Business owners often do not own or control their domain name, leaving their website, email, and brand vulnerable to loss or ransom if the relationship with the developer/agency ends or account access is lost.

Existing solutions exist (buying domain separately), but many business owners remain unaware or fail to implement best practices due to convenience of bundling or trust in developers. No automated tool to audit domain ownership or enforce proper account control.
