Think You Control Your Domain Name? Think Again!
Butch Pujol

Let me ask you some questions that may sound "obvious" but can have downright scary answers. Did you buy your domain name from a service? Do you know who is in control of your domain name? Have you done a "Whois" search to find out? The answer may very well shock you!

Buying a domain name is a very easy thing to do. But if you buy a domain name without any knowledge of "ownership" vs. "control", you could very well be headed down a bumpy road.

Unfortunately, most Web site owners are unaware that "ownership" does not equate to "control." Just because you paid for your domain name does not mean you have access or authority to make changes, transfers or other necessary functions. But if not you - the owner - who does?

For activities that take a bit more knowledge, like downloading eBooks and setting up a web site, there is plenty of affordable help to be found. Most women have a computer-literate relative or friend who can teach her a few tricks. [Read More]
