I am working towards consolidating with two registrars, moving names out of snapnames and pool registrars and dotster before renewal. I should probably use WMD methodically to regularly check all my domains for security, but won't help much with renewal decisions and sales enquiries which take up the most time. I'm using Watch My Domains Pro just now to check up on my snapnames wins over the past 2 years to try to avoid this happening again.

I strive to have an efficient portfolio of domains that not only sustain themselves, but provide additional income to be financially free! When all the "top tier" names are held at one registrar, then they can become a target.Īll that said, i'm still buying and selling, while trying to reduce some names that are not producing. One registrar, but who wants all their "eggs in one basket".Įven with security and service, there is always an element of "what if". Most domainers may consider reducing quantity, when revenues are not supporting the cast or you have to start selling domains to maintain cash flow.Īnother scenerio is the uncertainty of future increases in renewal fee's which make it difficult to forecast profitability down the road.ĭomains are easier to manage when they are all with When you are making enough revenue to support renewal fee's for your portfolio, without selling a domain.then "quantity" is not a negative.
