Domain Monitoring
Proactively track activity on already registered domains that could harm your brand. Domain monitoring alerts you the moment a domain becomes active, changes behaviour, or signals abuse so you can act before damage occurs.
Monitor a Registered Domain
Abusive domains often remain inactive for long periods before being used for phishing, fraud, or impersonation. Proactive domain monitoring helps you identify risky activity before it impacts your brand or customers. Domain Monitoring helps you:
- Detect risky domain activity as soon as it starts
- Reduce phishing, fraud, and brand impersonation risk
- Gain early evidence to support enforcement and response
What We Monitor
Our monitoring focuses on behavioural and technical signals that indicate potential abuse. This allows you to focus on domains that present real risk, not just registrations. The monitoring includes:
Hosting setup and traffic changes.
Website activation or content changes.
DNS and name server updates.
Email and MX record activation.
How Domain Monitoring Works
Domain Monitoring vs Domain Watch
Domain Monitoring tracks activity and behaviour on domains that are already registered. This complements Domain Watch, which alerts you to newly registered domain names that match or resemble your brand.
Together, they provide coverage across both new registrations and existing domain activity.
