You might be responsible for creating/maintaining the site, but you don't own their business. Maybe hard to realize now but one day, they may decide to have someone else maintain or host their site. As it is their Web site (and their Domain Name) they should have the right to grab everything, go where they choose, and not have to ask anyone's permission.</p> <p>Another aspect is that the Owner of the Domain Name, is also held legally responsible. Something your clients should be aware of.</p> Mon, 05 Mar 2001 07:51:59 +0000 WebsiteRob comment 1078951 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/server-management/should-webmaster-own-customers-domain-names#comment-1078807 <p>I agree with Justin.</p> <p>IMO the customer owns the domain name.</p> Fri, 02 Mar 2001 03:08:30 +0000 Jaiem comment 1078807 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/server-management/should-webmaster-own-customers-domain-names#comment-1078746 <p>Here's what I do: I make them the administrative contact of the domain name, and make myself the technical contact. That way you have some access to the domain.</p> Wed, 28 Feb 2001 22:24:45 +0000 Justin S comment 1078746 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
