Domain Strategy

Domains that
you actually own.

Most small businesses have domains registered in someone else's account, pointed at the wrong DNS servers, and set to auto-renew on an expired card. We audit, consolidate, and manage your domain portfolio so it doesn't become a crisis.

What's included

Everything you need, none of the upsell.

Real deliverables, with the boundaries written down. So you know what you're paying for and what counts as extra.

Audit

What you own and where it lives.

Full inventory of registered domains, registrar accounts, expiry dates, and DNS configuration. Most clients find domains they forgot about.

Brand Protection

.ca and .com at minimum.

Your primary name registered in both major TLDs plus common misspellings. Defensive registration before a competitor or squatter gets there.

DNS Management

Correct records, documented.

MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, A, CNAME, and TXT records correct and documented. So your email deliverability and website routing work as expected.

Transfer and Consolidation

One account, your control.

Domains scattered across old registrars or a previous web developer's account transferred to a registrar you control. Auto-renew on your card.

How it works

The order we work in.

A clear sequence so you can budget time, money, and risk against the work.

Step 01

Audit.

Inventory every domain you own across all registrar accounts. Document expiry dates and DNS configurations.

Step 02

Gaps.

Identify domains you should own but don't: misspellings, alternate TLDs, brand variants.

Step 03

Register and Transfer.

Register gaps and transfer everything to a consolidated account under your control.

Step 04

DNS Cleanup.

Review and correct all DNS records. Document the configuration for future reference.
