Your domain is your online identity - it belongs to you and should always remain under your control. Here is how we handle domains depending on your situation.
Option 1: We Purchase and Manage the Domain for You
If you don't already have a domain, we can register and manage it on your behalf. This is the simplest option - we handle everything including registration, renewal, and any DNS changes needed during and after your project.
The domain is registered in your name and always belongs to you. We strongly recommend this approach because it gives you full control at all times - if you ever need to make changes, move to a different provider, or work with another team in the future, you have complete access to your own domain.
Option 2: You Already Have a Domain
If you already own a domain registered with a provider such as GoDaddy, Papaki, Hostinger, or any other registrar, you keep it exactly where it is. We don't need access to your registrar account.
What we do need is a simple DNS change - specifically updating the nameservers or adding specific DNS records to point your domain to your hosting. We will guide you through this step by step - it typically takes less than 5 minutes and no technical knowledge is required.
Our Recommendation: Keep Your Domain With Us
We strongly recommend that your domain is managed through our agency account. Here is why:
-
You always have full control and ownership of your domain
-
DNS changes, renewals, and technical configurations are handled instantly by our team without waiting on you
-
No risk of accidental misconfiguration on your end
-
Renewals are managed proactively - no risk of your domain expiring without warning
-
Any technical issue related to your domain is resolved faster when we have direct access
Your domain always belongs to you regardless of where it is managed. If at any point you want it transferred to your own registrar account, we handle the transfer upon your request - no questions asked.
Transferring Your Domain
If your domain is currently managed by us and you want to move it to your own registrar account, simply contact us and we will initiate the transfer process. Domain transfers typically take 5-7 days to complete depending on the registrar.
If you have a domain elsewhere and want to transfer it to us for easier management, we can handle that as well.
