Losing Access to Your Domain Can Be More Serious Than Losing Your Website Design

A domain can become one of a business's most important digital assets, connected to its website, email addresses, marketing materials, search presence and customer communications all at once.

A business may spend years building recognition around a domain. Losing control of it can disrupt the website, email and customer access simultaneously, which is why keeping the registration and recovery information under the business's own control matters.
