Own your turf!
In the last 12 months, we has helped several clients who completely lost access to their active website because their web designer ghosted them. Only then, did these businesses realise that they didn’t have admin access to any online property. This can be a very upsetting and stressful situation for any business or organisation. Sometimes, it’s simply impossible to take back control. One local business didn’t have access to any of their website, domain or email hosting at all!
No matter the size of your business or organisation, make sure you always have the highest admin access to all your online platforms. If you have multiple platform administrators, review their access rights regularly. People come and go and it’s easy to lose track of who can access what.
Take a look at this (non-exhaustive) list of the most common online properties and make sure you have admin rights to them :
Domain Name hosting,
Website Hosting,
Email Hosting,
Online Payment platforms (Stripe, Paypal, etc)
Accounting Software (Zoho Books, Sage, Quickbooks, etc)
Content Management System (Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, etc)
Social Media accounts
Online Business listings
At Ocrélys, we make sure that our clients always have the highest admin access to all their online accounts. We want to empower you and make you a savvy owner of your digital estate. We aim to build trust and make the web a safe place for all users.
