We have been getting questions about our domain name portfolio management software products and support for IDNs. Most of our software products already support second level IDN (International Domain Names). Please see the earlier blog post that was made more than an year ago.
Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)
The new ICANN initiative (IDN TLDs) is simply an extension so that even the TLD / ccTLD part can be in other languages. This is not problem for us and we will also support it in our domain name software products as and when it becomes a reality.
For more information please see the ICANN documentation on IDNs

Here is a quick tip! You can sort the domains in Domain Punch Pro in order of the domain extensions (TLD or ccTLD) by simply clicking on the # column (click twice to sort in reverse order).
This can be turned off from the Application Settings option in the Config tab. If this is turned off the # click will sort domains in the original insertion order.

The Windows version of SEO Lab Pro supports creating PDF reports.
So, how do you create similar PDF reports using the Mac OS X version?
The Mac OS X version doesn’t support direct PDF reports, but you can create PDF outputs using the native print menu option. All the data table displays within the software can be printed into PDF.
You can also right click (or ctrl-click) within any of the display lists and use the menu option to copy the table to the Mac paste-board. Then paste the data into your favorite spreadsheet or text editor to create your own formatted reports.

We have updated the following domain name portfolio management software products.
For Watch My Domains Pro, it is only a simple maintenance release.
Domain Finder (the tool in Watch My Domains ISP and Domain Punch Pro that identifies available domain names) will now work faster and better. It will also automatically identify the invalid IP addresses (for DNS based lookups).
The “domain name finder” checks if a domain has a valid A (DNS) record as a first step while deciding if the domain is registered or not. If it doesn’t find a valid IP address, it will do a whois lookup. This minimizes the number of whois lookups and also increases the speed of lookups. Also, this method will appeal to people who are paranoid about their domain name searches.
In the earlier builds the above method had a problem if you used OpenDNS for your DNS or if your ISP automatically resolved all domain names. The fix was to manually add the OpenDNS IPs to the invalid IPs list. After this update, you need not do it manually.

If you have a lot of domain names managed through Watch My Domain ISP, you probably make use of domain categories to group them.
Any domain category you create in Watch My Domains ISP is stored on the database using the following Boolean field name.
GRP_<category name>
For example, if you have a category called “Business Domains”, the corresponding field will be
GRP_Business Names
Any domain that belongs to “Business Domains” will have the above field value set to TRUE.
With the above information, you can construct SQL queries. Here is an example query that lists all domains that do not belong to the “Business Domains” category.
SELECT * FROM [Domains] WHERE ([GRP_Business Domains] <> 1 OR [GRP_Business Domains] IS NULL)
You have to do the NULL check because the value may not be set for many domains.
You can also do multiple checks. The following will list all domains that do not belong to the “Business Domains” and “Important Domains”
SELECT * FROM [Domains] WHERE ([GRP_Business Domains] <> 1 OR [GRP_Business Domains] IS NULL) AND ([GRP_Important Domains] <> 1 OR [GRP_Important Domains] IS NULL)
