Registrant is the owner of the domain
When you purchase a domain name from a trusted domain provider, your domain registrant will always be registered in your company name or personal name, this is very important!
Many a times, your domain is registered by your marketing team, 3rd party marketing agency or your own IT team, and managed by them. What happens when they leave and they don’t hand over properly? This is where domain registrant come in handy, where you can reach out to the registrar to get help to obtain the domain ownership if any of these parties are non contactable.
Importance of buying from good domain providers
There are many providers that simply use their organisation’s information as the registrant, and that is very detrimental to your business. Run a whois on any of their client’s domain listed in the provider’s portfolio page for reference.
