The most expensive website problem we fix has nothing to do with code: a business that cannot access the domain registered years ago by a developer who has moved on.
Own your domain in your own account
Register the domain under a company email address you control and add your developer as a collaborator. Never the other way round.
- Company-owned registrar account
- Auto-renew enabled
- Registration reminders in a shared calendar
Match hosting to traffic, not to fear
A brochure site does not need a dedicated server. Reliable shared or managed hosting with SSL, daily backups and responsive support is enough for most businesses.
“Whoever controls the domain controls the business online. Make sure that is you.”
Keep a handover document
Domain registrar, hosting login, DNS records and email provider written down in one secure place saves days when something breaks.
