Don’t Forget to Keep up to Date With Your Domain Name Register Accounts
Monday, March 30th, 2009Keeping up to date with domain name accounts, or anything else, is a particular problem for me. This came home to roost and bit me firmly in the bum domain at the weekend, as I started to edit one of my websites. Suddenly - no website! My domain name had expired … my subscription to the Domain Name Register for that particular website was past and I hadn’t received notification from the domain name register. Suddenly the penny dropped. When I signed up for that domain, the domain name register had been accessed using an email address that I deactivated several months ago! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
There are lots of little details in running your online business … and keeping up to date with your domain name registrations is one of the more vital ones. One of the hazards of being sucked into too many separate schemes in your early, inexperienced days is that the information overload will lead to you losing sight of many important details: such as, the expiry date of your domain name(s).
Keep your eye on the calendar folks! You don’t want your prized website to be hoovered up by one of the predatory domain name buyers and have it held to ransom.
