Domain name and hosting: what to check before you pay

Promotional prices, commitment period, renewal, domain ownership: the points to check.

The domain must be in your name

The domain name (your-company.com) is the address of your website and your email. Insist that it is registered in your company’s name, with access you can recover.

Reading a hosting price

Hosting providers often display a reduced monthly price that only applies if you pay several years in advance. Always check: the commitment period, the total actually paid today and the renewal price.

Renewal

After the first period, the price often goes up. Note the renewal date and amount to plan ahead and avoid your website or email going offline.

“Free” domain

Some plans include the domain for the first year. In that case it must not be charged a second time, but its renewal will be paid.

Our practice

We check official prices when preparing the quote, distinguish promotion, term, total and renewal, and favour a 12-month term when available.
