Make yourself (your company) the owner of the domain

[subornaakter20]

When outsourcing the creation of a website, the owner of the domain should be you (your company). Usually, the owner of the domain is the person who acquires it, so there are cases where the website production company is the owner.

If a website production company owns the domain, transferring management and maintenance of the website to another company runs the risk of incurring costs for the transfer of ownership or losing the domain's availability.

In addition, domains are renewed periodically, but if the production company that owns them forgets to renew them, the domain will be canceled and the website will no longer be displayed. When marketing list of plumbers requesting the production of a website, be sure to check the contents of the contract and have the company acquire the domain itself for peace of mind.



Don't forget to renew your domain
The domain you acquire has an expiration date, and you need to renew it at regular intervals to continue using it. Therefore, when you acquire a domain, it is important to check the expiration date and renewal date and record this information.

If your domain expires, your website and email services may stop working, so be sure to renew it regularly.



Protect your domain information
When you acquire a domain, personal and corporate information such as the owner's name, address, phone number, and email address is registered in the "Whois" database. This information is publicly available and anyone can easily look up your Whois information using domain acquisition services, making you a target for spam and scams.

If you do not want the information published in Whois to be known by third parties, set up a "Whois information disclosure agent." A Whois information disclosure agent can publish the domain owner's Whois information instead of the information from the domain acquisition service.

Most domain registration services basically allow you to set up Whois information disclosure on your behalf, but be aware that some domain registration services may not allow this setting.
