Watch the Domains a Matter Turns On.
Contested and client names watched continuously, with a dated trail of registry changes you can put in front of a client.
- Registration changes logged with dates
- Lifecycle alerts as a name moves toward release
- No access to the other side's registrar needed
No credit card required.
A Matter Needs Dates, Not Recollections
Cease-and-desist letters, UDRP filings and settlement talks all lean on the same facts: when a domain was registered, what it pointed at, and what changed after your client made contact. Checking WHOIS the week the filing is due reconstructs none of that.
Put the names on a watchlist at intake. From then on, every registrar transfer, status change and nameserver move is detected and dated as it happens, and the alert history is the timeline.
Continuous Registry Reads
The public registration record is re-read on a schedule, so changes are observed near when they happen instead of discovered at filing time.
Change Alerts With Timestamps
Registrar moves, status flips and nameserver changes each produce a dated alert, delivered by email or into the matter channel.
One Timeline Per Name
Each watched domain accumulates its own history of observed changes, which reads as a chronology rather than a pile of lookups.
Portfolio Overview
Tracking status, expiry, SSL, and DNS across every major gTLD and ccTLD.
Sometimes the Cheapest Remedy Is the Calendar
Not every squatted name is worth a proceeding. A registration that is not renewed simply expires, walks through the registry's deletion stages, and becomes registrable by anyone. A client who is waiting for that day needs to know which stage the name is in, not to be told to keep checking.
Domainyze classifies each watched name into its lifecycle stage from the registry record and alerts on every transition, so the file gets one email when the name enters redemption and another when it is finally available.
Stage-by-Stage Alerts
Expiry, grace, redemption and pending delete are tracked as stages, each transition producing one alert with the date it was observed.
The Day It Drops
When the name is released and registrable, the alert says so plainly, and the client registers it at the standard price through any registrar.
Phase lengths come from each registry's published schedule and are estimates, not observations.
What a Practice Actually Turns On
Three lanes cover the watching, the classifying and the record-keeping.
Watchlist Monitoring
Names you do not own, watched for availability and registration changes on the client's behalf.
Status & Lifecycle Tracking
Each name classified into its registry lifecycle stage, with an alert on every transition.
Client Domain Portfolios
The client's own marks and defensive registrations tracked for expiry in the same account, grouped per client.
Domainyze vs. Manual WHOIS Checks
What changes when the checking is continuous instead of billed by the lookup.
| Aspect | Domainyze Us | Manual Checks |
|---|---|---|
| How often the record is read | On a schedule, every name | When someone remembers |
| Change history | Dated alerts as changes land | Screenshots from the day you looked |
| Catching a lapsed name | Alert on the day of release | Found weeks late, often re-registered |
| Names watched at once | The whole docket | However many fit in a morning |
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions from counsel and trademark practitioners.
Can we watch a domain we do not own and have no access to?
Yes, that is the primary use. Domainyze reads the public registration record, public DNS and the certificate a host serves. It needs nothing from the registrant, touches nothing on their side, and they are not notified that a name is being watched.
Is the alert history usable as evidence?
The alerts are a dated record of what the public registry said and when Domainyze observed it change, which is useful for building a chronology and deciding when to act. For a filing you should still capture the registry record directly at the moments that matter; the alerts tell you which moments those are.
What happens if the infringing registration just lapses?
The name walks through the registry's deletion stages, typically an expiry grace period, then redemption, then a short pending-delete window, and then it is released. Domainyze alerts on each stage transition, so the client can register it at the standard price the day it becomes available, with no auction and no backorder fee.
Can each client matter have its own grouping and alerts?
Yes. Domains are grouped and tagged per client or matter, and alert preferences are set per domain, so a contested name can alert on every registry change while a defensive registration only reminds ahead of expiry.
How many names can one account watch?
The free tier watches 5 domains, Pro covers 200 and Business covers 500. Watched names and owned names count the same, because the engine does identical work on both.
