Consolidating Domains at One Registrar – and Keeping Track

[MarkP]

Hi all,

First thanks for this great resource that you all have contributed to!

I’ve been acquiring niche market domains through SnapNames, Pool, Tdnam, Afternic, etc. As a result I’m ending up with domains scattered at many different registrars and resellers, with just as many different automatically assigned passwords. All of which can’t be transferred to my primary registrar (GoDaddy) for 60 days.

My question is, for those of you with decent size portfolios, how do you keep track of everything – locations, transfer dates, passwords, etc??? I guess I could build a spread sheet with all of the data, but I’m just wondering what others have done. Secondly, is there an efficient way to manage all of the transfers, or is it just one at a time?

Thanks a bunch,

Mark

I keep a note book with names, passwords, registrars, and all use the same email address. I also slowly move them to a main registrars.

I use an excel spreadsheet and keep the same e-mail as Johname said, it's the easiest way to sort and manage. Eventually you can try to get them in the same place, but it will take time and unfortunately transferring them to a new registrar.

Spreadsheet is straight forward domain name management. In addition to that, I've used folder tool courtesy by Enom where I can categorize my domains by parking service and development.

Hope this help.

Hi!

Thanks for the recommendation. Our tool, while still in Beta, is very powerful and can help manage your domain names.

While in beta it's 100% free. Feel free to go in, upload or pull down your domain names, and kick the tires a bit. If you have any questions feel free to PM me or to email us.

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that you can manage all domains using rebel.com as well. You can categorize it, even the domains was registered from other registrar. This is what I used to monitor my other domains outside needname.com/enom registrar.

They are in the business for years already. You don't want to be in any beta environment and wasting your time. You have better things to do in domain business.
