Just like people use different registrars and parking companies for different reasons, people manage their domain portfolios differently. So, I would try both AND a spreadsheet.

Patrick, you are correct. It depends on which one your most comfortable with.

As far as redundancy, WatchMyDomains lets you export the domains to an Excel file if you want to make a copy.

There are benefits to desktop software and SAAS…

Thanks Andrew and Rob for your responses.

It seems WatchMyDomains Pro is software you buy and load onto your computer.

DNZoom is more like SAAS where the software resides on their computer.

If my understanding is correct, I like the SAAS model better, I think.

Or maybe both methods should be used for redundancy.

I am using a simple tool to manage my renewal. The first one is the auto-renewal for them domains and other one is using my email calendar to remind me every year to renew a domain name. This never fail.

Patrick, I’ve played around with DNZoom during beta. I like the idea…if I didn’t have a solution already in place I would definitely try it.

Yes. I like dnzoom but haven’t loaded in all my domains.

Also, they don’t have relationships with all registrars and parking companies yet but they definitely have a great system so try it out.

Andrew,

What about DNZoom?

Have you tried it?

They claim you can manage your parked domains and your portfolio of registered domains.
