Who's the Master of Your Domain?


What if you woke up this morning to discover your domain name has... disappeared? Likely you would make this discovery because your website is down, or perhaps your email isn't working.

Or what if you are contracting for a new website and have no idea how to wrangle your domain name for your new website designer?

Recently a client I haven't worked with for several years wrote to ask if I knew the whereabouts of their domain.

I get it, not everyone is a control freak like me. But every small business owner needs to have control of their unique business domain name.

If you aren't sure where your domain is registered, or under whose name, you can find that out here: whois.icann.org/en (or if it's a .ca domain, cira.ca/ca-domains/whois). If your domain has private registration, you may not be able to view the name of the registered owner. But at least you can find out the domain registrar and can contact them through their support channels.
