A strategy is described for alerting a user when an Internet domain becomes active. The strategy includes receiving a domain change request and logging this request in a domain table. The domain change request can instruct a registrar to create a new domain, or modify an existing domain (such as by transferring or re-delegating an existing domain). Monitoring logic is configured to use the domain table to perform periodic checks to determine whether the domain has become active. If the domain has become active, notification logic is configured to send a recipient a message which alerts the recipient to the activation of the Internet domain. The notification logic can send this message using electronic mail or some other communication mechanism.
