Purpose-built where others have patched
Most monitoring tools started with uptime and tacked on DNS and white-label later. Aideworks designed DNS change diffing, client portfolio management, and white-label branding from day one — at a price where most competitors offer none of it.
Built for
Web & digital agencies
Managing SSL, DNS and uptime across a portfolio of client websites.
Managed service providers
Proactive domain health monitoring for every client under contract.
Web hosters & registrars
Automated checks across hundreds of hosted domains at scale.
Enterprise IT teams
Centralised monitoring of owned domains with audit trails and mandatory MFA.
Not the right fit: If you're monitoring a single personal website or hobby project, simpler free tools serve that use case well. Aideworks is designed from the ground up for teams managing domains on behalf of multiple clients or within larger organisations.
Six things only Aideworks does
Capabilities unavailable in any alternative at this price point.
DNS diff engine
Record-level DNS change detection with before/after diffs. No alternative tracks which specific record changed, when, and what it changed to.
Built for client-facing teams
Every feature is designed around managing domains on behalf of clients — not a single personal website. Multi-client views, per-domain alert routing, and company-level grouping are core, not add-ons.
Client portfolio CRM
Group domains by client company, store contact details, and route alerts per contact. No competitor has a structured client layer.
Configurable status codes
Define any HTTP status code as "healthy" per monitor — 204, 401, 503. Other tools treat any non-2xx response as a failure.
Multi-port SSL checks
SSL certificates aren't just on port 443. Aideworks checks SMTP (465/587), IMAP (993), FTP and any custom TCP port.
Auto subdomain discovery
Aideworks learns subdomain prefixes from two live sources: Certificate Transparency logs (new certs surfacing vpn.client.com the moment they’re issued) and from SANs parsed during every cert check. New attack surface is probed automatically — zero config.
