Why a spreadsheet is not enough for domain management

Spreadsheets work until they don't. The moment your portfolio grows past a handful of domains, manual tracking becomes a liability.

THE TIPPING POINT

A spreadsheet is fine for three domains at one registrar. It stops working the moment any of these grow.

domains

Manual tracking becomes unreliable once your portfolio passes a handful of domains.

registrars

A second registrar means a second login, a second set of renewal emails, and twice the chance of missing something.

people

The moment someone else needs access, a shared spreadsheet becomes a liability.
