Keep an eye on your domains, not just your pages

better-web.eu does more than measure how good a website is. For verified domains it checks the DNS records every day, keeps a change log, holds a backup ready and manages registrar, term and cost in one place.

DNS monitoring

Once a day the A, AAAA, MX, NS, SOA, TXT and CAA records are queried, along with DMARC and the common DKIM selectors, and compared against the last known state.

Why this matters

A changed NS or MX line is the first visible step of a domain takeover or a redirected mail flow. Noticing it when the site is already gone costs days.

Change history

Every detected change becomes an entry with its timestamp and a side-by-side view: what came, what went. Days without a change produce no entry at all.

Why this matters

Months later you can still answer when a record disappeared and what stood there before — without anyone having had to remember to write it down.

DNS backup and export

Every state can be downloaded as a BIND zone file, as JSON or as CSV — TTLs included, so the file is usable straight away at a registrar that offers a zone import.

Why this matters

Whoever empties a zone by accident or moves provider does not need a memory, they need a file. The zone file is exactly that.

Registrar, term and cost

Registrar, registration and expiry date are fetched from the registry over RDAP wherever it publishes them. Price, billing cycle, automatic renewal and notes are yours to enter.

Why this matters

A warning arrives 30 days before expiry — early enough for a transfer, which needs an auth code and two registrars. And the overview shows what all domains together cost per year.

What this does not do

better-web.eu reads DNS through public resolvers and writes nothing back. There is no connection to your registrar and no one-click restore: monitoring, log and export — putting the records back stays with you and your provider.
