Your most valuable digital asset.
WHY IT MATTERS MOST
The domain carries your website, your email and your identity. Losing it takes all three, and recovery may be impossible.
THE ESSENTIALS
Registered in the business name, not an individual's and not a developer's Auto-renewal enabled, with a valid card Registrar lock on Contact email on a domain we do not host, so a suspension does not make notices unreachable Two-factor authentication on the registrar account
THE REGISTRANT RECORD
This is what establishes ownership in a dispute. If it names a former developer or employee, resolve that now while relationships are good.
DEFENSIVE REGISTRATIONS
Register the obvious variants of your name and redirect them to your site. It prevents impersonation and typo-squatting.
RENEWAL
Consider registering for several years. Fewer renewal events means fewer chances of an accidental lapse.
WHAT TO RECORD
Where the domain is registered, the renewal date, and the login, kept somewhere other than the hosting account.
IF IT EXPIRES
Open a ticket immediately. Every day matters.
