Managing Your Domains
Often times, domain consumers fail to understand the importance of managing ones own domain. There are many factors to consider when choosing a registrar, such as price, related domain services, customer service, reliability, etc. The ability to properly manage your domain and trust your domains' registrar is a key factor that is often overlooked. Managing entails modifying and updating the administrative, technical, billing contacts, domain name servers, your password, contact email, and renewals. If this information is not properly updated, then you take a huge risk in losing your domain forever. Buy Domains has an excellent interface that allows you to manage all these and more, real time, any time. We call this interface your Control Panel. The Control Panel allows YOU to take total control of your domain. In addition, we provide you with 24x7x365 customer and technical support to help you along the way. To learn more, please visit our Control Panel info page.
