[WIP] APP - all your domains
I decided to write a small app in php to store all the details about the domains I own. I started tinkering with the code and built a semi-functional prototype. Because it looked crappy I wrapped it with Bootstrap and here's a first screenshot:
Here's functionality that is already implemented:
- Storing domains details including address, registrar and registration/renewal dates, comments
- Storing info about registrars including their address and comments (you can put prices here)
- Adding new domains
- Adding new registrars
What I have planned to do:
- Ability to put domains into "folders"
- Ability to notify when expiration date coming
- Rewrite it to use a framework such as CodeIgniter or similar (FYI: it's "pure" PHP+MySQL so far)
- WHOIS when adding domain to save time
What I wanted to ask is if you can think of any functionality that I'm missing and would be good to have in app like this. Any input appreciated

Looks awesome! Will you be releasing this once finished?
I will of course!
Maybe have an option to query the domain's for their current name servers (and/or) resolving A names.
Looks good!
Idea:
Add Subdomains
example.com
- sub.example.com
- sub2.example.com
and then it would be nice to have server status be available for each domain and subdomain.
Not a bad idea, was actually thinking about adding a field indicating where it's being hosted.
Add Subdomains
May I ask what would be the advantage of this?
Nice? Yes, though I think it would be outside of the scope.
Awesome App
Thanks! Any ideas how I could name it?
Definitely awesome little tool
you could call it Fourcow I can give you the domain fourcow.com for free... most useless domain I ever registered lol.
Nice, great idea.
For me, keeping track of multiple subdomains would be nice, especially when working with multiple clients it would be nice to see all the domains/subdomains they have running for internal/external services.
Yeah, just a thought. Maybe a future project for me.
@alex just curious, is this gonna be open source?
certainly!
Looks useful. I look forward to you releasing it.

Pretty!
Nice. Bulk add/edit/delete should be available to save time.

Any idea when this will be out?
What's with the numbers in the registrar column? Shouldn't that just be the name of the registrar, possibly with a link to their site?
@DStrout - I noticed that as well. Figuring that'll be either a.)configurable or b.)the name of the registrar.
It's a reference to registrar id stored in another mysql table. It will be pulled out and the name of registrar will be there.
I am hoping a rough version will be out in few days
Add users to it, with ability for the admin to limit how much domains a user can have.
It's for personal use, I don't see the reason for adding different users
@alex, I am thinking of a service, that's why I asked you.
I get your point, but to take it to the service level there's a LOT to do. So I'm first hoping to release it in a simple version and then think bigger.
Ok, I'm looking forward to testing it on my server.
I'm dying to try this in my openwrt though.
