You've formed your company, and you've qualified to do
business (if you haven't, see last week's
blog). But more than that, you've engaged a third-party web
designer (not your employee) to create a web site for you.
Furthermore, you had a written contract, you paid the web designer
and the web designer delivered. Your site is hosted and up and
running. You are all set, right?
Do you own your website? Let's talk about that.
There are really two separate issues here. First is the domain
name (e.g. startup-information.com). For purposes of this
discussion, let's assume you did the right thing and registered
your domain with your company as the registrant of the domain. In a
future post, we will discuss issues around domain names in much
more depth.
