Managed domain infrastructure
HM Domains finds, registers, and runs the domain names your business depends on - DNS, renewals, transfers, and premium acquisitions - managed by us, in accounts you own.
~30%
of businesses have let a domain lapse at some point - a missed renewal, an expired card, a notice to an inbox nobody monitors. The name usually goes before anyone notices.

missed renewal is all it takes. Once a name drops, it's on the open market within minutes, and recovering it costs multiples of the renewal fee - if you can recover it at all.

is what domain risk shows up as in your books until a name lapses. That's the problem - the exposure is invisible until the website, email, or a redirect suddenly stops working.
We register, configure, and manage the domain names your business runs on - then keep them renewed, pointing correctly, and safe from lapse.
We find and register the right names for your business - the ones customers actually type, not the leftovers once the good ones have gone. Searched properly, not grabbed in a panic.
DNS records configured correctly the first time and kept correct as your infrastructure changes - A, MX, TXT, CNAME - so email, websites, and verification all resolve. No more "why is email down" traced to a stale record.
Every domain you own in one inventory, with renewal dates, registrars, and expiry alerts watched for you - so a forgotten auto-renew or an expired card never takes a brand-critical name offline.
We move names between registrars cleanly and renew them on time - including catching names that lapse silently when a card expires, a registrant leaves, or a notice goes to an inbox nobody checks.
When the name you want is already taken, we approach the current owner, negotiate, and escrow the transfer - quietly, at a fair price, without your brand or budget attached to the offer.
Tap one block from each row - what you hold, what could bite, and what you want handled. Thirty seconds, no wrong answers, and the 15-minute call starts with your estate already half-mapped.
What you’re holding…
…what could bite…
…and what you want from us.

That’s plenty for one call - send them over.
That’s the shape. Send it over and we’ll arrive with a plan for exactly this.
That’s fine - most people aren’t.
Building the inventory is exactly what the free call is for. But even a rough sketch doubles what we can cover in fifteen minutes: pick whichever blocks feel closest and we’ll refine them together on the call. There’s no wrong answer.
A 15-minute call, then we map every domain you own - where it's registered, when it renews, where DNS points, and where the risk actually sits. You keep the inventory whether or not you hire us.
We bring scattered domains under clean management - transfers, renewals aligned, DNS standardised - on registrars and accounts you own, not a reseller account we hold.
We monitor renewals, DNS, and expiry dates continuously. When a name is about to lapse, a record drifts, or a registrar sends a notice, we usually know before you do.
Most shops register a name, hand over the credentials, and vanish. Two years later a renewal notice goes to someone who left, and the name drops. We run what we register - renewals, DNS, and portfolio hygiene are the service, not an extra.
Domains live in accounts you control, under your own registrar logins - not a reseller account we could hold hostage. If we ever part ways, the names and their access stay yours.
When you want a taken name, we approach the owner through a neutral intermediary so your brand and budget aren't visible. Most owners price up the moment they hear the word "acquisition".
Every portfolio is different. We scope it before we price it.
We assess your portfolio and the level of ongoing support it needs, then send a written proposal that separates the initial work from ongoing care. You will know the deliverables, costs, and next steps before you decide. No hourly billing or surprise extras.
Book a 15-minute callNo. We can manage domains in place at their current registrars, or consolidate them onto registrars you own - your call. Transferring is never a requirement, and we never hold names in a reseller account we control.
We watch renewal dates, DNS resolution, and expiry notices around the clock, renew names on time, fix DNS when infrastructure changes, and flag anything that puts a name at risk. You never chase a registrar notice yourself - you message us.
We identify the owner, approach through a neutral intermediary so your brand isn't visible, negotiate a fair price, and handle escrow and transfer. You see the number and approve it before any money moves.
Your domains stay exactly where they are - in your registrar accounts, under your logins. We hand over the inventory, DNS records, and renewal schedule. No hostage-taking, no forced transfer.
Yes - major gTLDs (.com, .org, .net, .io, .co, .ai, .app, .dev) and most ccTLDs. We'll tell you upfront if a specific registry has residency or local-presence requirements we can't meet.
The smaller the portfolio, the more a single lapse hurts - one dropped name can take a website, email, and every redirect with it. Our entry engagements are scoped for small portfolios, not just enterprises with hundreds of names.
