Activate Surveillance of a domain

he domain monitoring service is a complementary service to domain registration, consisting of a daily analysis of the status of the domain specified by the customer. It is activated from the SWPanel. Our automatic systems check the status of a specific domain and notify you when it becomes free (or any other type of domain status).

SW Hosting only offers domain monitoring for the extensions available for registration, detailed at all times in the SWPanel. Any other extension cannot be monitored and this situation will be notified during the first step of the monitoring activation.

Checkpoints

Checkpoints involve querying external Whois servers not controlled by SW Hosting. SW Hosting defines a single daily hourly checkpoint where the status checks of the domains under surveillance are performed, so only changes in the domain status will be detected at the checkpoint.

If you agree with the costs, just click on Accept the contract and Activate the monitoring.
