Domain portfolio management

Every dollar your registrar overcharges you is a dollar they'll never mention.

I audit domain portfolios, quantify the overspend, and migrate everything to the right registrar — zero downtime, flat fee. Independent. Registrar-agnostic. Working for you, not them.

The problem

What your account manager isn't incentivized to tell you.

01

Renewal markup is the business model

A .com costs registries $9.77. GoDaddy charges $21.99 to renew one. Name.com charges $15.58. The spread is pure margin — and it compounds every year, across every domain. Your AM's job is to make sure you keep paying it.

02

Your AM works for the registrar

They're measured on retention and upsell. Their compensation depends on you staying, not on you getting the best deal. They will never recommend a competitor — even when the competitor is objectively better and cheaper.

03

Switching friction is manufactured

Domain transfers are technically simple. Registrars make them feel complicated so you don't bother. The truth: a 50-domain migration takes one afternoon. Your AM hopes you never find that out.

How it works

Audit. Decide. Migrate. Done.

01

Portfolio audit

Send me your primary domain. I'll map every domain you own, what you're paying per renewal, and what you'd pay at the optimal registrar. You get a report with exact dollar savings — domain by domain, year by year.

Free · 15 min · no obligation
02

You look at the math

If the savings aren't worth it, keep the report. No invoice, no follow-up pressure. Most portfolios over five domains make it obvious.

Your decision
03

I handle the migration

Every DNS record pre-staged before anything moves. Email uninterrupted. Sites live throughout. Your involvement: approving a confirmation email per domain.

24–48 hrs · zero downtime
04

Ongoing ops — if you want it

Renewal monitoring, DNS changes, security reviews, quarterly cost reports. The domain ops function without the headcount. Or walk away after migration — no lock-in.

The math

Renewal pricing your registrar hopes you never compare.

Extension Typical registrar At-cost Saved
.com $13.99 – $21.99 $9.77 –$4.22 to –$12.22
.net $14.99 – $19.99 $10.77 –$4.22 to –$9.22
.org $14.99 – $20.99 $10.11 –$4.88 to –$10.88
50 domains ~$745/yr ~$500/yr –$245/yr · –$735 over 3 yrs

Pricing as of April 2026. Your audit shows your exact portfolio numbers — not estimates.

Who

The person on the other end of this.

I spent years in B2B technical sales — managing renewal books, hitting quota, upselling customers on products that were sometimes the right fit and sometimes weren't. I've sat in the account manager's chair. I know what the job actually is, and I know which parts of it serve the customer and which parts serve the company.

Most of it serves the company.

DomainOps exists because nobody should need an account manager to explain domain renewals, and nobody should overpay for the privilege. I'm registrar-independent — I recommend whatever saves you the most, handle the migration, and manage things going forward if you want me to. If you don't, that's fine too.

Questions

What you're probably thinking.

What if something breaks during migration? +
Transfers change who manages your registration, not your DNS. I pre-stage every record at the new registrar before initiating the transfer. Your site stays live. Email keeps flowing. If anything goes sideways, I'm on it same-day — which is more than most AMs offer.
We already have an account manager. +
What does your AM do that the platform shouldn't handle automatically? Renewals auto-renew. DNS is a dashboard click. SSL provisions itself. You're paying a per-domain premium for a human to manage things that don't require one. The question is whether that premium is worth $3–8 per domain per year.
The savings seem small. +
On five domains, maybe. On twenty, it's $100–160/yr. On fifty, it's real money — and it compounds. Beyond savings: faster DNS resolution, free WHOIS privacy, no surprise renewal increases, and support that resolves issues instead of sending canned replies.
Why should I trust you with my domains? +
You shouldn't trust anyone with your domains — and you don't have to. You remain the registrant. You hold every credential. You approve every transfer. I handle the technical work: DNS staging, EPP codes, MX verification. You own everything, always.
What does this cost? +
The audit is free. Migration is a flat fee: $200 for up to 20 domains, $400 for 20–75, custom above that. Ongoing management starts at $75/mo, cancel anytime. Most clients save more in year one than the total cost of migration.
