Saratoga Springs, NY – September 18, 2018. Brandsight, a provider of next-generation corporate domain management solutions, recently completed its Second Annual Domain Management Survey to measure how domain name professionals are spending their time, the issues that they are currently facing, and their key objectives for the coming year.

Elisa Cooper, SVP of Marketing and Policy, explains, “This year’s survey revealed that for 53% of respondents, managing domain name portfolios has become more difficult. Given the impact of GDPR, along with the desire to right-size portfolios, drive traffic to relevant content, and reduce expenditures, these results confirm what we have been hearing in the market – that companies are still facing a number of domain management challenges.”

Highlights from the Second Annual Brandsight Domain Management Survey include:

• 22% of respondents spend 2-3 days each week managing their portfolios, and 32% spend 4-5 days each week, with a close correlation between portfolio size and the amount of time spent managing the portfolio
• 53% of respondents said that managing their domain name portfolios has become more difficult over the past year
• 88% of respondents said that dealing with the impact of GDPR and the inability to access WHOIS contact information has been a challenge for them
• 81% of respondents said that paring back bloated portfolios has been a challenge for them
• 97% of respondents said that ensuring the security of their domain portfolio is an important goal
• 88% of respondents said that reducing domain management expenditures is an important goal
