Registrant in your name
The legal owner is you or your company, not a freelancer or supplier.
Domain ownership
You own your domain, and we make sure it stays that way
Too many businesses discover that a developer, an agency or a previous host registered their domain in someone else’s name. We help you check and fix it.

How do I know I own my domain?
Look up the domain’s registrant and the account that controls it. If your name and an email you control are not on both, someone else may be able to change or move it. We can audit this for you.
Control is what counts
Ownership is about who can change the domain, not only whose name is on a record.
Shared access, safely
Developers and agencies get access they need without holding the keys.
Records you can show
Clear records of who owns and manages each domain.

Frequently asked questions
My developer registered my domain. What now?
We help you ask for a transfer to an account you control. Most are happy to cooperate.
