Domain.io - The Portfolio Dashboard (Official Thread)

[aoxborrow]

Hello Domain Pros!

For the past year I have been building Domain.io to be the portfolio management tool I always wanted. My portfolio is only around 400 domains but it was such a mess, strewn across so many registrars and marketplaces. I wanted to manage all my pricing in one place, a single source of truth, and I wanted my ALL my verification TXT records to be automatically added with one set of nameservers. Whether you use the nameservers and landers or not, Domain.io is gonna help you reach maximum exposure for your portfolio.

When I first brought my entire portfolio together into Domain.io, I was surprised to see that less than 50% was actually listed on all three of Afternic/Sedo/Dan. I knew I had been lazy about updating listings, but I had no idea how bad it was. Now I am at 92% listed for each market, and November and December have been my best months ever by far. Below is what I did to get there.

1. First I went to every domain registrar where I own names and exported a list of all my names. This ensures my initial working list is 100% clean and up to date with no expired or sold domains. Optional: While I was logged into each registrar I also set the nameservers for all my domains to ns1.domain.io and ns2.domain.io, so I can use the Domain.io landers and Bulk DNS.

2. Once I had gathered all my registrar export files, I just imported them directly into Domain.io, one after another. If you click the big "Add Domains" button there is a "Bulk Importer" option. From there you can import just about any spreadsheet -- I have tested with dozens of registrars and marketplaces. Once all my domains were in Domain.io I carefully went through and set BIN and minimum offer prices.

3. Now with my freshly updated portfolio I was ready to hit the aftermarkets. On the Domain.io Markets page, there are three separate Export buttons, each specifically tailored for Afternic, Sedo, and Dan. I exported a fresh file for each market and promptly wiped all my accounts entirely clean. I highly recommend this, it felt great! There were so many long gone, expired, poorly priced, and sold domains in my accounts, it would have taken weeks to sort them all out. I uploaded the fresh new spreadsheets to each of Afternic, Sedo, and Dan. If you don't want to wipe your account clean, be sure to use the "reconcile" options when uploading your portfolio. Because my domains were using Domain.io nameservers with TXT verification configured, they were all verified quickly. It is of course easy to monitor your listing status from within the Domain.io dashboard.

Domain.io can do a lot more, but this core benefit of getting my portfolio fully syndicated with consistent pricing has been the biggest difference maker so far.

Some other fun features are:

Seriously Awesome Bulk Management Tools
Whether it's 20 or 20,000 domains you are updating, Domain.io can handle it.

Ridiculously Configurable Payment Options
You can configure your BIN and contact buttons exactly how you want them using button rules and custom fields. Our Dan.com integration means 5% commission on BIN checkouts directly from the lander.

HOW ABOUT ALL THE BUTTONS SIR? (not recommended!)

We're just getting started. Try Domain.io free for 30 days, no credit card required, and let me know what you think!!

 

[CodingTheDomain]

New additions the last few days, thanks for the tip, will PM

Last week it was just taking a few hours

I was seriously looking at this platform for portfolio management

Will also give Efty a try, I don't want visitors visiting landers without ssl as this gets flagged in some browsers

Are there people using domain.io? Have you sold domain names using "Buy with Dan.com" button? I am a new member of domain.io and I am now parking all my domain names there. I was curious if this worked for other domainers. Here what my landing page looks like: cepm.eu . Let me know if you have any suggestions.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

Totally gnarly dude. I see the column showing where the domain is parked is starting to populate.
Not picking up on the .ca yet.
Online column, I guess your system runs a check ever so often. once per 24 hours
I really would like to see the domains column stationary , so when I scroll right to see all the columns, even as far as nameservers, I cant see the domain name. High priority with so many columns
Template, says use bulk for existing domains. There is still only 1 template and another member and i had a vote and its unanomous, need more customization background colors or add image.
I did add a logo to a lander today, I remember sizing issues before but it looks as sweet as it tasted

Site: domain name search at google is 10/10
I counted how many letters google puts in description, and nailed that perfectly with the body/description area content I can add in bulk or individually for each name.

Tried to manually refresh a .ca to see if parking spots would fill up. Nope. Says last checked one week
Tried with .xyz manual refresh did work, last checked 8s ago
One .ca is still running its course, but i do see redirects for .ca working, not all.

Well... I could have saved us a lot of time by checking the box next to domains, highlighting the entire list and doing a bulk refresh dns. That filled in all the blanks i think, the scrolling right and left all the time making me a tad dizzy so close shop for the night and see how nice and shiny it looks in the morning.
More high quality search engine optimized original content by the master himself I hope this helps

I'm having a few minor issues with domain.io so I submitted several help requests yesterday. What's the turnaround time like these days?

 

[Dane]

I replied to everything, let me know if you have more details on the Captcha issue, I am not able to reproduce.

Thank you! I have replied back with details.

 

[Dane]

Anyone know how to download all domains within our Domain.io account WITH the pricing from Afternic INCLUDED in the spreadsheet? I'm trying to align pricing to be the same on both Afternic and Dan. When I download a CSV it does not include the column with Afternic prices. How is that done?

 

[CodingTheDomain]

Landing pages look down at the moment

Update: Was down for me for about 20 mins, but seems back now

 

[Dane]

Anything new here? Any updates?

 

[Dane]

Any plans to allow users to create their own Marketplace where we can list all of our names for sale and break them down by category?

 

[Dane]

Hey, does Domain.io have visitor traffic stats? If not, could it?

 

[D Haynes]

Sorry if this has been asked before...

Is there an option to have your own marketplace and set a custom domain to host it? Efty gives you this option although is considerably more expensive.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

Getting bit off topic. @sircc your talking efty or domain.io?
Domain.io doesnt take paypal. More economical, efty is one big bite
I see efty review at bottom of page uses different nameservers.
Hopefully Aaron will find more time to tweek things up

 

[Janoss]

Will Dan still be available to use on the website after September or will the option be going away?

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

That i dont know but I do know daddy is playing games and the godaddy bin button on the landers is mia.again
Also the afternic column showing prices is not populating.

 

[Dane]

So no more 5% commission for sending a sale to Dan, after September? Is that right?

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

I heard somewhere else that there will be a marketplace by months end
Not sure if that is a personal marketplace or just one in general.

Just checking in. Anything new?

 

[Themistocles]

Hey guys. What is the best way to reach the owner? I sent him an email 6 days ago in response to the expiry of my trial period, but has not gotten an answer yet. How long did you guys have to wait for a response?
I am really torn here. As far as I figured it out this is a one-man-show for him and he probably has other stuff to do as well. On the other hand I want to use a tool for my portolio with good conscience knowing that it will stick around and is being cared for.

Hi, can you let me know your email address in DM.

 

[skshogun]

Hi @aoxborrow . What happens after DAN stops their API? Can domain.io still be used as of now for importing the leads to DAN/Afternic?

 

[skshogun]

I don't think they will support the API after September, so no importing leads through it. I am hoping to have alternative payment/transaction solution(s) available to avoid the high commission.

Thanks for the reply. One option I would pay to see is some kind of flow to automate submission to Sedo escrow.
They have an iframe on the webiste to 3rd party form app. Only hassle is that buyer needs to provide their Sedo username.
Perhaps something can be done to prompt buyer to create Sedo account and redirect them back to the form and autofill the details. This would be very nice at 3 % commission.

 

[vravis9]

Hey @aoxborrow what is best way to contact you for some help / clarification...

I sent an email to [email protected] and waiting for a reply.

Thanks.

This is not helping...do you have any time estimation to get back to your service users...

I can understand it's one man company but some sort of automated response should be provided with mention of tentative time to get back to customer...!

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

Ya right. The above statement is false
Not gonna go into details otherwise we would have big butt hurt.
True anyone could list and maybe drop listers are using domain.io
One of my 3 recent drops did get picked up so I deleted it.
Give Aaron a chance to come on and he will fix the old listing issue.
Put a bin on your dan landers

 

[Charybdis]

do you think it needs more works : https://prnt.sc/04nG8EBK6OTZ

What do you mean by that?

Google doesn't want me to pay $28,850 for a domain. On Google you just want to perform free searches.

But when you are asking $28,850 for a domain name, then I think you need a little bit better landing page.
