Tip of the Week #5

Own your OWN website!


When getting your website started, make sure that you secure your domain name and hosting directly with a domain registrar.  I’ve heard too many stories about companies who pay their web developers a high monthly fee to host their site, and when they go to stop the service and host their website elsewhere, they find out that they can’t take any of the content with them.

Though there are ways of getting out of these deals without paying outrageous amounts of money, it’s best to avoid this from the get-go.  Ask your web developer questions like, “Who would own my domain name?  Who would own my hosting?  What happens if I want to go to another company later on down the road?”
