If you already work with us for web design Auckland or website design Auckland, this domain management service keeps everything in one place.
Why domain management matters
Most small businesses in Auckland set a domain up once and then forget about it until something goes wrong. By then the site is down, email stops working, or the domain is close to expiring.
- Domains are often registered under old staff, past agencies, or personal emails.
- Renewals can be missed if the credit card expires or invoices are ignored.
- DNS changes for new websites, email services, or tracking tools can be confusing.
- Security is a risk if logins are shared informally or not updated.
Our domain management Auckland service is designed to remove this risk and give you a single, reliable contact to handle everything.
Renewal tracking & ownership protection
We keep track of expiry dates, renewal settings, and contact details so your domain does not accidentally lapse or get stuck under the wrong owner.
DNS setup, changes & fixes
We configure and update DNS for website hosting, email, subdomains, and third-party tools, and test to make sure traffic routes correctly.
Domain transfers & consolidation
We help you move domains between providers, bring scattered domains into one account, and clean up old or unused records.
Ongoing support & documentation
We keep a clear record of logins, settings, and history so you always know where things are and what has been done.
How our domain management process works
Audit your current domains
We review where your domains are registered, who the legal owner is, when they expire, and how DNS is currently configured.
Secure access & ownership
We help you regain or confirm access, update contact details, and make sure the business is listed as the legal registrant wherever possible.
Clean up DNS settings
We remove old records, add correct entries for your website and email, and set up SPF/DKIM/DMARC where required.
Set renewal & monitoring rules
We configure renewals, reminders, and simple reporting so there are no surprises when bills or expiry dates come up.

Domain management Auckland FAQs
Short answers to common questions business owners ask us about domain management and DNS.
What is domain management and why do I need it?
Domain management covers everything around your domain name, including renewals, ownership, DNS, and security. You need it so your website and email stay online and you do not lose control of your domain if something changes with staff, cards, or providers.
Can you manage domains that were registered with another provider?
Yes. We regularly work with domains registered through common providers such as Crazy Domains, GoDaddy, Freeparking, and others. We can manage the domain where it is, or help you transfer it if that is the best option.
Do I keep ownership of my domain if Kiwi Web Design manages it?
Yes. Our goal is to make sure the business is clearly listed as the domain owner. We can hold technical access and manage settings, but the domain should stay in your name so you can move providers in future if you choose.
Can you help if my domain is close to expiring or has already expired?
If the domain is close to expiring, we can usually secure it and extend the term. If it has already expired, it depends on how long it has been and which registrar it is with. Contact us as soon as possible and we will check the status and next steps.
