Summary
Introduction:
Tim Davis introduces the topic of ensuring control over your Joomla website's domain.
Domain Control Importance:
Having control over your domain is essential for maintaining your website, changing name servers, and renewing the domain.
Common Issues:
Problems can arise if someone else, like a third-party developer, registered the domain, making it hard to access or update.
Resolve Ownership Urgently:
It's crucial to sort out domain ownership issues before they lead to significant problems or site downtime.
Using WHOIS.com:
WHOIS.com is a helpful tool to check the registration details of your domain and find out where it is registered.
Understanding WHOIS Results:
The WHOIS search will show details such as the registrar and name servers, helping you identify where your domain is managed.
Registrars and Resellers:
Domains are often registered through resellers of major registrars, which can complicate locating the correct account.
Verifying Information:
Ensure the registration information, especially the email and contact details, is accurate and up to date in your name.
External Email for Security:
Use an external email address for domain registration to ensure you can receive information even if the domain is inaccessible.
Examples and Logging In:
Tim provides examples of different registrars like GoDaddy and Namecheap, demonstrating how to log in and manage domain details.
Tim emphasizes the importance of being proactive in managing your domain to prevent potential issues and ensure smooth operation and control over your Joomla website.
