Why you must consolidate your domain names. Here's how...
Having your domain names registered with lots of different registrars is a pain. Email coming from several registrars, renewals, expiry dates, requests to transfer, unauthorised changes... you're putting your domain names at risk. How do you stay on top? Consolidate your domain names with a single registrar, here's how...
Why don't you protect them?
Chosen your domain name and designed your website. Multiple domain names registered for your products, services, management team, press page, events' calendar, not to mention your personalised business email address. Your entire marketing plan has been built around your portfolio of domain names. You chose to register your domain names with various registrars - fair enough. But managing them is a pain. If you miss a single email, you could lose a domain name - time and money lost. Why don't you protect them by consolidating with a single registrar?
It’s safer to consolidate your domain names
- Invoices and alerts arriving in different email boxes is chaotic. Use a single contact address to make your life easier.
- ICANN has recently introduced a Contact validation policy. If your contact information is inaccurate and you fail to update, as an accredited ICANN registrar we are obliged to suspend your account and any domain names associated with it. We don't mean to sound scary, but you really have to keep those contact details current.
- Domain folders and shared access means you can categorise your domain names by country, customer, extension, etc. You will then be able to perform global updates. Shared access reduces your workload by allowing you to grant different levels of access to your team so they can look after admin.
- Every account at EuroDNS has a dedicated account manager ready to look after your domain portfolio and let you know about any changes to registration requirements.
- We give a free Alpha SSL certificate and a free email address with every domain name registered or transferred to our platform. We also offer site building tools, advanced DNS capabilities, web hosting, and 750+ domain extensions.
