting its registry status back to one list

What it tells you

Six things, each one a question somebody only asks after it has gone wrong.

Expiry, five times over

At 60, 30, 14, 7 and one day out — once each, so a re-check cannot re-send. Renew it and the whole ladder re-arms for the new date.

Renewals confirmed

When the expiry date moves forward we say so. It is the one piece of good news in the list, and it is how you know an auto-renew at somebody else's registrar actually fired.

Registrar changes

If the registrar of record changes, you hear. On a domain you did not move, that is the earliest warning of a transfer you did not authorise.

Nameserver changes

Compared against what the registry held last time. A delegation that changes without you is either a mistake or somebody else, and both are worth a message.

Registry status

clientHold, redemptionPeriod, pendingDelete and the rest, as the registry publishes them. These are the states that decide whether a domain is recoverable, and they are invisible in most control panels.

Gone

If the registry stops answering for a name it used to answer for, we confirm it with a second check before telling you — because a registry blip and a deletion look identical the first time.

How it works

Three steps, and you have already done the first one.

  1. Your domains are added for you

    Register a domain with us, or point one at your hosting here, and it joins your watchlist the same day. Nothing to switch on.

  2. Add anything else

    Type any domain into the watchlist and we start checking it daily, whoever it is registered with. There is nothing to connect and no credential to hand over.

  3. Mute or remove, whenever

    Silence a domain you already know about without losing its history, or take it off the list entirely. A domain you remove stays removed — nothing puts it back.

What it costs

Nothing, and there is a reason we can say that plainly.

Alerts arrive by email and through whichever channels you already use for account notifications. Any single domain can be muted without leaving the list.

Why we built it

Losing a domain is one of the few things on a hosting platform that is genuinely unrecoverable. Past redemption there is no support ticket that fixes it, and the customers it happens to are almost never the ones who were careless — they are the ones whose renewal notice went to an address nobody reads any more.

So this watches the domains you did not buy from us too. It would be easy to monitor only our own and call it a feature; it would also be useless on the exact domain most likely to lapse.

Does it work for domains registered somewhere else?

Yes, and that is the point of it. We read the public registry record, so a domain at Namecheap, GoDaddy, Porkbun, Cloudflare or anywhere else is watched the same way as one of ours. You do not connect an account or give us a password.

Do I have to add my own domains?

No. Every domain registered with us is added automatically, and so is every domain pointed at hosting with us — even one somebody else registered. You only type in the extras.

What happens if I cancel the hosting?

A domain that was only on the list because of that hosting comes off it. One you registered with us, or added yourself, stays — your site went away, your domain did not, and its renewal date still matters.

Can I turn off the alerts for one domain?

Yes. Muting a domain suppresses its alerts and keeps checking it, so the history stays unbroken and un-muting does not bury you in everything that happened meanwhile.

If I remove a domain, will it come back?

No. A domain you remove stays removed, even if it is registered with us and even if you provision new hosting on it. Putting it back is something only you can do.

How often is it checked?

Daily, for every domain on every watchlist. Registry records change on the order of days, so a daily read catches everything worth telling you about without hammering registries that publish this data for free.
