Back-up your DNS

Worried your current DNS provider might be unavailable one day? Or offline due to a DDoS attack? We've got your back: we offer Bind, PowerDNS and CSV exports for each monitored domain, straight from your DNS Spy dashboard.

Now you can restore your DNS records to any other DNS provider. Your DNS records are safe.


Security surveillance through DNS

When domains change IPs, they could change tech-stack altogether: a new firewall policy, new hardware, new software, ...

Each IP or DNS change opens up new security vectors. Keep track of your domains' DNS changes so you can assess the security situation correctly.


Track your competitors

Want to know what the competition is up to? You'd be surprised to know what you can learn through DNS. Changed records for the domain? Might be a new website launch. New MX records? Or new TXT records?

If you're a reporter and want to stay informed on major changes of technology companies, monitoring their DNS stack is a perfect start.

Stay ahead of the game by being informed.

Resolve CNAME records

We can resolve CNAME records and alert you when the value behind those records changes too.

Get notified when an unexpected record changes as a result of a CNAME change.


100% coverage with zone transfers

Get near real-time updates when you enable AXFR zone transfers.

With zone transfers, we can monitor, alert and back-up even your most obscure DNS records. Without exception.


Detect improper nameserver configurations

We scan your records and validate your configurations. Even if a config is valid for your nameserver, it might still violate RFCs that prevent mail delivery or result in non-functioning DNS records.

Every time your records change, we validate them and will alert you when something's not right.
