Domain Monitoring Service

We'll watch your domain. You'll know the day it opens.

Lost a domain you care about? We check its registry record every day and send an SMS and email when it becomes available, so you can act without checking it yourself.

Why this matters

You don't forget the domain you lost. Especially when someone else is using it.

It rarely happens all at once. A renewal notice slips into spam. A card on file expires. You mean to deal with it next week. Then one day you type in your own name: your brand, your project, the site you spent years building, and it's a wall of parked ads. Or a competitor. Or a stranger asking for thousands to hand it back.

Here's what almost no one realizes: that domain will become available again. When the next owner stops paying, it drops back into the open, but only for a few minutes, on a morning you'll never see coming. Whoever is watching that exact second registers it. Everyone else finds out too late.

Don't let it be a stranger. Be the one who's watching.

How it works

Three steps. No dashboard required.

Automated, no dashboard needed. SMS and email when availability is detected.

1

You tell me the domain

Enter the exact domain you want during checkout. We'll confirm it's currently registered and add it to the watch list.

2

Our automation watches it

We check the domain's registration status every day. When it drops out of the registered database, the alert fires.

Example status email

3

You get an SMS and email that day

When our daily check finds it available, we send both a text and an email with a direct "go register it now" alert.

What you'll receive

Two alerts when it becomes available.

Both messages include the domain name and a direct link to register. The daily registry check removes the need to remember to look yourself.

Use cases

Who uses domain monitoring

Real situations where watching a domain is worth the wait.

Domain Recovery

Forgot to renew in time

You let the renewal slip, or your registrar's reminder went to spam. Now someone else has it. I'll alert you on the day our registry check finds it free again.

Brand Protection

Your name domain got picked up

JohnSmith.com, your business name, your brand: someone registered it before you did or while you had it lapsed. Watch for the drop.

Business

Business domain expired

Your company domain lapsed during a transition: a billing issue, team change, or just an oversight. Watch it until it becomes available.

Acquisition

The domain you want is taken

You found the perfect name but it's currently registered. Many domains turn over, especially personal sites and small businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do you check?

We check once daily. When that check finds the domain available, we send the SMS and email alert that day.

How long does monitoring last?

We check once daily while your subscription is active. Some domains become available within weeks; others take months or years, depending on what the current owner does.

What happens when it becomes available?

You get both an SMS text and an email when our daily check finds it available. Both messages identify the domain and explain how to register it.

Can I monitor more than one domain?

Each subscription covers one domain. Purchase multiple subscriptions for multiple domains, and each one gets its own automated watch.

Will you register it for me?

Not automatically. We send you the alert and you register it at any registrar you prefer (Namecheap, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, etc.). You stay in full control.

What if the domain takes a long time to drop?

Some domains stay registered for years, and that's fine. At $5/year we keep watching until it drops or you cancel.
