Domain Monitoring tracks changes to domain name settings. It also includes historical tracking for domain name changes and monitors domain names registered anywhere. When information for these settings changes, Domain Monitoring sends you an email notification.
You set up monitoring for a year at a time. To continue monitoring domain names, you must renew your subscription.
You can use our Domain Monitoring service to track any domain name with a .com, .us, .biz, .net, .org, .info, .me, .mobi, or .co extension, even ones that are not registered by you or with us.
Specifically, this service monitors:
- Registrar — Notifies you of any change to a monitored domain name's registrar.
- Status — Tracks any changes to a domain name's status. For example, if a monitored domain name registered with us changes its status to unlocked, Domain Monitoring notifies you. It also notifies you when a monitored domain name that is not registered with us goes into pendDelete or redemptionPeriod status; indicating that the domain name might soon become available. For more information, see What does the status of a domain name mean?
- Expiration Date — Tracks any changes to the registration expiration date for any monitored domain name.
- Nameserver — Tracks nameserver changes.
For more information, see Setting up Domain Monitoring.
