A large company's portfolio can include from hundreds to thousands of domain names, says Register.com, and can be a complex task. Considerations include contact detail requirements, billing structures and brand or business unit categorization. Additionally, the diversity of rules for registering in different territories and the complexity of renewal calendars must be handled quickly and effectively.
"The first step in working with Continental is to consolidate its portfolio," says Peter A. Forman, president and CEO of Register.com. "One of the key issues brand owners must address is the decentralized way in which domain names are often handled internally. Historically, different departments may have been involved in registering and managing domains with different providers, resulting in a fragmented portfolio."
After identifying and consolidating the existing domain name registrations, Continental can manage its portfolio through Name Console, Register.com's Web-based domain name management solution, which will allow Continental to centralize the process of registering, renewing and modifying the company's domain names, and allows decentralized access to the system across its regional offices.
