What is Vacato?
Vacato is a domain availability monitoring service. Add domains to your watchlist and receive alerts via email, browser push, Telegram, Slack, Discord, or webhook after a check sees them available.
How much does Vacato cost?
Vacato offers a free plan for up to 5 domains with 5-minute checks. Pro is $7/month for 100 domains with 1-minute checks. Business is $19/month for 500 domains. Enterprise plans are available on request.
How often does Vacato check domain availability?
Free accounts are checked every 5 minutes. Pro and Business plans receive checks every minute for faster drop detection.
Can I track any domain extension?
Yes. Vacato supports hundreds of TLDs including .com, .io, .co, .dev, .app, .ai, and country-code domains.
What notification channels does Vacato support?
Vacato sends alerts via email, browser push, and Telegram on all plans. Pro and Business plans also support Slack, Discord, and custom webhooks.
Is Vacato free to start?
Yes. The free plan includes 5 domain slots, 5-minute checks, and email, push, and Telegram notifications. No credit card required.
How is Vacato different from a domain backorder?
Backorders bid on expiring domains through a registrar and often cost $10–70+ per name. Vacato watches any domain on your list and alerts you when it opens — you register it yourself at normal registrar pricing.
Does Vacato register domains for me?
No. Vacato monitors availability and sends alerts. You register domains at any registrar you choose.
