You\u2019ll be instantly alerted when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A record is changed, or removed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your domain is pointing to a different IP address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MX records are altered (potentially affecting email delivery)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unexpected changes signal possible tampering or misconfiguration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially useful for teams managing multiple domains, large infrastructures, or external DNS providers &#8211; because <strong>even a minor DNS change can have a major impact<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why it Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DNS issues can be silent killers. Traditional uptime monitoring doesn\u2019t always catch DNS misconfigurations until it\u2019s too late. DNS Monitoring adds another layer of protection by catching problems <strong>before they lead to downtime or service disruptions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re managing critical web services, email infrastructure, or global CDN setups, DNS Monitoring gives you the confidence that your domain configuration is safe and intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Enable It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting started is easy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in to your UptimeRobot dashboard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click \u201cAdd Monitor\u201d \u2192 Select \u201cDNS Monitor\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the domain and the specific record(s) you\u2019d like to track<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose your alert preferences &#8211; and that\u2019s it!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You can monitor specific record types or all DNS records for a domain, and tailor your alerts based on what matters most to your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls preload=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/uptimerobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DNS-monitoring.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Available on Solo, Team, and Enterprise plans<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DNS Monitoring is available starting today on <strong>Solo, Team, and Enterprise plans<\/strong>. Free and Legacy users can continue using UptimeRobot\u2019s core monitoring features, while these paid plans unlock advanced capabilities &#8211; including DNS monitoring for better security and uptime assurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re continuously working to improve how you monitor and safeguard your online presence.
