We have clients with many registered domains of which only one or two are used for websites, more for email and sometimes several just purchased for safekeeping.
Would be good to have DNS monitored with historical history so changes can be viewed.

Andrew H.: I agree, change management for DNS would be nice.

Andrew H.: I assumed that is already in place? If not, it's not complete in my opinion.

Since the update to 2.0.8, you can do this. Just add the domain-name under websites and then disable website monitoring since there is no website associated with the domain-name. This will still allow you to track expiration and such.

I know there are a few similar ideas - it would be great if the website tool was changed completely to be a domain tool, then, the ability to add subdomains and turn the different elements (SSL/Uptime etc.) on/off easily. It seems to work well at the moment, but, still needs https when adding and then I always have the brain fart of "should I add www/no www" etc. - we should just be able to add without anything and add www as the alias/sub domain…

William H.: Completely agree. The functionality is there, it just needs some very minor tweaking

I had this feature in our old doc system, it is one thing I will surely miss. Hoping we can see something like this in Hudu.

Would it be possible that we can do the following?
Rename websites to domain names
Have a couple of check boxes under the configuration that we can enable a) HTTP monitoring and b) https monitoring
Remove the need for the https:// portion when adding a "Domain", providing that the previous 2 points are implemented.
This way we can have assets for domains that may not neccessarily have a website.

Was just going to create a similar request and found this one. Thanks search! Domain names are not web sites. Granted, we can simulate the need to track only certain aspects of a website record by unchecking the options, but finding a better way to differentiate them would make entering records easier for engineers. Perhaps a separate asset type for domain names with only whois check as an option. Then when you create a website asset Hudu could look up domains that are documented and present relevant information in the website record. Also, wish we could add fields to the canned website asset type.
