Domain Management Services for Renewals Transfers Portfolios

Domain management services take responsibility for the domains your business depends on. That covers registering new names, tracking every expiry date, paying renewals on time, running transfers between registrars, and keeping the account that holds them secure. The point is not the domain itself, which is cheap. It is making sure nobody has to remember it, and that a lapsed card or a forgotten inbox never costs you a name you built a business on.

Most transfers take five to seven days. The registry enforces a five day window on generic domains like .com and .net, and that clock cannot be shortened by us or anyone else. Before it starts we need the domain unlocked and an authorization code from your current registrar, which we request on your behalf. Your existing DNS records are copied over first, so your site and email keep working the whole time.

You do. Your business stays on the registrant record as the legal owner. We hold the account that manages the domain, which is what lets us handle renewals and changes, but that is an administrative role rather than an ownership one. If you ever want the domain moved to an account of your own, we unlock it and give you the authorization code.

Two numbers, shown separately on your invoice. The management fee is $1.00 per domain per month on the standard plan, or $2.50 on the Plus DNS plan. On top of that you pay whatever the registry charges for the name itself, passed through at cost. A .com currently runs a little over ten dollars a year at that wholesale rate. We add nothing to it.

No. Bringing domains to us is free, however many you have. We request the authorization codes, clear the locks at your current registrar, and run each transfer through. Under registry rules a transfer also adds a year of registration to the domain, and you keep any time you had already paid for. The only cost is that added registration year at the registry rate.

We unlock the domain and send you the authorization code, and you move it wherever you want. There is no exit fee, no notice period, and no waiting time beyond what the registry itself requires. Because the registrant record is already in your name, nothing about ownership needs renegotiating. We would rather you leave cleanly than feel stuck.

Cloudflare sells domains at the wholesale registry fee and adds no markup, which is unusual. Registration and renewal cost the same, so there is no cheap first year that quadruples later. It also includes WHOIS privacy, DNSSEC, and SSL at no charge, where most registrars bill separately for each. That combination means the price we quote you is close to the true cost of the name.

Partly. Cloudflare Registrar requires domains registered there to use Cloudflare nameservers, so the apex of the domain resolves through Cloudflare. That is a platform requirement rather than a policy of ours. If you run DNS elsewhere, on DigitalOcean for example, we can delegate a subdomain to your nameservers so those records stay under your control. The apex itself cannot be pointed away.

With us it should not, because we watch the dates and confirm each renewal cleared rather than trusting an automated email. If a payment does fail, we catch it inside the registry grace period and fix it. Left unattended, an expired domain moves into a redemption period where recovery costs well over a hundred dollars, and after that it drops and anyone can register it.

Yes, subject to what the registrar supports. The management fee stays the same regardless of the extension. The registry cost does not: a .ai or .io can cost several times what a .com does, and some registries require multi-year registration. We quote you the actual registry price before registering anything unusual, so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives.

Yes, and that is how most clients start. You send us the list of what you own, we look up where each name currently sits and when it expires, and we transfer them in. Domains registered in the last sixty days cannot be transferred under registry rules, so those wait until the window opens. We track them in the meantime.

Registrar lock is on for every domain we manage, which blocks unauthorized transfer attempts at the registry level. The account itself requires two-factor authentication and is limited to our team, so there is no shared password in a document or tied to a former employee's email. DNSSEC is enabled where the registry supports it, which stops forged responses to lookups for your domain.

Yes, at no extra charge on every eligible domain. Your name, address, phone number, and email stay out of the public WHOIS database, replaced by privacy service details. That cuts down the spam and cold calls that follow a new registration, and it keeps your home address off a public record if you registered the domain as a sole proprietor.

Yes. This comes up often with agencies handing a site over at the end of an engagement. We unlock the domain, generate the authorization code, and pass it to whoever is taking over. If the new owner wants to stay with us instead, we can move it to their own account and billing without the domain ever leaving the registrar.

The standard plan at $1.00 per domain per month covers the domain itself: registration, renewals, transfers, and the security around the account. The Plus DNS plan at $2.50 per domain per month adds our managed DNS service at no extra charge, which means we make your record changes for you and handle the DNS side of migrations. If you touch records more than once a year, Plus is the cheaper option.
