Why look-alike domains matter

  • What a look-alike is

    A domain registered to resemble a real one, using a typo, a swapped character, an added word or another ending.

  • How they are used

    Look-alikes host fake login pages and send fake invoices, because a quick glance at the address does not catch the difference.

  • What this check covers

    The 36 imitations people mistype or misread most, checked live for registration.

  • What a watch adds

    A watch checks look-alike variations of your domain on a regular schedule and alerts you with the domain, the reason it matched and its risk.

  • A registered look-alike is not always malicious. It may be parked or owned by someone unrelated, so look at it before you act.
  • CertPing detects look-alikes and alerts you. It does not block them or take them down.

Look-alike domain checker questions

Something else? Talk to us.
01Is the look-alike checker free?

Yes. The check is free and needs no account. An ongoing watch is part of a Domain Security bundle, and your first bundle is free.

02Is every registered look-alike a threat?

No. Many are parked or belong to someone with a similar name. Treat one as a risk when it shows a login page, copies your brand or sends email.

03Can CertPing take a look-alike down?

No. CertPing detects look-alikes and alerts you. Takedowns go through the domain's registrar or host, or through legal action.

04How is the watch different from this check?

This check looks at the most common imitations once. The watch checks look-alike variations of your domain on a regular schedule and alerts you when one is registered.

05What does the watch cost?

Your first Domain Security bundle is free. Each additional bundle is $9 a month on Autopilot, billed only while it's on.
