Understanding Domain Portfolio Management

Domain Management4 min read·

This article explains how to organise and manage multiple domain names in your Web60 account.

What is Domain Portfolio Management

Domain portfolio management is how you organise and control multiple domain names from one place. If you own several domains for your business, you can manage them all through your Web60 account.

Viewing Your Domain Portfolio

  1. Log into your Web60 account
  2. Click "Domains" in the main menu
  3. You'll see a list of all domains connected to your account
  4. Each domain shows its status, expiry date, and current settings

The domain list shows which domains are active (connected to websites), parked (not in use), or redirecting to other domains.

Organising Multiple Domains

If you own variations of your business name (like mybusiness.ie, mybusiness.com, mybusiness-dublin.ie), group them together. Use one domain as your main website and redirect the others to it.

Set Up Domain Redirects

Domain redirects automatically send visitors from one domain to another. This is useful when you own multiple domains but only want to use one website.

To set up redirects, you can follow the guide on setting up domain redirects.

Manage Domain Parking

Domain parking holds a domain without connecting it to a website. Parked domains show a "coming soon" message to visitors.

For detailed parking instructions, see setting up domain parking.

Monitoring Domain Expiry Dates

Keep track of when your domains expire to avoid losing them:

  1. Check the expiry date column in your domain list
  2. Set up renewal reminders
  3. Enable auto-renewal for important domains

For detailed instructions, read how to check domain expiry dates.

Best Practices for Domain Portfolio Management

Use Clear Naming

Name your domains clearly in your account. If you have "shop.mybusiness.ie" and "booking.mybusiness.ie", label them as "Online Shop" and "Booking System".

Regular Reviews

Review your domain portfolio every few months. Remove domains you no longer need or consider selling valuable unused domains.

Keep Contact Information Updated

Make sure your contact details are current for all domains. You'll receive renewal notices and important updates at these addresses.

Plan Your Domain Strategy

Decide which domains are essential for your business and which are protective registrations. Focus your budget and attention on the most important ones.

Managing Domain Privacy and Security

Protect your domain portfolio by:

  • Enabling domain privacy protection
  • Using strong passwords
  • Keeping registrar contact information private
  • Monitoring for unauthorised changes

If you're having trouble connecting domains to your Web60 account, check the troubleshooting guide for domain connection issues.

FAQ

Q: How many domains can I manage in one Web60 account?

A: There's no limit to the number of domains you can manage in your Web60 account. You can add as many domains as you need for your business.

Q: Can I use one website for multiple domains?

A: Yes, you can point multiple domains to the same website. Set up domain redirects or configure multiple domains to show the same content.

Q: What happens if I forget to renew a domain?

A: If a domain expires, it enters a grace period where you can still renew it. After that, it becomes available for anyone to register. Enable auto-renewal to avoid this.

Q: Can I transfer domains from other registrars to Web60?

A: Yes, you can transfer domains from other registrars to Web60. The domain must be at least 60 days old and not recently transferred.

Q: Do I need separate hosting for each domain?

A: No, you can use one Web60 hosting account for multiple domains. You can create subdomains, redirects, or separate websites as needed.

Q: How do I know which domain is my primary domain?

A: Your primary domain is usually the one your main website uses. In your domain list, this is typically marked as "Active" or "Connected to Website".

Q: Can I sell domains I no longer need?

A: Yes, you can sell unused domains. You'll need to transfer ownership to the buyer through your domain registrar's transfer process.
