Hello,
We're moving toward the final stages on version 1 of a comprehensive web-based domain management script called DomainFolio. If you've seen the STATUS CHECKER tool on FreeWho.com, it is primarily based on that, but it is the next stage in its possibilities.
In a nutshell, this system (PHP based) will allow you to import all of your names into it, and organize your names into groups. You can "status check" any and all groups you like, on demand. The tool automatically knows analyzes and reports on all manner of useful data concerning that domain name. It includes registrar, registry, and reseller databases that can be customized and updated as you see fit (allowing you to add and modify new entries).
Most powerfully, when viewing an individual domain, the page displays miniature calendars, showing the date of creation and expiration for that domain (if they have been recorded). You can then click to find all domains in your system that have similar criteria, like creation month, creation year, expiration month, expiration year, etc. At a glance, the "home" page shows the registrar breakdown of all your domains, as an example, something like this:
You'll be able to create GROUPS to sort your domains into for whatever purpose you need. You can have groups that represent specific clients, for whom you are managing their web presence (eg. Hardon Oil, HyperPhone Inc., Equinox Ltd), you can create groups of domains for particular usage categories (eg. business, personal, PPC, etc), or even groups that specify which domains are on which of your webservers (or IHPs). An instance of each domain can be placed ONCE into any existing group. As well, the system accomodates "specialized" groups, called "views", that can allow you to monitor names that are "dropping" or that have been entered into any number of "drop services". These "special" views are different from the "normal" groups as they allow you to assign additional qualities to each item in the group, such as the SERVICE each item in it is associated with (eg. SnapNames, NameWinner, ClupDrop, etc.)
Domains Names, by virtue of their registry entries, will automatically belong to a given Registry AND Registrar. Users may also add Resellers to each Registrar, and assign each domain names to the Reseller entry of their choice.
Included with the package is a full "whois" tool, that as mentioned above will allow each individual to customize it, and add additional registry entries to it as needed. Future versions may or may not roll in wholly new, additional features, but the existing feature set will continue to be enhanced and expanded. This feature is also used when taking "snapshots" of whois records over time (which you can do from inside the viewing page on any given domain). Grabbing registrar-level "whois" results will not be "automated" with this first release. You will need to go into each domain individually. Along with "whois" snapshots, you can add notes to any domain names (time stamped), any registry, any registrar, or any reseller you want (for record keeping purposes).
Lastly, in addition to all that has been mentioned above, the main website DomainFolio.com, will allow users to get additional Registrar information from that website, as well as add their review of registrars, registries, and resellers they have opinions on (directly from their management pages).
Again, the script is PHP-based, and currently supports MySQL. Support is planned for many other database formats as well, including "Access .MDB file", "PostgreSQL", "ODBC", and "MS SQL".
Now, my question to you is, how would you value a package like this? I have created a poll, and would appreciate getting feedback on how useful (and of what value) this product would be to you. Comment below on what you think, and post to the poll as well.
Thank You,
