Domain monitoring for your brand and the names you want
Save a search once. Domain Watch notifies you daily about the domains that match it.
Every day we check the newly registered, dropped and changed domains in more than 500 TLDs (domain endings such as .com, .xyz and .shop). You see new registrations that copy your brand, names that are expiring, and domains that change nameservers, without reading the whole feed.

Brand protection
Spot lookalike domains within a day of registration
Save your brand, your product names and their common typos once. Domain Watch checks every newly registered domain and lists the ones that match, so you can act before a lookalike is used for phishing or fake shops.
- Match a term anywhere in the name, at the start or end, or exactly
- Add typos and other spellings as extra terms
- Skip names you expect, such as your own campaign domains
- Each match links to its WHOIS, so you see who registered it
Expiring names
Catch the names you want as they drop
Domains that drop out of DNS are often expiring and may soon be available to register. Watch for the keywords and lengths you want and get the short list, not the whole feed.
- Limit a watch to the TLDs you buy, such as .com only
- Set a length range and leave out names with digits or hyphens
- Keep 1,000 matches a day per watch and download them as CSV
Nameserver changes
See when domains change hands or hosts
A move to new nameservers often means a new owner, a new host or a parking page. Follow a keyword across the TLDs you care about and see which domains just moved.
- Track a market, such as names that contain “bank”, across .com, .net and .org
- Skip words you do not want, so the list stays useful
- See every change by day, filter by type, and download the list as CSV
Daily digest
Notified daily, only when there is something new
Each watch sends one digest on the days it finds new matches, and nothing on the days it does not. The digest lists the domains and what changed, with a link to the full list.
- Up to 50 domains in each digest, with the change for each
- One digest per watch, so each search stays separate
- Turn the digest off for a watch and check matches in your account instead
Ideas for watches
A watch is a saved search. Here are some searches to start with.
Phishing lookalikes
Watch: Contains “acme” in every TLD
Catches: acme-login.com, acmesupport.xyz, secure-acme.shop
Typosquats of your name
Watch: Contains “amce”, “acmme” and “akme”
Catches: amcebank.com, acmme.net, akme-pay.app
A product name before launch
Watch: Is exactly “rocketpay” in every TLD
Catches: rocketpay.io, rocketpay.shop, rocketpay.app
Short .com names
Watch: Dropped .com names, at most 5 characters, no digits or hyphens
Catches: Five-letter brandable names that may soon be available
Keyword names in your niche
Watch: Contains “coffee” or “roast” in .com and .co
Catches: coffeemach.com, dayoneroast.com
Competitor activity
Watch: Starts with your competitor’s name, nameserver changes
Catches: A new site going live, or a domain moving to a new owner

- Add your brand as a "Contains" term, and add common typos as more terms. Use "Skip names containing" to leave out matches you expect, such as your own campaign domains.
