    Can anyone suggest the best way to manage domains from an early stage ?

    I only have a few (approaching 100) but wonder how guys with over 1000 manage.

    Main areas initially are keep track of reg company and dates , parking company , SEO and click rates.

    If you have a domain checking tool, such DNA Pro, create a list of your own domains and scan it regularly.

    This will help you track what you have and where it is parked / hosted.

    Check every domain has Nameservers defined by sorting the list by nameserver, this this help you to see any domains you forgot to park or host somewhere.

    If you use Sedo you can export the revenue stats into Excel easily from their site, check that everything pointing to Sedo nameservers is actually in your account, otherwise you wont be getting revenue recognition for it.

    As domains come up for renewal, check to see if they made their reg fee back over 2 years and then decide to keep it or not, some are worth keeping on the basis they may sell some day even if they make no direct revenue.

    If you use 123-reg, make sure you look at any domains coming up for renewal as they will automatically renew them unless you go into your control panel and release them.

    It takes time and effort, but check you portfolio at least once a month, I always find something I forgot to do!

    An Excel spreadsheet works for me ... with domains in date order by expiry date so I can see when they're coming up for renewal.

    Then I just rely on stats from Sedo, or for the sites I've built Statcounter or Google Analytics.

    I use a spreadsheet as well.
    Sometimes I pay a bit more, just to have a couple of domains in the same account where I have many others, cause it helps with the organisation.

    Is it me, or does anyone else currently see Statcounter as not functioning/inaccessible at the moment?
