Terms of Service
Effective April 18, 2026. Written in plain English because you deserve to understand what you’re agreeing to.
1. The short version
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).
2. Who we are
“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.
3. What DNS.pizza does
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.
4. Your account
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.
5. Free and Pro plans
Free plan: limited daily lookups, up to 5 monitored domains, daily check intervals, email-only alerts. Pro plan: unlimited lookups, unlimited monitored domains, 5-min check intervals, webhook / Slack / Discord channels, more advanced security analysis.
Pro 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.
6. Acceptable use
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.
7. Your content and data
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).
8. Third-party data
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.
9. Alerts and monitoring
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.
10. Uptime and changes to the service
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.
11. Disclaimers and liability
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.
12. Termination
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.
13. Governing law and disputes
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.
14. Changes to these terms
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.
15. Contact
Questions, concerns, abuse reports: email hello@dns.pizza. We read every message and we’re friendly.
