ICANN Verified Domain Management

While domain management services are widely used by larger businesses, they can also be a useful solution for busy domain owners running small- or medium-sized - businesses, or even individuals who don't want to manage domains themselves.

Your domain name is the core component of your online presence-the address of a piece of online real estate that belongs only to you or your business. Choosing the right domain name and registering it are essential first steps for securing your company's online presence, but they're not the only ones.

What is domain management?

Domain management, or domain name management, refers to the ongoing tasks of keeping a personal or corporate domain (or domains) stable, secure, and able to support related websites. The domain name not only establishes its owner's presence on the Internet, it also serves as a portal to a business or personal website designed to serve that owner's unique needs. Site owners may be tempted to focus all their attention on setting up and maintaining the website itself, but managing the domain is a key factor in keeping the website live and accessible.

Why do I need domain management?

To stay updated and secure, a domain needs ongoing management, whether it's a single domain owned by a new entrepreneur or part of a large portfolio of domains owned by a large corporation. Every domain name owner needs to practice some form of domain management-and a wide range of domain management services and tools can help users with tasks ranging from keeping domains updated and secure to tracking performance with sophisticated analytics.

How does domain management work?

Domain management can take various forms, depending on a domain owner's individual goals and needs. But, in general, a domain owner needs to be able to perform essential tasks such as renewing or terminating domain name registration, determining nameservers and hosting providers, and making changes to domain names if needed.

Because a domain establishes its owner's online identity, managing that domain can also include checking for similar names that might be harmful to a brand's reputation or authority, or tracking analytics to see how it performs in searches. Another key part of domain management involves security-validating IP addresses associated with the domain and checking for suspicious access to the domain, attempted theft, hijacking, fraud, and other threats harmful to the health of a secure domain.

Do I really need domain management?

The short answer is "Yes!" Individual users and small businesses might find that a single domain name is all that's needed to establish an online presence and develop a brand. Larger corporations and those with a number of different business interests may need multiple domains. Many registrars recommend buying as many related domain names as possible to keep them from being used by competitors and to capture all possible variants that might be typed in during a search--including misspellings. That can result in a large portfolio of domain names, some of which may never be used. Whether a user buys one domain or many, though, ongoing management keeps them updated and working to support the websites they serve.
