Monitor All Your Domains From One Location


Posted by Artem Russakovskii on December 19th, 2008 in Stuff

For quite a while now I wanted a tool to maintain a list of my domains and monitor them for expirations and registration state changes. Having a spreadsheet didn’t cut it anymore but thanks to Joel’s question on stackoverflow, I found DomainTools monitor.

The monitor is free, can track up to 1000 domains and send email (and RSS) alerts when it detects any status changes. Here are the advertised features:

  • Domain Status like "registrar-lock", "redemption-period", and "pending-delete" changes will be sent to you so you can take action when your favorite domains are about to be released.
  • Domain Registar changes are a sign of domain transfers which are detected by Domain Monitor.
  • Expiration dates are monitored so you will know when a domain has been renewed.
  • Domain Name Servers changes also trigger email alerts.

I think now I won’t forget to renew (which is what happened to zhopik.com last year). Take a look at this self-explanatory screenshot:
