Control your own Domain Name
Be very careful selecting a web developer who offers a full service where they register your domain, provide hosting, design your site, and do the SEO on it.
I’ve come across too many people who end up with problems especially regarding their domain name because they have a dispute with the developer over something and don’t realise that their website address doesn’t actually belong to them.
My advice is to always register your website URL first, then get a developer to design and host your site. At least this way if you do have a dispute you can redirect your domain to a new host account and you won’t lose your online address.
This is especially important if the domain name is your own name or your business name, or you make most of your income from it, in fact if you can’t afford to lose your domain for any reason then I strongly suggest you follow this advice.
Imagine the cost of litigation to reclaim your URL, or worse, the cost of building a new brand while someone else benefits from your previous efforts. It’s just not worth it so make sure you have an account with a separate registrar.
