Tags: Domain Control, Domain Management, GoDaddy
Do you have a lot of registered domains with GoDaddy and find it difficult to manage them on your own? Are you a reseller who is registering domains on behalf of your customer and need to let them manage their own domains? Here’s a way to do just that, only for domains registered with GoDaddy.
GoDaddy lets you assign AccountExec who can manage the domains you want them to based on the roles you assign them. Here’s how it will work.
1. Create folders of domains - Assign as many as domains you want and even include a domain in multiple folders. The role of the AccountExec works at the folder level, so assign all the domains to a folder that you want someone to manage for you.
2. Choose the person or people you want to mange your domains. Send an email invitation to them.
3. As soon as the person accepts the invitation, assign them roles for the folders you have created.
A list of possible roles that you can assign to people is as follows:
Read Only - Your AccountExec can view entrusted domains, but cannot make modifications.
Admin - Your AccountExec can assume all defined roles defined for the entrusted resources.
Contacts - Your AccountExec can modify contact information for the entrusted domains as well as email forwarding for third level .NAME domains and Nexus information for .US domains.
Nameservers - Your AccountExec can modify nameserver information for the entrusted domains.
Auto Renew - Your AccountExec can set whether or not entrusted domains auto renew upon expiration.
Cancel - Your AccountExec can cancel the entrusted domains.
Hosts - Your AccountExec can manage hosts for the entrusted domains.
Domain Forwarding - Your AccountExec can manage domain forwarding settings for the entrusted domains.
This is a very nice feature that people with a lot of registered domains will find useful. How do you manage your domains that are registered with other domain registrars?
