Making sure your domain registration is in your name and under your control, as well as having your domain with a reputable domain provider, is crucial for any website.

We see these type of issues all too often when people try to transfer their domain to us, or when it comes to renewal time and their old domain provider can no longer be contacted.

Each year you should take a look at your domain and make sure everything is in order. It’s 30 seconds of work to prevent hours of pain down the road.

I also highly recommend that domain registration be kept separate from hosting.. It is less of an issue today with major hosting companies than it was in the past, but I’m not a fan of allowing one company to control my entire online life..

I have an old web development client that lost her domain name when her hosting company/developer decided to stop doing web work and become a construction worker.. As a service he registered domain names for his clients and when he closed up shop everyone of them lost their domain to domain squatters when they expired.. Many lawsuits and lots of drama later she recovered her domain nearly 2 years later..
