Folders by brand
Separate corporate brands, campaign TLDs, and client retainers so spend and risk stay attributable.
Corporate · Agency renewals
Corporate domain renewals fail quietly. Catch them early.
Corporate domain renewal management means one owner, one calendar and one budget for every domain the organisation holds, across all registrars. Aepto shows each domain's renewal date, annual cost and SSL expiry in one view and reminds you before expiry. Renewals still happen at your registrar.
Cost + calendar in one operation
- SSL certificates, expiry dates and annual spend sit in one view, so a lapse the week before a campaign gets caught.
- The same Attention queue also carries content failures and Theft Guard alerts, because corporate risk is not only downtime.
- Renewal dates often live in five registrar invoices and one inbox nobody owns.
- Aepto centralizes the book so finance can see spend and ops can see expiry before the brand goes dark.

Expiry triage
Requires Your Attention surfaces renewals inside your reminder window before legal or marketing discovers the outage.
SSL windows
Cert expiry next to domain expiry, because browsers warn shoppers even when the name still resolves.
DNS drift
Theft Guard alerts on unexpected NS or registrar moves. Complements locks, does not replace them.
What happens when something fails?
- When something fails, corporate ops need client-facing status and Slack/Teams routes, not a single admin’s root email.
- Status pages start on Free, white-label branding from Professional, and webhooks need a paid plan. Renewal visibility is on every plan.
- Agencies use the same pattern: private Attention queue for the team, public status URL for the client, paid webhooks when the incident channel is Slack or Teams instead of a shared inbox.
What does Aepto do, and what stays with your registrar?
- Aepto does not renew names for you, and it does not act as legal counsel.
- It makes cost and expiry visible across the portfolio, so people renew on time at the registrar they already use.
- Free covers expenses and renewal visibility for 3 domains.
- Paid plans add Content Monitoring, webhooks, more domains and faster checks.

How corporate renewal chaos usually starts
- A campaign microsite renews on a personal card.
- A brand TLD sits at a different registrar from the rest of the book.
- An agency retainer includes domains the client thinks someone else tracks.
- Nobody owns the calendar until the site 404s.
- Aepto puts expiry, spend and DNS risk in one dashboard without a registrar migration first. You renew where you already renew.

Common questions
Can teams manage client domains?
Yes. Folders, contacts, status pages, and (on paid) webhooks help agencies and corporate ops keep client books separate without separate tools.
Does Aepto renew at the registrar?
No. Aepto makes expiry and cost visible and reminds you. Renewal still happens at your registrar, with fewer surprises.
Is expense tracking on Free?
Yes. Renewal visibility and expenses start on Free. Content Monitoring and alert webhooks unlock on paid when ops needs deeper failure naming and team routes.
Who is this for?
Corporate brand teams, agencies on retainer, and operators responsible for multi-brand or multi-client domain books where one missed renewal becomes a legal or campaign problem.
Does Aepto replace registrar locks or legal counsel?
No. Aepto is an operations dashboard. Locks, 2FA, and transfers stay at the registrar. Theft Guard alerts on baseline drift, it does not lock domains itself.
Why do corporate renewals fail?
Staff changes, orphaned registrar logins, and billing emails that land in one person's inbox. A shared renewal view with named owners beats tribal knowledge.
How far ahead should we look?
Most teams need a rolling 60-90 day window plus annual cost visibility so finance is not surprised. Aepto surfaces upcoming renewals beside monitored domains.
