Do I own my website and domain?
The questions to ask any web designer about who registers your web address, who owns it, and who looks after hosting, email and updates.
Who owns my website and domain?
You should know before you agree a price. Ask any web designer who registers your web address (your domain), who owns it and what it costs to renew. Then ask where the site is hosted, whether business email on your own domain is included, and who makes changes after launch. Put the same questions in your quote request to us.
Four things to get clear
The build is only part of the picture. Before you agree a price, ask what happens after the site goes live.
- Domain: who registers your web address, who owns it and what does it cost to renew?
- Hosting: where will the site be hosted, and what does that cost each month or year?
- Email: is a business email address on your own domain included, or is it a separate cost?
- Updates: who makes changes after launch, how do you ask for them and how are they charged?

Common questions
What is a domain?
Your web address, such as mybizonline.ai. It is registered and renewed separately from the website itself, so ask who registers it, who owns it and what it costs to renew.
What should I ask a web designer about ownership?
Ask who registers and owns your domain, where the site is hosted, whether business email on your domain is included and who makes changes after launch.
