There is a new trend where web designers and designing firms insist on geting the domain key.
friends please note that DONO’T disclose your domain key to anyone because then they can apply for domain transfer. Which essentially means they control your domain name.
So what so ever reason is there is a fallout they can hold your domain name back for ransom or even turn it in to their own property.
Most have hosting contracts with us but if the designer firm insists on hosting be transfered to their server they don’t need to domain key. Just mail us the name servers and within 1 hour the site will run from their server.
For us it really doesn’t matter because we earn about Rs.20 per domain registration and renewals so if the domain is transfered out its insignificant for us. Rather those customers would get a heart burn if there is a fallout with designer on payment terms, comissions or improper execution of project.
Your domain name is your property keep it safe. If you lose it you might never get it back.
