Businesses using free DNS lack enterprise-grade monitoring. Unexpected outages can take hours to detect without paid monitoring solutions.
Create a simple status dashboard that pings DNS records from multiple global locations. Email/SMS alerts would notify users of resolution failures or latency spikes.
Small businesses would pay a small monthly fee for basic monitoring of their critical DNS infrastructure.
Start with a single-region checker that tests a predefined list of record types.
The risk is free DNS providers improving their own status pages, making this redundant.
