A few months ago, I wrote a quick tutorial on building a domain portfolio with WordPress e-Commerce. While this advanced solution is a good starting point, it still requires a lot of manual work in setup, data entry and customization. Well, I have good news for those looking for something more straight-forward and easy to implement.
I’ve recently discovered a new, possibly better solution for displaying a domain portfolio within any WordPress page using the My Domain List WordPress plugin which is available at CodeCanyon for $12.
As it turns out, this plugin is a great way to both market your domains for sale and manage your portfolio privately.

Automated Whois Information
One of the key perks of My Domain List is automated retrieval of whois information. This is a great feature which enables you to keep up-to-date on all of your domain information from multiple registrars in one central location.
My Domain List Management
The following data is displayed for all domains within a private domain management page.
- Domain registrar
- Owner name
- Whois creation date
- Ownership change date
- Expiration date
These details can be displayed publicly as part of your domain list table or kept private.
If you would like to manage your portfolio with My Domain List while keeping some domains private you can do that as well. Select the “Unpublish” to set a domain to only be visible through the domain management page.
Your domain list is displayed by placing a shortcode within a post or a page and customizing it to suit your needs, as in this example.
[my-domain-list-portfolio show='owner,extension,registrar']
With this initial release of the plugin there are some features left to be desired (such as domain search and categories), but all the essentials seem to be covered. The UI is well designed for both owner and visitors and the Make Offer process is user-friendly and inviting with a fixed priced domain.
