How do you manage your domain names??

[Domainace]

Or do you?

I don't have all that many, but I find it increasingly difficult to keep track of what I own, where I have it regged, when it expires, whether it's pointed at the right nameservers, etc.

And since I am looking for ideas on how to manage this, I would like the ability to rearrange my list of domains on demand by certain criteria, such as extension, length of domain (LLL, LLLL), expiration date, registrars, etc.

How do others handle this? Is there an easy software fix out there?

I just found this thread which is helpful. If anyone has anything new to add, I'd love to hear it, though.

I have simply consolidated and now maintain all domains ... should soon have the list < 100 ... at two registrars (which will then be only ONE registrar by this summer), IMHO. I've found that this consolidation and ease of management saves time and energies rather than trying to locate notes, lists, usernames, passwords, "push" procedures, DNS, etc. :gl:

All the best!

Everything on an excel file. Works great.

Domain parking is a good idea if you want to manage many domain because you will be making money while your domain is waiting to be sold.

yep, I use excel too. That part about "private" is important. I occasionally think about writing my own software, and then decide that having a life is more important so revert to excel.

I keep the ascii domains and IDN/foreign language domains on separate sheets since they need different fields. And of course having a bunch of IDN mixed with ascii is hard on the eyes when all on one page.

I prefer Excel because it gives you the ability to manipulate the data the way you want.
I tried some of the solutions that Domainace mentioned in his first post but returned to excel again.

Excel for myself too.

 

[domain_name]

have my own web based analysis & tracking tool .
pulls out all the domains which have got registered thru different providers in excel
pulls out all the reports from websites where the domains are parked / hosted

export them to access and uplaod it to my panel to generate the details.
over all access + excel > ASP/HTML

That sounds like a pretty neat setup, being able to access the info online.

Care to share the script? :o

Some diverse answers. In the interest of economy, maybe it's worth a few hours of time to learn some new tricks on Excel. Thanks.

I prefer using an excel file rather then using anyking of softwre for the domain management . We can keep track of the all the details regarding to the domain we needed.

Domain Name Portfolio

What is Domain Name Portfolio?

Domain Name Portfolio is a FREE PHP and MySQL based application to help domain owners better organize their portfolio. It allows you to list your domains with their expiry, registrar, price, status, and category. Also allows visitors to your portfolio to contact you about a given domain.

Anyone cares to share their .xls file with us? Of course, without your domains and info -- I'd just like to see the pattern. I'm not that good with Excel... That's why I'm asking.

Thanks.

I maintain an excel file on Google documents.
I save it to my disk regularly.

I also have them all with domaintools monitoring service.
