Things To Know About Buying Websites
FITSystems is an experienced website development company. Unfortunately we often find ourselves picking up the pieces left behind by less skilled and less reputable companies. To help your company avoid the common pitfalls in website development FITSystems provides a brief guide below.
1. Make sure your domains are registered to you.
In domain jargon this is known as "The Registrant", you want to make absolutely sure you are the registrant of your domains, otherwise there not yours.
2. Register all similar domains.
Domains don't cost much, so if you can, get the .co.uk, .com, .net and .org or your domain. Also consider any abbreviations of your name or offensive alternatives. UKOnline for example, also own the domain UKOffline. They don't use it, but they hold it to stop other people setting up offensive or 'hate sites'.
3. Make sure you know what your paying for.
Some websites are developed with parts which the customer doesn't own, usually the more complex backend stuff such as database management. These sections are protected by the developers intellectual property right. Basically this means you don't own your site, just the use of it. As this means you can't move your website to alternative hosting or get access to the source code you can end up paying extortionate fees for routine website maintenance and hosting.
