All your domains. One interface.
happyDomain brings every DNS zone you manage (across registrars, providers and self-hosted name servers) into one calm space, clearly organized by service.
Online version closed, beta access only
happyDomain is evolving: soon, continuously test your domains' security and monitor every service exposed through DNS, with zero configuration. We're rolling out this new version progressively to gather feedback and deliver the best possible service. Learn more.
Deep checks on everything your domain exposes
The moment a domain joins happyDomain, our checkers start inspecting it from the outside, exactly as the rest of the world sees it. From the registration down to each live service, every layer is covered.
Your registration
Expiration date, transfer lock, registrar status: the administrative side of your domain, watched continuously.
Your DNS zone
DNSSEC validity, delegation consistency, server response: the technical foundation, verified end to end.
Your live services
Websites, certificates, mail: every service your domain points to, probed like a real visitor would.
Dangling records: the takeover nobody sees coming
When a CNAME, MX, NS or SRV record keeps pointing at a resource you no longer control (a decommissioned SaaS, an expired domain, a mistyped name server), anyone can claim that target and publish content, intercept mail or obtain valid certificates under your name.
It is not a theoretical risk. The reference study on the topic, presented at ACM CCS 2016, found 467 exploitable dangling records across 277 of the Alexa top 10,000 domains and 52 .edu zones. Since then, top universities have been caught serving porn through forgotten CNAMEs (April 2026), and a typo in one of MasterCard's name servers went unnoticed for nearly five years (January 2025). happyDomain's dangling-records checker walks every pointer in your zone, resolves its target and verifies its registration, so these forgotten records surface before someone else finds them.

Show me the API!happyDomain is functional but still very much a work in progress: it's a carefully crafted proof of concept that evolves thanks to your feedbacks!
Given the diversity of DNS configurations and user needs, we haven't yet identified all the bugs. If something doesn't work, please don't leave: tell us what's wrong. We're highly responsive and each reported bug helps us improve the tool for everyone.
Whether it works for you or not, we need your feedback! What do you think of our approach to simplifying domain name management? Your impressions at this stage help us guide the project according to your actual expectations.
