How do you organise your domain names?

How do you keep track of all your domain names, folks?

I use excel ATM, but dream of having something like iTunes setup,
where you can rearrange by genre (extension), song length (expiry date) etc, etc......

Anyone know of anything that comes close?

 

[Halobitt]

No anwers?
I guess you all have disorganised folios then

Yes sir!

Notepad and a piece of paper for me. Neither have my full list.
I don't have a very good memory but I usually can manage to remember about 10 of my best names. The rest.... who knows?

I kinda like the surprise when I login to the registrar - "I didn't know I had that one!" or "ooh, I should do something good with that one!"
It keeps me on my toes :hehe:

Try SV's portfolio script - it's pretty decent. http://www.namepros.com/for-sale-advertising-board/189789-domain-name-portfolio-script.html

i just use an excel document but it is very crowded and i forget most of the time to add new names on. Plus i have not put expiry dates on it so it is kinda useless!

A simple text file. I hope I won't need something more powerful than that (I have around 85 domains and I don't plan to have more than 100)

vi to manage 1600+
only update weekly

 

[drakewla]

I use my nameserver's zones definitions

In addition, once a month, I keep an eye on all my registrars Website to figure out what domains will expire soon, and optionally renew them.

I made a MySQL database to maintain them, but never filled it - as usual :hehe:

None of us plan to have more than 100...it just happens.

jhahhaha this is a good one..

I use excel too. With all the expiry dates, renew fees, sold prices and even the buyers or sellers' full names, usernames on NP and contacts.
It is pretty organized. I can see when and what domains are going to expire and if they pay off by PPC.

I use excel as well. I haven't found a program that does well with cctlds. If I only had tlds to worry about, I would use domaintools' domain manager.

i think the only thing that will make me get more organised is when i accidently forget to renew one of my good names - im not gonna let that happen - im gonna go through each name and find the registrar and expiry dates of them before i regret it

This can definitely be done in excel.. I could use something like this also. When I get off of work (if I remember), I'll make a spreadsheet template and post here.

 

[dongan]

I just manage the list in excel document. simple enough.

 

[loscocco]

I used a txt doc to keep track of them. Not the best way but it works for only 50 or so domains

 

[floatingworld]

er just log on to the registrar(s)?

 

[mohawki]

I use Excel's List Manager feature.
Great for finding, sorting, etc.

Organise

Organise? Or, organize (USA) Ha!! What does that mean?? :yell:

I organize my domains, by going to my registrar, logging in, look at my domains, and hit than magic button called "PRINT".

Now, I really get serious, by doing this with each registrar!! Yup, a "list" of domains from 4, maybe even 5, different registrars! Whew, what a bunch of work, I am tired even thinking about it. Maybe 15, 20 pages, by the time I am done. Time for a nap......

Then, to make it all official and stuff, I might staple the sheets into a "package". Kinda, like a resume.
Then, to impress my friends, I might even use a hole punch, and put then in one of those fancy folders from Walmart... you know , like$1.69, or so. I know, I know, too high tech... Next you'll want me to use one of those little flash drive thingys.

:hehe:

I'm not particularly worried about “organizing” my portfolio. Sorting by extension isn't a big thing for me because I only have a handful of names that I don't have the com for. I keep a a few lists of names a text files I can grep, but I only update them a few times a year when I actually want to search through the names for something. As someone else mentioned, the zone files, either your own, or the TLD ones are a great ready reckoner.

I would never rely on an application for expiry date information. I log into each registrar a few times a month and check there. I'm not the slightest bit interested in loosing a $xxK name because the date was typed wrong, US format, etc.

Back in the day I used to have an access database on my notebook with all my domains categorized and what not. It was really impressive to show people but I don't think it ever made me a sale, and it certainly didn't do anything for me.
