NsLookup.io DNS Monitoring watches domains for changes to their DNS records and sends notifications when records are added, changed, or removed. It supports A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, NS, TXT, SOA, and CAA records, with configurable check intervals and change detection described as real-time. Baseline snapshots provide a comparison point, while timestamped history records changes. Alerts can go to email, Slack, or webhooks, and users can acknowledge expected updates. A web dashboard brings together monitored domains, their current records, recent changes, and alert status. The service is presented for organizations monitoring DNS for security and compliance. Its Free plan includes unlimited domains and configurable intervals, with all features included and no credit card or setup fees; no price is listed. NsLookup says it processes IP addresses to serve requested pages without storing them, though IP query counts may be kept for up to one hour to prevent abuse. Its privacy policy also describes safeguards for information it holds.
