CSV Importer

The CSV Importer allows you to import all of your domain data into DomainMOD using a CSV template. This is a brand new feature as of DomainMOD v4.19, but all testing has gone very well, and I've personally imported quite a few test CSV files with 100% accuracy. Keep in mind that the CSV Importer only imports new domains, it does not update domains that are already in your DomainMOD database.

You can import as little or as much domain information as you want. Technically you can fill in nothing but a list of domains, and it will import just fine, but DomainMOD will need to create a bunch of generic Assets for you. It's ok though, even if you go this route it's pretty easy to update the information that DomainMOD creates for you.

Regardless of how well testing has gone so far, we always recommended that you perform a full backup of your existing DomainMOD database before attempting a CSV Import, just in case something goes wrong and you need to recover.

Usage

Once logged into DomainMOD, click Domains in the main menu and then click on the CSV Importer button. You will then be walked through how to import your domain data using our CSV Import Template.
