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.
