Terms of Service

DNS.pizza is a DNS lookup, analysis, and monitoring tool. You can use it to look up domain information and to get alerts when DNS records change. Don’t use it to attack or spy on people. We’ll do our best to keep it running, but we can’t promise it’s perfect. If something goes wrong and costs you money, our liability is limited to what you’ve paid us (or $50 if you’re on the free plan).

“DNS.pizza,” “we,” and “us” refer to the service operated at https://dns.pizza. “You” means the person or organization using the service. By accessing the site or creating an account, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.

We run DNS lookups, WHOIS/RDAP queries, SSL checks, email authentication analysis, and similar domain intelligence. We can also watch a domain you add and email / webhook you when its DNS records change.

Features include DNS record lookups (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, CAA), WHOIS/RDAP registration data, SSL certificate inspection, security scoring, DNSSEC validation, email authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), blacklist checks, typosquatting detection, subdomain discovery, tech stack detection, Wayback Machine history, propagation testing, and continuous DNS change monitoring with configurable alerts.

Sign in with email + password or with Google / GitHub. Keep your credentials private. If you suspect your account has been compromised, email us.

You must be at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country — 16 in much of Europe). You’re responsible for activity that happens under your account. If you give someone else access, you’re responsible for what they do.

Free plan: limited daily lookups, up to 50 monitors, 5-minute uptime checks with daily check intervals for other monitor types, email-only alerts. Paid plans (Starter, Pro, Business) add faster check intervals, more monitors and monitor types, more alert channels, and longer data history. Current limits are on the pricing page.

Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or yearly via Stripe. Prices are listed on our pricing page. You can cancel at any time from the billing settings; cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. Because DNS.pizza is digital and delivered immediately, we don’t offer automatic refunds, but write to us if something feels wrong and we’ll try to make it right.

Don’t attack, abuse, or spam. Don’t try to extract data you aren’t entitled to. Don’t resell DNS.pizza as if it were your own service without permission.

Specifically, you agree not to:

• Use DNS.pizza to scan, probe, or attack infrastructure you don’t own or have explicit permission to test.
• Circumvent rate limits, plan caps, or authentication.
• Submit forged, malicious, or misleading data to the service (including webhooks that target systems you don’t control).
• Resell or repackage the service without a written agreement with us.
• Use the service to harass, dox, or surveil individuals.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules. Serious violations (e.g. using our infrastructure to attack others) may be reported to the relevant authorities.

The domains you monitor, the alerts they generate, and any API keys you configure all belong to you. We store that data so the service works. We don’t sell it. We do share it with the service providers we need to run the product (listed in our privacy policy).

You grant us a limited license to process your data so we can operate the service: run DNS queries, store snapshots, send alerts, and show you your dashboard. You can delete your data at any time by removing a monitored domain or by closing your account (see our Privacy Policy).

DNS.pizza surfaces data from third-party systems (DNS resolvers, registrars via RDAP/WHOIS, the Internet Archive, certificate transparency logs, blacklists, etc.). We don’t control that data and can’t guarantee it is accurate, complete, or up-to-date. Use it with judgment.

We do our best to deliver DNS change alerts promptly, but we can’t guarantee delivery. If you rely on alerts for safety- or security-critical systems, add your own redundant monitoring.

Alerts depend on: third-party DNS resolvers returning timely data, your email/Slack/webhook receivers accepting our deliveries, and our own infrastructure being up. A missed or delayed alert is not a reason to sue us — see section 11.

We aim for high availability but don’t commit to a specific uptime SLA. We may add, change, or remove features at any time, with notice when the change is significant. If a paid feature you rely on is removed, we’ll refund the unused portion of your subscription on request.

DNS.pizza is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.

To the maximum extent allowed by law, our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of (a) what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) US$50.

The newborn-domain pages, the /api/zone endpoints, the partner zone-intel endpoint and the “zone census” card on domain reports publish the output of an automated daily census of DNS zone files and an automated risk scorer. A domain appears in a flagged list because heuristics matched its name, its registration or nameserver infrastructure, or the page it served on the day it appeared. Where a machine-learning model has reviewed a page, its output is shown as an opinion with a stated confidence.

These are possibilities, not findings. Nothing on those pages or in those responses states, and nothing should be read as stating, that a domain, its registrant, its registrar or its hosting provider is engaged in phishing, fraud or any other wrongdoing. Heuristics and models are wrong some of the time: a place name can match a brand, a company can use its own brand in its own domain, a template can resemble a login page. You are responsible for looking at the evidence shown and for any decision you make on the basis of it, and you must not rely on a listing as the sole basis for blocking, reporting, or taking action against a domain or a person.

If you own or represent a listed domain and believe a listing is wrong, use the dispute form. A person reviews every dispute. Pages that name a specific flagged domain are marked not to be indexed by search engines and do not link to the domain. Lists and evidence pages are derived from zone data obtained under ICANN's Centralized Zone Data Service and registry zone-file access agreements; we publish derived statistics and a curated set of names with the evidence that flagged them, never the zone files themselves.

What you may do with this data. The zone file access agreements under which we obtain this data require us to pass their use restrictions on to you. By using the newborn-domain pages, the /api/zone endpoints, the MCP tools or the partner zone-intel endpoint you agree that you will not use any domain name or data obtained from them to allow, enable or otherwise support marketing activities of any kind, in any medium (including email, telephone, fax, postal mail, SMS and push notifications), nor to run high-volume automated queries against any registry or ICANN-accredited registrar, nor to interrupt, disrupt or interfere with the normal business of any registrant. You may not attempt to extract a substantial portion of any zone from these surfaces; they are a curated, capped view, not a copy of the zone. Access may be withdrawn for breach.

Plain English: the flagged lists are a heads-up, not a verdict. Look for yourself, tell us if we got it wrong, and never use these names to send anyone unsolicited anything.

You can close your account at any time from the billing settings. We may suspend or close your account if you violate these terms, if we’re required to by law, or if your account has been inactive for a long time. When an account closes, we delete your personal data according to the retention schedule in the privacy policy.

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where DNS.pizza is operated. If there’s a dispute, please email us first — most things get sorted out without lawyers.

We may update these terms occasionally. If we make material changes that affect your use of the service, we’ll email account holders at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after the effective date means you accept the new terms.

Questions, concerns, abuse reports: email hello@dns.pizza. We read every message and we’re friendly.
