How it works

Three steps to complete DNS visibility.

1

Add your domain

Enter any domain name. DriftWatch runs a full DNS lookup across all record types and stores the results as your baseline snapshot.

2

Choose what to watch

Toggle monitoring on individual records or watch everything. Set your scan interval from every minute to once a day.

3

Get alerted on changes

When a record is added, modified, or deleted, DriftWatch sends the full diff to every channel you've configured.

Built for

Whether you manage 5 domains or 5,000, DriftWatch gives you visibility and peace of mind.

MSPs & hosting providers

Monitor client domains across accounts. Know when clients make DNS changes without telling you, before it causes downtime you get blamed for.
