Q Domain Analytics - Seeing the wood for the trees

Making sense of the amount of data we gather every day is overwhelming. Like in every industry, ours involves collecting and collating data from many sources. Often formatted and presented in different ways. Then trying to make business decisions based on the results.

For Registries and TLDs, keeping up with the day-to-day data is a big job. Never mind tracking, analysing and forecasting the commercial campaigns with their channel partners

iQ Domain Analytics was created because we realised the need for good business intelligence to properly manage and grow a namespace. To run a good business, you need to know the core of your registry.

"Without Domain Analytics, it wouldn’t be possible for us to do what we do - analysing performance of campaigns and quick access to registrars and premium reporting" - Predrag Lešić, CEO .ME Registry

In this article we will give you an overview of the power of iQ Domain Analytics. Trusted by leading TLDs to provide insights into their key metrics.

In future articles, we will deep dive into the individual functionality it offers. Such as campaign tracking, retail price logging, premium name valuation engine and much more.

But first....

In short, it's a platform that collects data from many sources. To analyse and combine them in unique ways to provide rich and detailed reports and insight. The API also enables the Registry to offer enhanced features on their websites, portals and dynamic ads.
