The details will kill you.
Registering a website domain name is cheap and easy. Managing it isn’t.
Mean Dean puts a good spin on the
WashingtonPost’s recent foible in not renewing the domain name it uses for email. His suggestion: “It is this ‘domain monitors’ responsibility to NOT sit around and wait for email, but to actively check the registration information periodically to make sure the domain is still theirs and up-to-date.”
At work, this is one thing that is NOT my job. Our IT consultants are in charge of the domains and hosting. So, much to my surprise, I find that they failed to renew the domain for a ‘mini-site’ I created last year. Whether they failed to do the job Mean Dean identifies, or simply failed to communicate with me, I was down one website for probably a month. The details will kill you!
