At any given time, I am tracking the registration details for a considerable number of domain names. Most of these names are owned by my companies, and I follow them as a security precaution. Other domain names I follow are names I am interested in acquiring, and yet others are names I follow for other reasons. There are a whole host of reasons why it’s important to monitor domain names.
DomainTools has a good way to keep track of domain names you have an interest in monitoring. The Domain Monitor service is completely free, and it’s easy to sign up for alerts. All of your alerts will be emailed to you, so you can track a variety of changes as the happen.
Some of the things you can track:
- Ownership changes
- Registrar changes
- Expiration date updates
- DNS changes
If there are domain names you want to follow, sign up for free alerts on them pretty easily and quickly.
I use godaddy to monitor domains I own, but, is there a danger monitoring domains you would like to aquire? By someone showing interest, could that cause someone in that company to grab it, before it becomes available?
Beside DomainTools.com, is there any other alternative ?
Thank you.
I only use DomainTools.
