If you buy and sell domain names, you already know the problem. Your domains are spread across Namecheap, Dynadot, and NameSilo. Renewal dates live in one tab, acquisition costs in another, and marketplace performance across Sedo, Afternic, and GoDaddy Auctions is anyone's guess.
That fragmented workflow costs you time, money, and occasionally — domains you forgot to renew.
We built NameCM to replace it.
Why Managing a Domain Portfolio Gets Hard Fast
When you first start to buy and sell domain names, a Google Sheet works fine. It stops working when you need to:
- Track expiration dates across 5+ registrars simultaneously
- Calculate which TLDs are profitable and which are draining capital
- Monitor which marketplaces are actually producing sales
- Generate a financial breakdown for tax or strategy reviews without spending hours on it
This is where dedicated domain portfolio management software becomes essential — and where most investors are still stuck in 2015.
What Is NameCM?
NameCM (Names Control & Management) is a free, browser-based domain portfolio tracker built specifically for people who buy and sell domain names — whether you're managing 10 domains or 10,000.
No installation. No spreadsheets. One dashboard.
Unlike older tools like DomainPunch, Efty, or DomainMOD — which are either desktop-only, expensive, or require self-hosting — NameCM is modern, web-first, and built around the financial metrics that actually matter for domain investing.
Core Features
📋 Interactive Domain Table with Inline Editing
Add domains manually or bulk-import via CSV. Every column is editable inline — TLD, registrar, marketplace, expiration date, purchase cost, sale price. Sort and filter any way you need. It becomes your single source of truth for your entire domain name portfolio.
⏰ Domain Renewal Tracker with 90-Day Alerts
The Expiring Soon panel automatically flags any domains expiring within the next 90 days. Missing a renewal is an expensive mistake when you buy and sell domain names at scale. NameCM makes sure you never make it.
🌐 Multi-Registrar Support with Bulk Import
Whether your domains live at Porkbun, Cloudflare Registrar, Namecheap, Dynadot, or NameSilo, you can consolidate everything into one dashboard. Bulk CSV uploads make migration fast even for large portfolios.
Analytics That Actually Help You Make Money
This is the part we're most proud of. Every other investment class has dashboards for financial analysis. Domain investing has been underserved — until now.
Monthly Cost Breakdown by TLD
A stacked bar chart shows renewal costs, acquisition costs, and sale profits over time, segmented by TLD. Filter by year to answer: Are we over-invested in a TLD that isn't selling?
Financial Overview & Domain ROI Tracking
A pie chart breaks down total spending on renewals vs. acquisitions vs. sales revenue — with TLD drilldown. For anyone who buys and sells domain names seriously, understanding your true ROI requires tracking profit from sales minus all costs. NameCM surfaces those numbers automatically.
Registrar & Marketplace Performance
- Registrar distribution — see renewal costs broken down by TLD across registrars
- Marketplace performance — identify which platforms (Sedo, Afternic, GoDaddy Auctions) are actually closing sales
- Portfolio composition — quick snapshot of domain count by TLD
Built-in Tools for Domain Investors
Bulk Availability Checker
Paste a list of domains and check availability in one shot. Results stream in real time — green for available, red for taken. Much faster than manual WHOIS lookups.
Similar Sales Checker (Powered by NameBio)
Type a keyword and pull up historical sale records from NameBio's database. Essential when you need to price a domain or validate whether a niche has real market demand before you buy.
