Be sure that YOU – not your web designer – are listed as the owner of your domain name. Also be sure you know the company that holds your domain name “title” (registration. Once you’ve paid off your care, do you want someone else to hold its title? Probably not.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Know how to access the actual web site, the way your designer does. This means at least having a logon and password and knowing how to use it and also know the hosting company that has your web site. Many companies have a \u201ccPanel\u201d (control panel, similar to the Windows control panel but different content); you need its URL and the user ID and password.<\/p>\n

If your site suddenly goes down, is running very slowly or has other problems, you need to know who to contact \u2013 the problem may be with that hosting company\u2019s computer.<\/p>\n
