24/7 Domain Monitoring & Discovery

Our monitoring engine scans newly registered domains across all major TLDs and ccTLDs in real time, so you see threats before they are weaponized against your organization.

The problem

Abusive domains are registered every day. Without continuous monitoring, you only learn about phishing, typosquatting, or impersonation after customers or employees are harmed. Manual checks and one-off scans cannot keep up with the scale of the domain ecosystem.

  • New domains that mimic your brand or login pages
  • Typosquatting and homophone variants of your key domains
  • IDN and Unicode lookalikes that bypass simple filters
  • Domains registered in hundreds of TLDs and ccTLDs

What we do

  • Global TLD and ccTLD coverage (1,000+ extensions)
  • New domain registration discovery in near real time
  • Typosquatting and keyboard-proximity pattern detection
  • Homophone and lookalike identification
  • IDN and Unicode abuse detection
  • Real-time threat correlation and human-led validation

How it works

  1. 1

    Configure your brand and scope

    You provide your official domains, brand terms, and key marks. We set up monitoring rules and priority levels so the engine focuses on what matters most to you.

  2. 2

    Continuous scanning

    Our engine scans new registrations and existing domains across the global namespace. Patterns are matched against your brand, and potential threats are flagged for review.

  3. 3

    Human validation

    DomainHQ analysts review alerts using proprietary tools and domain expertise. False positives are filtered out so your team only sees actionable threats.

  4. 4

    Prioritized alerts and evidence

    Validated threats are scored and delivered with initial evidence. You can request full forensic packages and escalate to takedown when ready.

Example: anonymized case snapshot

Vertical: Financial services
Threat: Lookalike domains and phishing sites targeting login and wire flows
Action: 24/7 monitoring with human validation and evidence packages for registrar escalation
Outcome: Faster discovery and takedown; reduced time from detection to escalation

Frequently asked questions

  • What TLDs and ccTLDs do you monitor?

    We monitor a broad set of gTLDs and ccTLDs (1,000+ extensions). Coverage includes major commercial TLDs as well as country-code TLDs that are commonly abused. Specific coverage can be discussed for your region and risk profile.

  • How quickly do you detect new abusive domains?

    Our engine processes new registration data and ongoing changes in near real time. Alerts are validated by our team and typically delivered within the same business day, depending on volume and severity.

  • Do you reduce false positives?

    Yes. Every alert is reviewed by analysts with domain and DNS abuse experience. We filter out benign registrations and low-risk lookalikes so you only act on genuine threats.

  • Can the monitoring engine integrate with our systems?

    We provide a secure dashboard, notifications, and evidence packages. API and integration options are available on higher-tier plans; contact us to discuss your requirements.

  • What happens after a threat is detected?

    You receive an alert with context and risk score. You can request full evidence (WHOIS, DNS, screenshots) and use our takedown and escalation workflows to notify registrars, registries, or hosts as needed.
