Website safety guide

How to keep a business website from disappearing

Websites usually disappear for boring reasons: expired domains, lost hosting access, unpaid renewals, broken DNS, hacked files, or backups nobody can restore.

Checklist

What to check first.

  • Keep domain ownership under the business, not a vanished contractor
  • Store registrar, hosting, DNS, and CMS access safely
  • Use two-factor authentication where possible
  • Keep a verified backup path outside the live site
  • Document who receives renewal notices
  • Test contact forms after major changes
  • Have a recovery contact before an emergency
