Are You the Master of Your Own Domain?

Richard Gauder April 3rd, 2007

Over 60 % of the companies we visit think they control their own domain name but don’t. The email address that is listed as the administration email of the domain name controls the domain as all emails pertaining to the domain go to that address. Earlier on in the website business it was common that the web designer register the domain and “look after it for the client”. What a mess that has caused! Web companies disappear, go out of business or the kid that built your “jammin” site’s gone to Africa. We’ve never seen something so small cost companies so much if they can’t get their domain back. Reprinting business cards, marketing materials advertising etc. it adds up.
