Domains

Domains is where you keep track of every web address you own: what it costs, when it renews, who is responsible for it, and what it is worth, so nothing lapses by accident and you always know the value of what you hold.

1. 1

   Dashboard

   A single-glance view: how many domains you own, their combined estimated value, what you are spending per month and per year, what is due to renew soon, and anything that needs your attention, like a domain that already expired without auto-renew on, which means it is genuinely at risk of being lost, not just a routine charge.

   Portfolio

   The full searchable list, built to tell your domains apart at a glance. Each row shows the company it belongs to, the registrar that holds it, its status, a coloured health label (Expired, On hold, Lapses soon, Not working, Auto-renew off, Healthy), where it is hosted, whether the website loads or forwards, when it expires, whether auto-renew is on, the yearly cost, what has been paid so far, what it is worth, and worth minus what it has cost. Every registrar and host keeps its own colour. More columns (DNS provider, email provider, where it forwards, extension, monthly cost, tags) are in the column picker, and you can filter by health, registrar or host. Paid so far shows the total you recorded; without one it shows an estimate (yearly cost times years held), marked "est.". Click a row to open its full detail.

   Detail

   Pick any domain from the search box at the top of this tab, or step through them with the previous and next arrows. Everything about one domain: registrar, cost, paid so far, worth, renewal date, website and email status, hosting, DNS, nameservers, tags, notes, and a complete history. Every renewal, cost change, status change and ownership change is logged automatically, and you can add notes for anything that happened before it was added to WorkBOS.

What a domain is worth: WorkBOS estimates it from written rules, the same kinds of things professional appraisers look at. It splits the name into words, then weighs how long it is, whether the words are real and commonly searched, how valuable the subject is to advertisers (legal, health, money and insurance words count for more), the ending (.com is worth the most; newer endings like .help or .agency much less), hyphens, numbers and misspellings (each lowers it), names that only mean something to you (worth more to you than to a buyer), and how long you have held it. The detail page shows the estimate, a likely low-to-high range, what a domain investor would pay for a quick sale, and a How we worked this out card listing every factor. The estimate is worked out fresh each time, so it always reflects the domain as it is now. A figure you type into Worth yourself always wins.
