Domain Monitor Script?
Hi folks,
I have a bunch of domains from different providers, and am looking to monitor its status, expiry date, etc automatically. I'd need email notifications, any suggestion?
Besides this one http://tinymonitor.com/domain-monitor , can't find anything much.
Edit: Want self-hosted.

you can give me a gift (the last domain what you have buy ) for exemple , no future need to monitorise
Hehehe!
I'm getting even better domains.
It's pretty hard to do this as self-hosted as each Whois server have its query limit from single IP.
Yeah that's something that worries me, need to think about it.

Might solve that tho.
Edit: Nah, it'll limit anyway, it's not server but client.
It's perfectly easy to do it without getting blacklisted. After all, your domain information won't change that much in a year.
@MrGeneral i can recommend you.. dnmin.com
Prtg from paessler.
100 sensors free (can monitor other things as well).
There is a custom sensor for monitoring domain status.
Agreed, but the system I am checking, will get me blocked, since it'll update all in a cronjob...
Will check, thank you!
Will investigate, thanks!
Use excel sheet to sort domains by expiry dates. Also use email reminders for domain renewal dates.
P.S: You can enable auto renew on domains. You'll get few email reminders from your providers when 90, 60, 30 days left.
Yeah, got it, thanks for the ideas
Right but let's say you have 100 domains. You don't need to check every one every hour. You could check them once a month and record in a DB. If a domain is set to expire August 1st, then if the DB learns that in March, the worst that can happen is that in April you'll renew early and then the DB will update when it checks in April.
You can always use google calender to make it simple also.
Thanks for the recommendation. New version is development now, with better UI, faster lookup, and more features!
