New website · free check

Your site is live. Let's finish your domain setup.

Launching the site is the part everyone sees. Behind it, a few settings, mostly about email, are usually still unset on day one. One free scan shows which ones, in plain words, with the exact record to add for each.

Usually left after launch

  • Your site loads at your domain

    Done. This is the part you can see.

  • Email from your domain reaches the inbox

    A new domain often has no sender records yet, so mail you send can land in spam or bounce.

    Free scan

  • Your contact form and newsletter send as you

    Each service that sends email with your address has to be named in your domain's records, or receivers can't tell the mail is really yours.

    Email test

  • Your domain and SSL certificate renew on time

    If either one lapses, the site stops loading and mail stops arriving. The scan shows both dates.

    Free scan

  • Your records stay the way you set them

    Connecting a site builder, a shop or a new email tool can add or replace records along the way.

    Monitor

  • You hear about it when the site goes down

    Nobody tells you a site stopped loading unless something is checking it.

Scan your domain

Enter the domain your site lives on. The scan only reads public records: nothing is sent to your domain and nothing is changed. No signup.

Step 1 · Free scan

What the scan tells you

Will my email land in the inbox?

Gmail, Outlook and other mail providers look up three records before they trust a message from your domain. The scan reads all three:

  • SPF is the list of services allowed to send email for your domain.
  • DKIM is a signature your email service adds, so a receiver can tell a message really came from it.
  • DMARC tells receivers what to do with mail that fails those checks, and where to send reports about it.

Can my domain receive email?

Your MX records name the service that receives mail for your domain. With none, nobody can email you at it, which is fine only if you never want mail there.

Is my domain on a blacklist?

Your mail servers are checked against reputable blacklists. An unclear answer is shown as not checked, never as a listing.

When do my domain and certificate expire?

The renewal date from the registry and the expiry date of your site's SSL certificate.

Is anything else worth adding?

Optional security extras for your DNS and mail. Missing ones are listed as optional, never as a problem.

For anything that needs fixing you get a short explanation and the exact record to paste at your domain provider (where you bought the domain, or your site builder's domain settings). You publish every record yourself. The records are built and checked by code, never by AI.

Step 2 · Email test

Then send one real email

The scan reads your records. The email test shows what happens to an actual message. We give you an address, you send one email to it, from your own mailbox or from your contact form or newsletter tool, and you see how that message was checked, scored out of 10. Free, no account.

After setup · Monitor

Once it's set up, keep it that way

A live site keeps changing. You add a shop, a booking tool or a newsletter, and each one can touch your records. Monitor checks your domain every day and emails you when something needs you.

  • Your site checked every 5 minutes, with an email when it goes down and when it's back
  • An alert when a record changes, or a check that was passing starts failing
  • Reminders before your domain and SSL certificate expire
  • Reports from Gmail, Outlook and others: every service sending as you, and whether its mail passes
  • The next, stricter DMARC setting once those reports show it's safe
