How to manage domains, hosting and websites without a spreadsheet mess
Map the relationships before an expiry or access problem interrupts your work.
Connect the three records
A domain, hosting plan and website are different assets. Record which hosting supports each website and which domain points to it. Mark gaps that need confirmation instead of assuming an unlinked domain is unused.
Store lifecycle information
Keep registrar, registration and expiry dates, account owner and renewal responsibility current. Verify recovery information through a controlled access process.
Review apparently unused capacity
An empty hosting relationship can mean missing data or spare infrastructure. Ask the responsible person to confirm usage before retiring anything, then update the records and expected cost.
Put it into practice
