How do you keep track of your domains?

[dewd]

was wondering how all of you keep track of your domains?


do you keep a list in excell, a access database? or do you use a script ?

i have been keeping mine in a excell database and its getting too big/messy


was wondering what all of you use to keep track of all your domains.

Why don't you just transfer them to one place and then you can easily keep track of them just by loggin gin

i dont liek that, due to the fact i have too many of them and it would cost me my left nut to do that, and by spreading them out its more secure, im only at the major registars,..if someone got into your account u may be able to cope with a small loss, but not the loss of every domain u own, but that indeed is a great idea and i tryed to keep them all at the same place when i started domains.

Well I don't have enough domains to be worried about but I know that if I did I would probably keep in a script, because I like to use scripts plus the fact I already have one made up

I have all of them at godaddy. So just logging into my account helps me to keep track of domains. I have some scattered here and there but right now I am not paying much attention towards them.

I keep all my domains in an excel spreadsheet.

Just at one registar so I can just login and check it out.

I keep them listed in the ole mind upstairs (and subsequently forget them all the time) so I have a nice list on my desktop in word format. I'm thinking of upgrading to Excel but laziness is certainly a factor.

IMO an Excel file could do, a MS-Access DB would be more appropriate.
Some people already have a website for the purpose of listings their names and store everything in mySQL db, with search form in PHP etc. (check my sig :hehe: )

I try moving them all in 2 registars, Namepros and Domainsite! That's all!

Good question. I have them regged all over the place and often come across ones I had forgot about :td:


Will have a sort out in the new year

I use Watch My Domains Pro. Not the greatest, but it works. I believe there are a few other programs available.

If you know how to work in MS Access and are able to make a nice interface that's the best option. I started using Access myself, but now I'm using MS Excel.

Every now and then I have to add a column for some interesting information I'd like to store. That's way more easy in Excel. If you have implemented a nice interface in Access and have to add something to the DB you'll have to spend some hours rebuilding the interface.

Before spending hours to list every domain in Excel you must think about what kind of information you are interested in saving:

Domain ID
Domain
Extension
Expires
Registrar
User name
Password
Hand reg/Drop/Buy
Money spent buying/regging
Money spent renewing
Money spent marketing
Sold?
Money received when sold
Offer received
Offer received from?
When bought?
Parked/Site/whatever it resolves
Parking income/Adsense income
...and so on...

Most important is: learn how to use excel! how to sort lists, how to do a search, how to replace, how to add together text, how to split text, how to make macros..

Make yourself a sheet for Adm. Total spent on domains, a total of .com domains, total of .net domains and so on, a total of income, net income.

I'm keeping track of app. 1.600 domains in my excel sheet and everything runs smoothly! :tu:

Make backups!!!

I also keep a print of all my account user names/password just in case I pass away, ends up in a hospital or whatever. I also have listed contact information for some of my "online domain brothers" in the region. Just so my relatives can pay for renewals, sell my domains and/or get some advices from someone inside the business.

I use sedo, even if they are not parked there I add the domain as soon as it is regged. Sedo has handy portfolio features, like spreadsheet exports, searches etc.

Nice columns, not to be left though.

I keep all my domains in an excel spreadsheet.

i was going to say that...Excel is excellent

 

[martialtiger]

I developed a quick and simple Access DB. I am going to do a whole new one with more features once I have more time. Also I still tend to like to have a paper trail and will be making a filing/binder system.

I am attaching the original MS Access DB for free use. If anyone is interested in the Binder system or newer version later, just PM so I can email them to you when they are completed.

Best wishes!
