What We Monitor

Four Layers of Domain Protection

We monitor every critical aspect of your domains and alert you the moment something changes. All powered by the same APIs you already use.

WHOIS Change Detection

Detect modifications to domain ownership, registrar, nameservers, status codes, and contact information. Essential for brand protection and trademark monitoring.

DNS Record Monitoring

Track changes in A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, and NS records. Get alerted when DNS configurations change — whether from authorized updates or unauthorized tampering.

SSL Certificate Tracking

Monitor SSL/TLS certificate validity, issuer changes, and upcoming expirations. Prevent service disruptions caused by expired or misconfigured certificates.

Domain Expiry Alerts

Never let a domain lapse by accident. Receive advance warnings before your domains expire, giving you time to renew or take action on expiring third-party domains.

Why Domain Monitoring Matters

Domain names are critical business assets. A hijacked domain, an expired SSL certificate, or an unauthorized DNS change can cause downtime, data breaches, or loss of customer trust. WhoisJSON's monitoring service continuously checks your domains across four layers — WHOIS registration data, DNS records, SSL certificates, and expiry dates — and alerts you the moment anything changes. Unlike standalone monitoring tools, our service is built on top of the same WHOIS API, DNS API, and SSL API that power thousands of integrations, ensuring accurate and reliable data.

Integrated with Your API Workflow

Domain monitoring is not a separate product — it is part of the WhoisJSON platform. The same API key that gives you access to WHOIS lookups, DNS resolution, domain availability checks, and SSL validation also powers your monitoring dashboard. There is no extra configuration or billing. Simply log into your dashboard, add the domains you want to track, and let our system handle the rest. Monitoring runs on every plan, from the free tier (1 domain) to enterprise plans (50+ domains).

Protect Your Brand and Infrastructure

Combine monitoring with our other APIs to build a complete domain security strategy. Use the WHOIS API to investigate suspicious domain registrations. Cross-reference DNS records with the NSLookup API to verify propagation after changes. Check SSL certificate validity with the SSL Certificate API to prevent service disruptions. And use domain availability checks to snap up expiring domains the moment they become available. Everything works together through a single token and a unified API documentation.
