DomainWatch makes it easy for you to monitor your own domains and ones you want to acquire. We keep an eye on expiration dates, nameservers, SSL certificates, whois contacts and more. DomainWatch is free for monitoring expiration for 10 domains. If you have more domains and want to monitor more than just expiration dates, say hello.

Hey. Sounds nice! However, I was told by a domain name expert that if you want to get a domain that’s currently dormant you have to register with “snapnames” and/or “dropcatch”. Otherwise you’ll not be able to get an expiring domain even if you’re notified about it. The ”notification” might already be too late. Anyways, I’m not an expert in this field and I’m only repeating what I’ve heard. Happy to be proven wrong by someone with more knowledge.😀

@guidoj You are absolutely right, for some domains you do need to pay a dropcatching fee if you want a chance to get it. But also, have you checked the prices, and their success rate? In essence, it is too expensive, and doesn't guarantee success. Further more, there is no "secondary option". I once backordered at GoDaddy, a domain name that was registered with GoDaddy, and someone from Dropcatch ended up getting it. How is that fair? For example, if you would casually like to know if some domain name will become available so that you can get it at base price, this is the tool for that. And there are still thousands of domains every day that do expire without anyone catching them! This tool doesn't compete with big dropcatching services like GoDaddy, Dropcatch, Snapnames, etc. This tool will help you catch domain names that are going to expire, without you having to keep checking them manually.

Interesting but why monitoring if at the end you cannot get the domain?

Pros:

The design is clean

Cons:

The purpose is discutable

@amrith Thanks man! Well, I have to validate the basics first, but here are some ideas: * Full whois alerting - nameserver, transfer prohibited, registrar/registrant/admin/tech contacts (this is more of a security feature) * Domain ownership verification (so you can get different notifications and suggestions, eg. suggesting a backordering on a domain that you own doesn't really make sense) * Slack/Telegram notifications
