DNS Notify: alerts when DNS records, certificates or domains change

About DNS Notify

DNS Notify watches the parts of a domain that can quietly break a website or email: DNS records, the nameserver set, the SSL certificate and the public registration data. When a value you are monitoring changes, or an expiry date gets close, it emails you, and the domain's timeline keeps the old and new values side by side so you can see exactly what changed.

Setup starts with a scan. You enter a domain and it checks more than 800 common DNS names automatically, then you choose which records to monitor. It supports a long list of record types, from A, AAAA and CNAME through CAA, CDS, CSYNC and ZONEMD. Certificate monitoring follows the certificate on port 443 from issue to expiry, including issuer, key and fingerprint, and registration monitoring tracks the registrar, status codes and expiry date so a domain does not lapse silently.

It deliberately avoids extras: the homepage says there are no complex scores, no generic recommendations and no AI analysis, only the changes you asked it to watch. There is a free DNS scan and lookup tool.

Pricing is simple: GBP 5 a month per five domains, with a seven-day trial and no card, and a yearly option. It suits small agencies and site owners who manage a handful of domains and want a plain change log.
