Critical information to hold onto for your web site

1: The login to the domain registrars hosting your web site domain name (example.com)

2: The login to whereever DNS (domain name servers) are managed for these domains

3: The login to person@example.com e-mail address, and any e-mail address being used as the point of contact for any of these services.

4: The login to the website host.

These are things for which we really don't want a single point of failure.

Losing one's domain name is one of the most serious things that can happen to one's online presence.

Tip: Use a registrar that automatically renews. Paying an extra $10-$20 for another year of a domain you don't want is better than losing forever (or until you pay possibly thousands of dollars) a domain you do want.

Also to check on:

Backup procedures. Do we have backups? Do we know how to access a backup if something goes wrong? Have we tested restoring from backup?

Searched words: 
remember domain names autorenew
