Practical usage

Protect Against Cybersquatting

Protect your or your customers' domains against abuse by keeping an eye out on domain registrants known for cybersquatting. Using their names or other registrant details as search criteria can help you stay abreast of their moves, especially if they register look-alikes of your domains.

Monitor Your Competitors

Keep track of your competitors’ business moves. The domains they recently acquired could signify a new product/service launch, an ongoing merger and acquisition (M&A), or a new company launch. Use their registrant’s name as a Registrant Alert monitoring term to get automated notifications.

Build Up Your Domain Portfolio

Use your favorite domain registrant’s name as a monitoring term to get notified as soon as lucrative-looking domains get dropped.
