WEBSITE OWNERSHIP
Website ownership and handover checklist
Know who controls the important parts of your website before changing providers or asking someone to make updates.
Work through this with the people who manage the website. A tick means you have checked that item; it is not a security certification. Last updated 13 September 2026.
Checks are saved only in this browser tab’s session. Nothing you tick is sent to our team. Do not write passwords or private customer details here.
Domain and account access
Hosting and technical responsibilities
Content and permissions
Customer-facing connections
Measurement, backups and recovery
Handover and exit
Turn unchecked items into a short handover list
Assign each missing answer to a person and agree a date to resolve it. Do not cancel hosting, remove access or change domain records solely because an item is unclear. First establish what depends on that account.
