Your website should not become a hostage to its builder.
Our preferred setup keeps the domain, hosting account, billing relationship and production access under the client or agency that is meant to control them.
Who should control what?
| Asset | Preferred owner/control |
|---|---|
| Domain | The intended registrant/client or the agency if that is its established operating model. |
| Hosting | The client or agency that is meant to control production and billing. |
| Paid third-party services | The party responsible for the subscription and future renewals. |
| Primary credentials | The account owner. We prefer not to receive them unless genuinely necessary. |
| Final deliverable | Defined by the project agreement, including any third-party licences/components. |
We can send the link. You can buy directly.
Where practical, WebAgencyOn recommends that the final client or agency contracts domains, hosting and other paid third-party services directly with the provider. You enter billing, identity and account information with that provider rather than sending it through us.
This reduces unnecessary handling of sensitive purchasing data and keeps renewal notices, invoices and ownership records with the party actually responsible for the service.
If a recommended link is ever an affiliate or referral link, that relationship should be disclosed. The external provider’s own billing, privacy and service terms still apply.
Preserve before replacing.
A preview is not a lock-in mechanism.
A private review environment may be used before launch. Final deployment goes to the production infrastructure agreed for the project. The review environment is not intended to become an unavoidable dependency.
