Domains

Keep the source record, responsible people and next operating decision connected in your own workspace.

INSIDE Domains

Domains in your workspace

Keep registration, expiry, ownership and hosting relationships together.

Domain

Registrar

Hosting link

Expiry

A domain is an operating asset

Record the domain, registrar, account owner, registration date and expiry date. A domain can support a website, email, a redirect or brand protection. Describe the purpose rather than assuming a domain without a live website has no value.

Verify the purpose with the responsible owner.

Hosted and not yet linked

A hosting relationship in the workspace documents what your team has confirmed. Missing linkage does not independently test DNS or prove the domain is unused. Update the hosting details when the service is hosted elsewhere or mark the purpose clearly.

Confirm the hosting relationship from authoritative records.

Expiry and renewal responsibility

Domain expiry can affect several services at once. Confirm provider dates and the person responsible for renewal. A stored expiry date is useful only while it remains current; verify it after transfers, renewals or changes to the registrar account.

Update the date after the provider confirms renewal.

Registrar access and recovery

Protect login references and recovery details with appropriate workspace permissions. Recovery information should remain available to authorised administrators during a handover, without exposing passwords in ordinary notes or notifications. Confirm that the recorded account is the correct one.

Review authorised access before a staff change.

Reviewing apparently unused domains

Ask whether a domain is reserved for a product, campaign, redirect or brand requirement. Only after confirming purpose and commercial terms should the owner consider retirement. Keep the decision linked to any affected website and email dependency.

Record the reason before allowing a domain to expire.
