Domain Management Software

[Jack]

Once you reach "x" domains in "y" registrars software quickly become necessary to manage a portfolio.
Being able to have one central place where all info is stored can save a lot of time and reduce the risk for errors (dropping domains, outdated/incorrect whois or DNS info).
I'm currently looking at this as an option https://watchmy.domains. Does anyone use them?, can you recommend alternative option?

Watch My Domains is very useful for the major TLD's but is limited in its functionality for .au unfortunately - expiry dates is the main issue, as is whois query limits from memory.

As far as I know there's no equivalent that works with au - if there are any recommendations I'd be interested too.

Yep, great software but problematic for .au domains unfortunately. Now that my portfolio is mostly .com.au rather than .com as was the case in the past, I've switched back to using a spreadsheet.

Keep an eye out for Uniregistry. They are now an accredited registrar here in Australia, and will be officially launching very soon. As I understand it, they will cater for .au. If so, when combined with Domain Name Sales platform, this will take some beating

I'm meeting with them at NamesCon, and will let you know the outcome.

Chris also put together an overview of what's available on the market:

It covers most of the main tools I've seen:

I've used WatchMy.Domains SED version. It's probably the most comprehensive web application on the market, useful if you're looking at building your own system, and has some great features such as being able to organise domains into categories, and having all of the relevant details of each domain easily found under tabs.

As others have mentioned, most of these tools have the same problem with au's.

There are a lot of users here who have their own custom systems, for me a spreadsheet is still my pick too

Received an email from uniregistry this morning bout some event with Frank Schilling - I'm assuming it is about their launch.
