DNAccess
DNAccess works on domain names as assets — how they are held, how they are protected, what happens when one is lost, and what a name is actually worth. Five areas of practice sit behind that, and they overlap more than they look like they do.
Domain names and portfolio strategy. Acquisition, registrar and registry mechanics, DNS configuration, and the decisions that govern a portfolio over time — which names justify renewal, which justify anything more, and which should be allowed to go. That is the same question this entire reference is organised around, which is why the eighteen strategy profiles are written the way they are.
Domain name security and protection. The configuration that keeps a valuable name where it belongs: registrar locks, transfer authorisation, registry lock (a lock applied at the registry itself rather than at the registrar, which is what stops an unauthorised transfer from being processed at all), DNSSEC, and the hygiene around the registrar account that is usually the real attack surface. Domain theft is not a hypothetical risk in this market, and the names most worth stealing are exactly the ones left on a default registrar configuration for a decade.
Recovery of stolen and lost domains. Work on names that have already gone — hijacked through a compromised registrar account, transferred without authorisation, lost when a registration lapsed and was caught by someone else, or taken in a dispute. Recovery is part evidence-gathering and part procedure: establishing what the ownership record actually shows, working the registrar and registry channels in the right order, and using the formal routes where they apply. What decides the outcome more than anything else is how quickly the loss is noticed and how well the original registration is documented.
Domain name forensic research. Reconstructing the history of a name from the records that survive — registration and WHOIS history, DNS records over time, hosting, archived versions of whatever ran on it, and the chain of transfers between holders. This is the work behind establishing who controlled a domain on a particular date, which matters in ownership questions and in any acquisition where the seller's account of a name needs checking against something other than the seller.
Domain name due diligence and appraisals. Due diligence is checking a name before money moves: whether the seller can actually transfer it, whether the registration is clean, whether the string carries trademark exposure, what the name was used for previously, and whether any of that history is still attached to it. A domain with a spam or malware past can arrive with reputational baggage that is invisible at the point of sale and expensive afterwards. Appraisal work is deliberately the same discipline in reverse — a documented method with its assumptions and comparable sales stated, so the reasoning can be examined. This site argues that nobody can tell you what a domain is worth to the one buyer who wants it, and that position holds here: an appraisal is an argued estimate with its workings shown, not a measurement.
Hartzer Consulting
Hartzer Consulting is the search side of the work — SEO and search engine marketing, across both paid and organic strategy. A developed domain is only worth building if it can be found, and that is a different specialism from owning the name.
Technical SEO. The crawlability, indexation, architecture, and on-page work that determines whether a site can rank at all, as distinct from the content work that determines whether it deserves to. It covers how a site is structured and internally linked, how it is rendered and served, how duplicate and near-duplicate pages are resolved, and how a search engine's crawler spends the finite attention it gives any one site. It also covers migrations — moving a site to a new platform, a new structure, or a new domain without losing what it had built, where the redirect map, the canonical strategy, the DNS cutover and the registrar mechanics all have to be right simultaneously. It is the discipline behind every gate listed on this site's process page.
Search engine marketing, paid and organic. Search strategy for businesses, which is the background that makes commercial sense of a keyword cluster rather than treating volume as the only number that matters. A term with high volume and no commercial intent is not the same asset as a term with a tenth of the volume and a buyer behind it, and on a developed domain that difference decides whether the site earns anything at all. Paid search is also the fastest way to find out what a keyword is actually worth before committing a year to ranking for it.
Why this service exists
Domain parking as a business collapsed. AdSense for Domains ended, the largest parking operators wound down or shrank sharply, and a great many domain investors were left holding names that had gone from producing a small income to producing nothing while still costing a renewal fee every year.
The obvious answer — build something on them — has been badly served. The market offers thin minisites that are now a documented policy risk, platform builders that lock the site to a subscription, and lander products that vanish the month you stop paying. What it has not offered is a real, substantive, portable site that the owner owns outright and can revert to a for-sale page in one step.
That gap is what this service occupies. The method behind it comes out of more than twenty years working in SEO and digital marketing, and every build is held to current SEO best practice rather than to whatever was good enough a decade ago. The standards a client's domain is built to are the standards our own domains are built to.
The reference exists for a related reason. Owners deciding what to do with a domain are choosing between eighteen options and are usually shown one, by whoever is selling it. A reference that covers all eighteen — including the ones that cost nothing and the ones that end with the name gone — is more useful than another sales page, and it is the only honest context in which to describe a paid build.
Editorial policy
This is a reference published by a company that sells one of the strategies it describes. That is a conflict of interest, and pretending otherwise would be the least credible thing on the site. It is handled with rules that apply to every page.
- Claims are sourced. Where a figure appears, it is attributed to the organisation that published it and dated, so the reader can check the source and see how old it is. Where a claim circulates widely in the industry without anything behind it, the page says the evidence does not exist rather than repeating the claim in softer words.
- No invented figures. Nothing here is estimated for effect, rounded up to sound better, reconstructed from memory, or presented as typical because it sounds plausible. If a number cannot be sourced, it is left out and the sentence is rewritten without it.
- Disagreements are reported, not resolved. Where experienced practitioners genuinely disagree — most obviously about whether a live website suppresses inbound purchase inquiries — both positions are stated at their strongest and the disagreement is left standing. Pages do not manufacture a consensus that does not exist, and they do not settle an open question in whichever direction happens to suit the service being sold.
- A strategy can be called a bad choice. Every profile carries a section arguing against its own subject, and several conclude that the strategy is wrong for most domains most of the time. That includes development. A reference that only flatters is a brochure with a table of contents.
Three claims that are common in this market are not made here, because the 2026 evidence contradicts them: that developing a domain makes it sell for more, that schema markup drives AI citations, and that an EntityMap or an llms.txt file produces AI visibility. Where a figure appears anywhere on this site, it is attributed to its source and dated. Where evidence is absent, the page says so.
If something published here is wrong, out of date, or misattributed, the contact page is the place to say so. Corrections are made and the page is updated rather than quietly left standing.
