Is Your Domain Secure?
Do you know who owns your domain name? If so, do you know when your domain name is set to expire? If you don't know, keep reading. (And if you do know, keep reading...just to make you thankful you're not in the scenario we're describing.)
We've all had bad days, but many people would confess that losing their domain name ranks pretty near the top on the "Bad Days List."
The day starts like any other. You roll into the office, pull your email and hit "Send/Receive." Nothing happens. You try again, but still nothing. You decide to visit your company's website, but it's not showing up. "That's odd," you think.
And then it hits you. Your domain name is missing.
Upon further investigation, you realize the notices to renew were being sent to a defunct email address. And your day gets worse.
In some cases it is possible to retrieve a domain name, but it's certainly not guaranteed. In some cases your domain name can be snatched up by bottom-feeders who then offer it back to you at...a lot more than you paid for it initially.
Protecting Your Domain Name
NSMC offers automated domain name reservation and renewals. For $15/year, we set up your domain name to be perpetually renewed until you say otherwise. So next time you're thinking about reserving or renewing a domain name, call us. We'll lock it down under your name and ownership, making sure renewals are handled appropriately.
And that's certainly worth the $15/year.
