Letting pageBuzz Manage your Doman Names
Letting pageBuzz
Manage your Domain Names for $5.00/year
If you are like the majority
of our clients you don't know much about domain registration and
managing websites. Of course using our online tools lets anyone,
even people with no experience manage great websites.
However, every website needs a
domain name and it is one of the things many people forget about.
People tend to buy a name for 2 years and then just forget about
it. The register will notify people by e-mail that the domain
needs to be renewed but after 2 years many people have changed
their email address and forgot to update it in the domain
registry as required.
Obviously if you don't know
the $10 is due you can't pay it and hence, the domain expires and
you lose ownership of it. That is a real problem for businesses
that have been using the name for 2 years and have people
visiting a website that they no longer own. It is also bad for
pageBuzz.com because we lose a hosting customer since the website
has expired and most people don't want to spend another 2 years
rebuilding their business online.
pageBuzz.com can help you
solve that problem for about $5.00 a year. We will manage your
domain name in our own accounts as one of our own domain names.
When the domain is due we will make very effort to contact you to
renew it. Of course we have more at stake since the loss of the
domain means the loss of a hosting customer.
We email everyone with a
domain name that it needs to be renewed. If we do not get a
response we will look in your account, at your website for
alternate contact information, phone number address etc to make
sure every option is exhausted before the domain expires.
Since we have domains being
renewed on a daily basis we won't forget about it. We have
systems in place to insure that names are registered as long as
we can contact the owner.
The small fee we charge is
minimal if your business has any value to you. The benefit could
be the difference between going out of business and staying in
business.
We will manage any domain for
anyone hosted at pageBuzz and do by default on any new signups
that are initiated through our website.
Of course domains can be
registered at any registrar and hosted by any website host, so
some domains would need to be transferred to us to provide that
service. The transfer fee is the same as a 1 year renewal or $14.95
and include one full year added to the domain registration.
In the event you decide to
leave pageBuzz and use another hosting company we will create a
domain management account and give you full control of the domain.
We do not charge any fee to return the domain to you and we do
not hold any domains for any reason. If it is your domain you own
it and you have full rights to it.
We have managed thousands of
domains for clients and we offer the best level of protection
against losing a domain because of domain disputes initiated
because of non responsive contact or expiration because someone
just forgot.
We also offer a level of
privacy. Since all domain registration information is public and
many of our clients work from home they do not want their home
address published and associated with their website. By assigning
the domain to our company the domain information is our corporate
address and has no association with anyones private residence.
There are many domain privacy
services that cost between $15 and $35 a year. However, they only
offer domain mail forwarding and no real point of contact. That
has caused many domain owners grief when attorneys file domain
disputes with ICANN over trademark violations or infringements.
Since the mail forwarded is not always reliable you may never
know that your domain is in danger.
In our case, anyone can look
up your domain and call us directly and we will contact you by
phone in those cases.
There are many things about
domains and the law that most people do not know. It is important
to have someone that does understand and has a reliable
management record in charge of your domain name.
Fortunately, pageBuzz
customers have a great option by allowing us to take the
responsibility of managing their domains. It is something that
every small business should consider.
