Admin I’ve been doing accounting website design for numerous years, and often I’m discovering new clients have an entirely avoidable quandary. We get a site designed and geared up for them in a matter of hours, but when the time comes to publish it under the web address it constantly becomes apparent that the prospect doesn’t actually own the domain he or she has been using for years!
Don’t be taken in by this scam. Many web hosts will offer to reserve the domain name for you, then turn around and reserve the domain in their own name in an account that you can’t access. Dealing with a established company is no protection. My biggest competitor does this, and they actually charge people a fee when they leave if they want to take the domain name with them!
