Domain Monitor is a web service for monitoring domains and related infrastructure. It checks websites, servers, SSL certificates, DNS, cron jobs, keywords, ports and domain availability. Domain monitoring displays WHOIS and domain record information and tracks expiration; the service advertises instant downtime and expiration alerts. Notifications can go through email, SMS, web, Slack, Discord, Twitter, webhooks or Pushover. Team members can receive domain and SSL expiration alerts as contacts without creating accounts. The free plan includes two monitors, one domain, one status page, two notification contacts, five-minute checks and 14-day uptime monitoring. Pro lists 75 monitors and domains, five blacklist monitors, five domain availability monitors, 15 SMS alerts, three status pages and one-minute checks. Pro also includes custom HTTP statuses, DNS monitoring, faster checks, response-time monitoring and cron monitoring. For new customers, Pro costs 6.39 GBP per month for the first month, then 7.99 GBP per month. Free traceroute, ping-test and IP-address-finder tools are also available.
