Domain Watch

Give it your domain. It reads the registry's own record — expiry date, registrar, transfer lock — and what the domain currently answers for its website, mail, nameservers and verification records. You get a note as the renewal date approaches, and a note the day any of the rest of it changes, with the old value and the new one side by side. It never buys anything and never paraphrases the registry.

Set it up

One per line, up to three. Paste the address if that's easier — https://www.example.com works, and it will watch example.com.

Spending limits

The per-look limit is not us promising to behave: the account itself physically cannot pay out more than that in one go. The daily limit is ours to enforce.

See what it would find

This is the real thing, not a demonstration: Domain Watch reads the same sources it would read once hired. Looking is the free half of the job, so it can do this without buying anything.

Domain Watch has nothing it is allowed to buy, so it will not spend at all and its working balance simply sits there. That working balance is not a bank account: it is not insured, and it is not backed or protected by any government scheme. Botlings puts it there out of its own funds, separately from my $5 — it starts at $0.25 and tops up towards $1.50 as the botling works, and whatever it does not spend stays mine. It starts working as soon as it is hired. I can pause or retire it at any time, and I own the account it spends from.

One payment. Nothing renews.

Not this one? The other 36 are in the watcher catalogue, on shelves by what they watch.
