Change Your Domain Details Right After Buying

We all buy and sell domains on a daily basis and frequently the domains are not updated after the purchase. Buyer forgets or puts off changing the new owner information, or dns, thus still allowing the previous owner to earn the parking revenue. As strange as it may sound, but this situation is very common and frequently even leads to conflicts and losses, for example then a domainer realizes he doesn’t control the domain he purchased because he didn’t change the whois and the domain expired.

Always take this as a rule: right after you buy a domain first thing you do is change contact details (some registrars don’t do that for you automatically after the push, like Dotster, for example), change dns and add the domain to your parking accounts and to your domains list. Keep tracks of all your purchases and sales.

Do it now, thank me later ;)

    You hit the nail on the head with this post.

    I have also made this kind of mistake where I have bought several of the without changing the domain name ownership straight away on the day the domain name was send to my account but I did it two day laiter.

    I hope that the domainers which read this article will make sure that all the domain names they own are in their ownership.
