Launched this week
Most people who want a specific domain name have no way to know when a real opportunity to acquire it appears. Notify.domains monitors WHOIS, RDAP, auctions, marketplaces, website signals, and more, checking each domain 20+ times per day across all IANA TLDs. When something changes, you get a plain-English notification with exact next steps, not raw data. $24/year, 7-day free trial, no credit card required.

@michaelcyger Does this also cover the smaller country-code TLDs? UI looks super clean...nice launch
Notify.domains
@priya_kushwaha1 Yes. All IANA root-zone TLDs, including the small ccTLDs. 2,205 extensions right now. Some registries publish less than others, so WHOIS/RDAP can be thin, but you still get change detection on what they expose, plus website, DNS, auction, and marketplace signals. Thanks for the kind words on the UI.

@marcelo_earth Marcelo, thank you. Missing the opportunity window is how people lose domain names they actually wanted.
Add the domain names you still care about and we will watch them. Free trial for a week to try it out.

@michaelcyger I love this, congrats on the launch!

@dan_mindru Thank you, Dan! I was channeling your launch abilities and trying to reproduce your prior success! 🤝
Congratulations on the launch, Mike. The landscape of the places domain names may be available has become more decentralized, making a service such as this essential for those names you really want. I can't begin to imagine to complexity behind the scenes of making this work with so many different systems. Hats off for getting it all together and launched.
Am I correct that there is nothing to present two, or more, people from signing up for monitoring the exact same name? If so, I presume they would each get the same information according to their notification preferences?

@agreatdomain Bob, thank you. That decentralization point is exactly why this exists.
A lot of people watch a name until it expires, see the site stop resolving or land on a registrar expired page, and assume they can hand-register it when it drops. For a desirable name, that is almost never what happens. The registrar's auction partner usually lists it first. If you do not know which auction site that is, you never get a chance to bid. The name sells, or it goes to a drop-catcher, and the people refreshing WHOIS find out too late. Notify.domains makes crystal clear what is generally opaque to most people.
Nothing stops two people from watching the exact same name. They do not see each other. Each person gets the same underlying changes, delivered according to their own notification settings, whether that is email, Telegram, Slack, or a webhook. We do not share watch lists between customers.
Each person only sees the changes and the auction and marketplace price chart from the day they started watching. If one person started a year ago and another starts today, the second person does not inherit that year of history. They only get what we recorded after they added the name.
Cool. This way you can track all your competitors domains :) Are there any limits on the number of domains for $24?
Notify.domains
@natalia_iankovych Natalia, thank you. Yes. You can watch competitor domain names the same way you watch your own.
The $24 is per domain name per year, not a cap on how many you can add. There is no limit on the number of domain names. As the list gets larger, the per-domain rate drops. You can see how it drops here: https://notify.domains/pricing/
A nameserver change, a new marketplace listing, or the site going dark on a competitor domain name is often the first public signal they are moving or doing something you should know about.
Hello Inbox
I could definitely use this. Do you have the ability to search by keyword or industry instead of specific domains?
@mikesabet this could be helpful for your search.
Notify.domains
@ismaelyws Not today, Hans. Notify.domains watches specific domain names you add, not a keyword or industry search. If you already know the names you care about, add those and we watch them. If you and Mike are still hunting for ideas by keyword, that is a different job, and I do not want to pretend we do that.
Happy to answer any other questions you have. Thanks for checking it out.
I've been using Notify.domains to track a name that I've been lusting over for more than a decade... it's no longer being used, it's not for sale, and the owner won't respond, so knowing that Notify.domains is working 24/7 on my behalf gives me hope that one day I'll get my chance to own it.
And Michael genuinely listens to feedback and continues to improve the service, so what's not to love?!?!
Notify.domains
@ammarkubba Thanks for using Notify.domains, Ammar! 🙏
I appreciate your support and we’ll keep improving the system to help you get your desired domains.
Notify.domains
@ralphquintero Ralph, thank you. That means a lot because you've actually been using the service. 🙏

Love that the alerts explain what to do next. Really useful for founders waiting on the right domain. Congrats on the launch!
Notify.domains
@andryemel Thanks, Andrei. That's the whole bet. Most people who want a name don't lose it at checkout. They lose it because they never saw the listing, the auction, or the status change in the first place.
My wife just signed up for a service that watches flights you're thinking of taking and tells you when a seat opens up in a particular class, like if you can use an upgrade coupon. This is similar for domain names!
I'll be here all day if you have questions. Thanks for your support.
