Domain Watch
What has been registered that looks like us?
Domain Watch observes registration activity, DNS behaviour and certificate transparency logs for names that imitate yours. Crucially, it reports whether a look-alike is currently live, parked or dormant — because an inactive registration and an active cloned checkout are entirely different problems.
Names registered to be mistaken for yours
What we observe
- Domain registration records
- DNS resolution and hosting behaviour
- Certificate transparency logs
- Content served at look-alike names
Typical findings
- Character-substitution and homoglyph registrations
- Added-keyword variants suggesting support or billing
- Alternative-extension clones serving live content
- Recently issued certificates for imitative names
Limits
Registration data is incomplete where privacy services are used, and a look-alike registration is not by itself evidence of intent.
Relevant when
You transact online, send transactional email, or your customers type your name into a browser.
