Managing domains
Your portfolio lives under Domains, then All Domains. Organize with folders, switch Cards or Spreadsheet, edit pricing, and review AI analysis.
Cards and Spreadsheet
- Open Domains, then All Domains.
- Above the list, switch Cards or Spreadsheet.
- Use Previous / Next when you have multiple pages.
Cards show feature switches (Website, Theft Guard, DNS) and a domain menu. Spreadsheet shows the same actions in columns.
To act on several domains at once, click Select in the card header: tick domains (or Select all in the current folder) and use Analyze or Delete in the bar at the bottom. To add many at once, use Add multiple. Both are described in Adding domains.
Folders
- In Organize Domains, click All Domains, Unorganized, or a folder to filter the list.
- Click New Folder. Enter name, optional description, color, and icon, then Save Folder.
- On a domain, open the domain menu, choose Move to Folder, pick a folder, then Move Domain.
Common patterns: one folder per client, per project, or by status (active, for sale, expired).
Per-domain actions
- Analyze with AI - refresh analysis for that domain
- Run Theft Guard - security check (also under Domains, then Theft Guard)
- Manage Reminders - renewal reminder contacts. Reminders are sent for domains you own and for domains you also watch, and they state the right number of days. A reminder missed because of a skipped day is still sent, up to 3 days late, once.
- Delete - remove the domain from your portfolio
- Feature switches - Website, Theft Guard, and DNS
From the Domains page hero you can also jump to Website Monitoring, Expense Analysis, and Renewal Reminders.
Registrar pricing (supported list)
Aepto syncs renewal pricing from these registrars so expense totals and suggestions stay accurate. If you have a negotiated rate, override the annual cost on the domain.

Email deliverability
Domain analysis includes MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Aepto grades deliverability and can email you when it gets worse.
- Excellent - MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC look correct
- Good - mostly configured, minor gaps
- Needs improvement - one or two records missing or wrong
- Poor - several records missing, or both DKIM and DMARC missing
Assign who gets these alerts under Domains, then Contacts (email deliverability notification type).
The grade is worked out by Aepto from the status of each record, not taken from AI wording, so the same records always give the same grade. The dashboard card Requires Your Attention lists the records that are actually missing or invalid (SPF, MX, DMARC) with the value to add; DKIM is not listed there because it cannot be checked without knowing your sender's selector.
AI analysis and overrides
Quick Add and Analyze with AI fill registrar, hosting, SSL, nameservers, and related fields. AI sometimes shows the upstream provider instead of the reseller you bought from - that is expected. Override any field when you know the correct value; your override wins over the next AI pass until you reset it.
Edit renewal cost
Open the domain pricing editor to set annual renewal cost so Expenses and renewals stay accurate. Details: Domain expenses.
FAQ
What is the difference between Cards and Spreadsheet?
Both show the same domains. Cards emphasize feature switches (Website, Theft Guard, DNS) and the domain menu. Spreadsheet packs the same actions into columns for bulk scanning.
Why does AI show a different registrar than who I paid?
Analysis often surfaces the upstream registry or wholesale provider instead of your retail reseller. That is expected—override fields when you know the correct value; your override wins until you reset it.
How do email deliverability grades work?
Aepto checks MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC and assigns Excellent, Good, Needs improvement, or Poor. Assign who gets alerts under Domains → Contacts with the email deliverability notification type.
My registrar is on the supported list but renewal cost looks wrong.
Pricing syncs on a schedule and may not match promos or negotiated rates. Open the domain pricing editor to set the annual renewal cost manually—see Domain expenses.
How do I organize domains for a client or project?
In Organize Domains, click New Folder, then use the domain menu → Move to Folder. Filter the list by folder anytime.
Does deleting a domain remove monitoring?
Delete removes the domain from your portfolio. Turn off or remove related monitors first if you want to keep historical monitoring data elsewhere—check Monitoring → Monitoring Dashboard before deleting.
