Tracking a domain that you want to acquire is the primary function of the Domainyze Watchlist.

Here’s the simple process:

  1. Identify the Domain: Find a domain that is currently registered but that you would like to own.
  2. Add to Watchlist:
    • From your dashboard, click the "Add Domain" button.
    • Enter the domain name.
    • Ensure the Watchlist monitoring type is selected. This is the default and is designed specifically for monitoring domain availability.
    • Select the statuses you want to be alerted on. For acquiring domains, the most important status is Available.
    • Click "Add Domain(s)".
  3. Wait for the Alert: That's it! Domainyze will now monitor the domain for you. Our system will check it periodically and will send you an instant notification if its status changes to available.

Tips for Success

  • Act Fast: When you receive an availability alert, act quickly. Dropped domains, especially valuable ones, can be registered by someone else within seconds.
  • Have Your Registrar Ready: Know which registrar you are going to use to register the domain and have your payment information ready.
  • Monitor Multiple Domains: Don't put all your hopes on a single domain. Add multiple potential domains to your watchlist to increase your chances of success.
