Domains are big business.
Domains are big for business.
Regardless of whether you are looking at domain names from the aspect of a domain provider or simply that of a user eg. a company or hobbyist, keeping your domain name is never more important than when you lose it.
Like so many other things you don’t really miss it until it’s gone and if the loss of the domain is down to an incorrect email address, then you won’t get that much sympathy.
Getting people to realise how important updating their email address(es) on a regular basis is not easy. It would be a lot nicer if it were to happen before an issue arose.
Why do I mention this?
I was speaking to Eamon McGrane about this for an article in today’s Irish Times – Alertness needed to stay king of your domain (subscription needed)
Remember to keep your email address up to date for ALL your domain names. If you don’t you risk losing your domain names!
