Purpose-built domain monitoring for the .za namespace
Status change detection with daily WHOIS sweeps
DomainWatch was born from a problem we hit ourselves - there was no tool in South Africa to watch a .co.za domain and tell you when it drops. Registrars confirmed they could not help. Global services do not cover .za. So we built it. Now it covers 170+ TLDs, starts at R99, and runs on the same proven Laravel scaffolding as FansFrame and TapTheTable.
