Today I have a simple message for you and something I want you to always keep in mind when it comes to your website and your domain name (your www. name), two of your most important business assets.
Your website domain and your website should be owned by YOU. Not the person who built your website and not a domain management company, but you.
You should know the login credentials and be able to access the backend of these biz assets.
You should be able to add and take off administrators on the account.
Your credit card should be paying for those assets (and you should therefore own and have access to them).
These are two VERY important pieces of real estate in your business that you should never give away ownership of.
If you work with a company that wants to manage your assets, always make sure that you're the account owner of everything. Otherwise, you are giving up ownership of two very important business assets, especially your domain name, which is one of a kind.
While this may seem like a *duh* moment, I have heard too many stories from folks who can't access their own websites/domains and need to call an outside company, email an account manager, etc. before they can have access. (Huge red flag 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩)
If you don't own your assets, your homework is to get on that.
Have a great week!
