Why Domain Name & Hosting Ownership Matters: A Guide to Complete Control
Posted By Pooja Gupta On 01 Aug 2024 20:37:08 Under Videos
In this blog post, we’ll explore three key factors to keep in mind when developing your website:
Domain Name and Web Hosting Ownership: Whether you're using a custom CMS like Custom Colgate CMS or popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla, it’s vital to register your domain name and purchase your own web hosting. This gives you complete control over your online presence.
Maintaining Ownership and Access: If your developer handles the domain and hosting setup for you, make sure the accounts are registered in your name with your contact details. Often, developers might register these assets under their own names, which could create problems if you ever need to switch developers or if communication is lost. Always keep control of these critical components.
Software Service Products Considerations: For those using hosted platforms such as Shopify or proprietary software like News Portal CMS or ePaper CMS, make sure your domain name is registered in your name to protect your brand identity. Also, be aware of how to access and export your website's data so you can retain ownership if you need to move to a different platform.
