Why this matters
The person editing a website does not automatically own its domain or customer account.
Step by step
- Identify the domain registrant, billing contact, hosting account owner and website maintainer separately.
- Keep registration and recovery contacts under the appropriate owner’s control; document which changes collaborators may request.
- Confirm you can renew and recover the domain without depending solely on an external designer.
Keep the result of the final check and any unresolved question with your project records.
Availability depends on the product, permissions and management agreement. Use the existing support conversation for the same issue.
