Domain management for agencies and company teams
Domain management for agencies comes down to three things: every client domain in one place, the client recorded as the owner, and renewals that never slip. NameBest gives you one account for all the domains you run, auto renew per domain, invoices for every payment and an export of every expiry date. You set it all up yourself, with no sales call.
03
One account for every domain you manage
All domains sit in one list with their status, expiry date, auto renew state, privacy and transfer lock. Search, register and transfer in from the same place. There are no plans or seats to buy: you pay for each domain at its yearly price, shown in the search result and on the domain prices page.
- One list with status and expiry date for every domain
- Register new names and transfer existing ones into the same account
- The same included features on every domain: privacy, DNS, forwarding, nameservers
- No minimum number of domains and no account fee
04
Client domains with the client as registrant
For each domain you enter the registrant details at checkout. Put your client's company there, and the client is the legal holder of the domain in the registry, while you manage DNS and renewals from your account. If the client leaves, you unlock the domain and hand over the EPP code from the dashboard, or update the registrant details if they move to a new owner. See update registrant contact details.
- The client owns the domain, you run it
- Clean handover with the EPP code from your dashboard
- No disputes about who holds the name when a contract ends
05
Auto renew per domain
Each domain renews on its own date with its own switch. Keep auto renew on for live client sites and turn it off for a campaign domain you will let go. Reminders go out 30 and 7 days before expiry and again after expiry if a payment fails, so nothing lapses quietly. Read domain auto renew.
06
Invoices and domain list export
Every registration, transfer and renewal produces an invoice in your dashboard, so you can rebill clients line by line. Export the full domain list with expiry dates and auto renew state to a spreadsheet for planning and reporting. See domain invoices and payment methods.
| What you need | How it works at NameBest |
|---|---|
| Rebill a client | One invoice per registration or renewal |
| Plan next year's spend | Export with every expiry date |
| Stop paying for a domain | Switch off auto renew, the domain runs to the end of the paid year |
| Move a client to another agency | Unlock and share the EPP code |
07
DNS and forwarding without tickets
Edit records for any domain in the account: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and SRV. Point domains to client hosts with custom nameservers, set 301 or 302 redirects with paths through domain forwarding, and add TXT records for verification. Changes go live within minutes.
08
Self-serve from the first domain
Open an account at checkout with your email and a code, add your domains and start managing them. There is no sales process, no contract to sign and no minimum term beyond the registry's own rules. Everything a team needs is in the dashboard. If you have a question, write to [email protected] and we answer by email.
- Account in two steps at checkout
- Bulk transfers of existing client domains with their EPP codes, see domain transfer
- Transfer lock on by default for every domain

Questions about domain management for agencies
Can I manage domains registered to my clients?
Yes. Enter the client as the registrant at checkout and manage DNS, renewals and transfers from your account.
Is there a fee for an agency account?
No. You pay only the yearly price of each domain. There are no plans, seats or account fees.
Can I transfer many client domains at once?
Yes. Add each domain with its EPP code to the transfer form. Each transfer adds one year to that domain's registration.
How do I hand a domain back to a client who leaves?
Switch off the transfer lock and give the client the EPP code from your dashboard. They start the transfer at their new registrar.
