Business-controlled accounts make renewals, support, recovery and a future provider change far less disruptive.
Keep control of the essential accounts
- Domain registration
- Hosting or website platform
- Business email administration
- Analytics and search tools
- Payment, booking and other operational services
Document access and recovery
Store the account owner, renewal date, billing contact, recovery method and support route in a secure record controlled by the business.
Know what the handover contains
- Website administration access
- Agreed website files or available export
- DNS and launch notes
- A record of licensed and third-party dependencies
Distinguish deliverables from licenses
Ownership of the agreed website work does not transfer third-party fonts, stock imagery, software, plugins or hosted platforms beyond their license terms.
Complete these checks before launch
- Confirm billing and renewal contacts
- Test recovery details
- Remove temporary access that is no longer required
- Name the person allowed to approve technical changes
