Domain Monitor review
Broad domain and website monitoring with a useful free plan and a £7.99 Pro tier.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Domain Monitor is a web-based service for monitoring domain portfolios, websites, SSL certificates and DNS records. It suits domain owners who want alerts for domain expiration, WHOIS and registration changes, DNS or nameserver changes, SSL certificate expiration, website downtime and domain availability. Its broader monitoring scope also includes blacklist checks, customizable notification channels and public status pages, making it relevant to people managing several connected parts of a web presence.
The Free plan provides 5-minute checks, 2 monitors and coverage for 1 domain. It includes ping monitoring, keyword monitoring, and Slack and webhooks integrations. The Pro plan costs £7.99 per month on monthly billing and raises capacity to 75 monitors and 75 domains, with 1-minute checks. Pro also adds blacklist monitoring, domain availability monitoring and SMS alerts. Across the service, notification options include email, SMS, web, Slack, Discord, Twitter, webhooks and Pushover.
Domain Monitor’s main strength is breadth: one service covers records, certificates, availability, uptime and expiration rather than focusing only on DNS changes. That makes it a practical choice for domain owners who want notifications across several operational risks, especially when public status pages are useful. The trade-off is that the Free plan is deliberately small, while several domain-focused capabilities appear in Pro. Buyers who need a few basic checks can start with Free; those managing multiple domains or websites should consider Pro. It is less suitable for teams seeking a platform beyond the web interface or a narrowly specialized DNS-only tool.
