Major Updates in Domain Portfolio Software: What You Need to Know

What's New

The existing desktop software products—Domain Punch Pro, Watch My Domains Pro, and Watch My Domains ISP—are being fully retired. Several key factors have influenced this decision:

• The gradual discontinuation of Whois protocol.
• These products date back to the late 1990s, and modern, more advanced technology stacks are now available.
• A strategic consolidation of product offerings into two distinct categories: Server Editions and Desktop Editions.

Desktop and Server

Going forward, domain name portfolio management will be streamlined into two products, one for desktop installation and one for the server installation.

The new desktop edition offers enhanced speed and performance, now featuring built-in support for Socks5 proxies. It utilizes RDAP for queries but seamlessly falls back to Whois when an RDAP server is unavailable. We will be rolling out frequent updates in the coming days as we test and integrate new features.
