Set up domain monitoring
Note: GoDaddy is retiring the backorder and monitoring programs in 2025. You can use existing backorder credits until they're removed from your account on October 7, 2025. Backorder credits have not been available for purchase since August 8, 2024.
Adding domain monitoring to a domain is a useful method to track changes on a domain of interest.
- Go to your GoDaddy My Products page. You might be prompted to sign in.
- Select Domain Products from your product list and then select Manage next to Domain Backorder.
- Select Add Monitoring.
- Enter the domain(s) you want to monitor (one per line).
- Enter your email address, then select OK.
- Email address 1 — Enter the email address you want us to send notifications to.
- (Optional) Email address 2 — Enter the secondary email address you want us to send notifications to.
- You'll see a confirmation message that your changes have been processed and your domain will be set up for monitoring within a few minutes, then select OK.
