The Outage That Starts at the Registrar.
Every domain your infrastructure depends on, watched for expiry, SSL and DNS, with alerts in the channel on-call reads.
- Client and company domains in one inventory
- Certificate and DNS changes caught as they land
- Alerts into Slack, webhooks or the ticket queue
No credit card required.
You Cannot Monitor What Nobody Wrote Down
The domains that take a business down are rarely the ones in the runbook. They are the marketing microsite a contractor registered, the client domain on a personal credit card, and the acquisition's old primary that still handles mail.
Domainyze turns that sprawl into one monitored inventory. Import every name you can find, tag it by client or system, and the engine reads the public registry record for each one on a schedule, whoever the registrar is.
One Inventory, Any Registrar
Track domains registered anywhere, by anyone. No registrar logins or API keys are needed, because the engine reads public WHOIS and RDAP.
Expiry Before It Is an Incident
Reminders fire on a ladder ahead of every expiry date, so a lapsed card at a registrar you do not control stops being a Saturday page.
Registration Change Alerts
Registrar transfers, status changes and nameserver moves are detected from the registry record, which is where a hijack shows up first.
Alerts Where On-Call Already Looks
A monitoring product that only sends email is a monitoring product your team reads on Monday. Domain problems have lead time built in, and the point of watching them is to spend that lead time responding instead of discovering.
Route alerts per severity into Slack, Discord or signed webhooks, and wire the webhook into the ticketing system so a certificate warning opens a ticket instead of a thread.
Signed Webhooks
Every alert can post to an HMAC-signed webhook, so the PSA or ticketing integration you build can trust what arrives.
Live Certificate Checks
The certificate actually served is verified, issuer and chain included, so a failed auto-renewal is caught while the old cert is still valid.
DNS Change Detection
Nameserver, MX and record-set changes are diffed against the last known zone, and confirmed against a second resolver before alerting.
{
"event": "ssl.invalid",
"domain": "api.sideproject.com",
"data": {
"issuer": "Let's Encrypt",
"days_remaining": -1,
"status": "EXPIRED"
}
}The Lanes an Operations Team Turns On
Four monitoring lanes cover the registrar-side failure modes an uptime check cannot see.
SSL Monitoring
Expiry ladders and live handshake checks on every certificate the fleet serves, with renewal-aware alerting.
DNS Change Detection
Record-level diffs of each zone, with delegation, mail and security records never graded down.
Alert Routing
Email, Slack, Discord and signed webhooks per alert type, so each severity lands where the right people read.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC Monitoring
Each client domain's mail records are checked on every zone scan, so a broken SPF record or a second DMARC record is caught before mail starts bouncing.
Domainyze vs. Uptime Monitors
An uptime check tells you the site is down. These are the failures it cannot see coming.
| Failure Mode | Domainyze Us | Uptime Monitor |
|---|---|---|
| What is watched | Registry record, DNS zone, certificate | One HTTP endpoint |
| Domain expiry | Reminder ladder ahead of the date | Alerts after the site is already down |
| DNS tampering | Record-level change alerts | Invisible until resolution fails |
| Failed cert renewal | Caught while the old cert is valid | Browser warning is the alert |
| Warning before impact | Days to weeks | Zero |
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions from operations and managed-service teams.
Do I need registrar credentials or DNS access for client domains?
No. The engine reads public WHOIS and RDAP records, public DNS answers and the certificate a host actually serves. You can monitor a client domain without asking the client for anything, and nothing Domainyze does can modify their registration or zone.
Can alerts open tickets in our PSA or ticketing system?
Yes, through signed webhooks. Every alert type can post a JSON payload with an HMAC signature to an endpoint you control, so a small receiver can create tickets, page on-call or post to a client channel. Slack and Discord are built in if you want the shorter path.
How do we monitor domains across many separate clients?
Group and tag domains by client, then filter every view by that grouping. Alert preferences are per domain, so a critical client production name can alert more aggressively than a parked one.
How many domains can one account watch?
The free tier covers 5 domains, Pro covers 200 and Business covers 500. MSP fleets usually land on Business for the domain count and the faster check cadence.
Will this replace our uptime monitoring?
No, and it is not trying to. Uptime checks tell you a service stopped answering. Domainyze watches the layer underneath, the registration, the zone and the certificate, where failures give days of warning if anything is looking. Run both.
