Do You Really Own Your Website and Domain?
Short answer
Make sure the domain is registered in your name, you have the login to your hosting, and you can get a full copy of your site and data. Without these, you don’t fully control your website.
Why It Happens
- Domains registered by agencies can be hard to get back.
- No hosting access means you can’t move or fix your site.
- Data locked in tools you don’t control.
What to Do
Check who the domain is registered to today. Ask for your hosting login and a full backup, and keep them somewhere safe.
Checklist
- Register the domain in your name.
- Keep your hosting login.
- Get a full backup of site and data.
- Know when renewals are due.
- Get access handed over at launch.
