#5 - 25 Things Your Webmaster Will Not Tell You

Own Your Own Domain

I hate to see this happen, but unfortunately I still see webmasters who have registered a domain name in their name, or their company name, rather than in the name of the company they are working for.

In other words, you don't actually own or have control over your own domain.

Sometimes this is just an oversight or a result of trying to do things too fast. Whatever the case, you should know who owns your domain, it should be who you think it is, who you want it to be (maybe your formal corporate name?), and it should have a current email address as well as a current regular mailing address associated and registered with it.

And if your domain name is registered through Network Solutions you're paying $20/year more than you have to - I tell all my clients to move their domain registration to Go Daddy at GODADDY. COM.
