What's the best way to manage over 200 domain names? I want to get a landing page set up on each.

I have been managing multiple domains/sites for my clients since a few years now and I think the easiest and best way to do it in your case would be setting up simple WordPress sites on each one of them and managing them with something like ManageWP(https://managewp.com/) .

If they're niche domains, you can monetize them through ads or use them as affiliate sites. Selling them can also be also an option. If you can get the sites to look fairly nice and if they are niche domains, you can sell them on sites like Flippa(https://flippa.com/) . Overall, you have many options.

I'd be glad to help you in detail through a call if you want.

About once a week, I run across a domain owner who has domain names gathering dust and who is hoping for an idea that will be easy to implement, make money, and require little maintenance.

In reality, though, that's backwards. Start with a business idea. Evaluate whether you can make that business succeed. Then consider which domain(s) will best help you brand that idea and market that business.

Don't look at your domains and invent justifications for their existence.

Running a business -- let alone 200 mini sites -- is far from easy. It requires much time, stress, money, and commitment ... probably in excess of what you've put into those 200 domains so far.

Maybe those 200 domains deserve to be developed. But unless the idea precedes the domains, you're more likely to be deluding yourself when you try to convert them into websites.

Start with 1. If you can make 1 website work for you, expand to 2. Forget 200 for now.

Websites and Online Marketing are two very complicated subject. Domain name is only one very simple variable. If you only have a domain name with a landing page and you don't do anything with it, then you probably won't have any traffic.

It's not because something is online that people will come to it. You have to put effort and energy into it if you want anybody to see it.

For WordPress, you could run a multi-site installation that would allow you to manage all of your website in one dashboard. Giving you the flexibility to manage a lot of websites inside one single interface.

Regarding your domains, if you only put a landing page, without any marketing, there is a low probability that people will ever come. You should cut down the list to a smaller number. A number of website which you can manage, market and write for.

I'd be happy to help you on the phone if you have any further questions.

Domain management, or domain name management, refers to the ongoing tasks of keeping a personal or corporate domain (or domains) stable, secure, and able to support related websites. The domain name not only establishes its owner’s presence on the Internet, it also serves as a portal to a business or personal website designed to serve that owner’s unique needs. Site owners may be tempted to focus all their attention on setting up and maintaining the website itself, but managing the domain is a key factor in keeping the website live and accessible. Securing a domain requires only a few steps. Finding the right domain name can take some time and thought, plus the help of online tools to perform a domain name search and check availability, but once a name has been picked, all that’s needed is to register it either with an independent registrar or a web hosting company for a term of one or multiple years. Once registered, the name is assigned to a host’s primary and secondary nameservers, which point the domain to a website.
Individual users and small businesses might find that a single domain name is all that is needed to establish an online presence and develop a brand. Larger corporations and those with several different business interests may need multiple domains. Many registrars recommend buying as many related domain names as possible to keep them from being used by competitors and to capture all possible variants that might be typed in during a search—including misspellings. That can result in a large portfolio of domain names, some of which may never be used. Whether a user buys one domain or many, though, ongoing management keeps them updated and working to support the websites they serve.
Domain management can take various forms, depending on a domain owner’s individual goals and needs. But, in general, a domain owner needs to be able to perform essential tasks such as renewing or terminating domain name registration, determining nameservers and hosting providers, and making changes to domain names if needed. Because a domain establishes its owner’s online identity, managing that domain can also include checking for similar names that might be harmful to a brand’s reputation or authority, or tracking analytics to see how it performs in searches. Another key part of domain management involves security—validating IP addresses associated with the domain and checking for suspicious access to the domain.
Essential domain management tools are available either through the registrar, or they can be integrated into the control panel provided by a web hosting service. These tools offer a graphical, non-technical way to manage settings related to maintaining all the domains on a user’s account. These DIY management tools allow users to handle key tasks such as renewing or terminating domain registrations, validating IP addresses, and configuring nameservers. A variety of paid and free domain management tools online can also handle essential tasks such as registering and renewing domains, managing multi-domain portfolios, and tracking domain performance. Some may also include domain name generators and other tools for managing multiple registrars and nameservers, and for keeping domains secure. Available through the cloud or downloadable to a user’s own desktop, these tools allow users to control all aspects of domain management on their own. Domain management can also be outsourced—this is an appealing option for users with multiple domains or corporations with a large domain portfolio.
Notable domain management tools are as follows:

2. Watch My Domains SED For Web Servers (https://watchmy.domains/sed/)
3. DomainBrain 2 (https://domainbrainapp.com/)
4. Domainer (http://www.ragesw.com/products/domainer.html)
5. DNS Portfolio (http://www.dnsportfolio.com/)
6. Efty (http://www.efty.com/)

Because businesses of all sizes often buy multiple related domain names with different extensions, they can end up with a large portfolio of domains, some of which may lie dormant for long periods of time or never be used at all. Others may be associated with different nameservers or with hosting accounts that have varying terms of renewal. To manage a large and diverse collection of domains, corporate users may turn to domain management services, which offer a variety of service plans for tracking and maintaining all the active and inactive domains in the portfolio. Domain management services use their own suite of domain management tools to handle domain registrations and renewals, review the portfolio and delete unused and unneeded domains, and maintain domain security. With sophisticated analytics for tracking unauthorized uses, site performance, and other key metrics, these services can work with clients to address issues and make changes to existing domains or the portfolio. While domain management services are widely used by larger businesses, they can also be a useful solution for busy domain owners running small- or medium-sized – businesses, or even individuals who do not want to manage domains themselves.
In the end I would like to add that a domain name secures a user’s “realm of authority” on the Internet and makes it possible for individuals and businesses to create an online presence. Whether you are a solopreneur, a small business, or a large corporation, managing your domain or your domain portfolio—is as important as managing your website. For users of all kinds, domain management tools and services can help keep domains secure and stable, long after they are purchased and registered.
