About once a month we seem to be helping clients sort out issues they have with their domain name registration. Typically their domain name was registered with their previous webmaster and the webmaster set themselves up as the administrator.
Many of the webmasters that from the old days are no longer in business and so the clients domain expires or they need to edit DNS and they can't because technically they don't own the domain.
I guess the point of this whole post is:
If you pay someone to register a domain on your behalf, make sure that they make you the Primary Registrant and the Admin Registrant.
If you don't, you may have to pay a guy like me to help you sort it all out.
Don't wait until your domain expires or you need to make a update to your DNS info. find out who the owner of your domain is today.
You can look up the records of the domain by doing a WhoIs look up.
Here are a few links:

You wouldn't purchase a building and put the deed in the contractors name. Don't build a online business that you don't own.
