ICANN Verified Domain Management

While domain management services are commonly used by larger businesses, they are also valuable for small- and medium-sized business owners or individuals who don't want to manage their domains themselves.

Your domain name is the core of your online identity--a unique address that represents you or your business. Choosing and registering the right domain are essential first steps for securing your online presence, but they're just the beginning.

What is domain management?

Domain management refers to the ongoing tasks of maintaining the stability, security, and performance of a personal or corporate domain (or domains). A domain name not only establishes your online presence but also acts as a gateway to your website, designed to meet your specific needs. While it's easy to focus on building and maintaining your website, managing the domain is equally important to ensure your website remains live and accessible.

Why do I need domain management?

To stay updated and secure, a domain requires ongoing management, whether you own a single domain or a large portfolio. Every domain owner must engage in some form of domain management. Various tools and services can help with tasks like keeping domains secure, updated, and tracking performance through analytics.

How does domain management work?

Domain management involves performing essential tasks, such as renewing or terminating domain registration, determining nameservers and hosting providers, and making necessary changes to the domain. It also includes checking for potentially harmful domain names that could affect your brand's reputation or authority. Another critical part of domain management is security--validating IP addresses, monitoring for suspicious access, and protecting against threats like domain hijacking and fraud.

Do I really need domain management?

The short answer: Yes! While individual users and small businesses may only need one domain, larger corporations or businesses with multiple interests may require several domains. Many registrars recommend purchasing related domain names to prevent competitors from using them and to capture common misspellings. This can result in a large portfolio of domains, some of which may never be used. Whether you manage one domain or many, ongoing management ensures they stay secure and functional.
