The record
The watching is the part everyone offers. The record is the part nobody keeps, and it is the reason this exists.
We apply the same rule to ourselves, which is why our own record started at one day.
The distinction is examined at length in a monitor tells you now, a record tells you when.
What gets kept
| What | Why it matters later |
|---|---|
| Verification duration | How long the position has held without a gap. The one number that cannot be bought, backdated or transferred, and the reason a competitor cannot match a long-standing record. |
| First-seen dates | When each fact first appeared. Answers how long you have used a provider, which comes up in renewals, audits and disputes. |
| Previous values | What a setting was before someone changed it. Often the only surviving copy, and the fastest route back when a change breaks something. |
| Infrastructure lineage | Every certificate issued, every registrar transfer, every nameserver and mail provider change, in order and dated. |
| Page snapshots | What your pricing, terms and service pages said on a given date. Useful when a customer remembers it differently. |
| Access history | When your published record was opened by someone outside the business, so you know it is actually being read. |
How the sealing works
Each verification is written with a timestamp and a hash. That hash includes the hash of the entry before it, so every entry depends on the entire history that came before. Change any earlier entry and every hash after it stops matching.
This matters for a specific reason. A record that can be edited after the fact proves nothing, because the obvious question from anyone relying on it is whether the inconvenient parts were removed. A sealed chain answers that without anyone having to trust us.
You can export the chain at any time and verify it independently. We would rather you did not have to take our word for it.
No personal data, no credentials, no access to any of your systems. Everything held here is a public fact about a domain, of the kind anyone can look up. We keep the history of those facts, not access to your accounts.
That is a deliberate limit. It keeps us out of your security review, and it means a breach here would expose nothing that was not already public.
The published page
Every record comes with a page you can share. It shows what is watched, what is verified, and how far back the history runs. It is generated the day you start and updates itself.
Put it in proposals and quotes. It shows the business is looked after by someone, which is not something most competitors can demonstrate.
Answers the basic vendor questions without anyone assembling documentation, and does it from a source the other side can check themselves.
When the person who set all this up leaves, the record is the handover. It is the one document nobody has to remember to write.
This is an illustration of what a record looks like after three years, not a customer. Nothing here can be backdated, which is the whole point — so our own record shows the real number, counting from the day we started.
It stops where your payment stops, and the published page shows the gap rather than hiding it. That is what makes continuous verification mean anything. You can export everything before you go, and we keep it readable for thirty days at no charge.
No, and neither can anyone else. That is the point. A record can only prove what it actually observed, so it begins the day you begin. This is also why waiting has a cost that cannot be recovered.
Yes by default, because it is meant to be shared. You can turn it off entirely, and on the top plan you can host it on your own subdomain so it reads as part of your site rather than ours.
We correct forward rather than editing backward. A correction is a new entry that supersedes the old one, and both remain visible. A record that can be silently rewritten is not evidence.
There is no way to get back a month you did not keep, which is the only real argument for starting now rather than later.
