Why Parting Pro Requests Delegate Access Instead of Owning Domains

Key reasons for requesting delegate access to your website domain

Parting Pro does not take ownership of website domains. Instead, we request delegate access. We advise our Parting Pro partners to set up an account with a domain registrar (like GoDaddy, Bluehost, etc.), and then grant access to those who need it.

Read below to understand why we don't own other business domains.

  1. Ownership and Control

    • Client Autonomy: The business retains full ownership and control of their domain, ensuring they can make changes or transfer it as needed without dependency on our agency.

    • Trust and Transparency: Clients are more likely to trust our agency when they know their domain remains under their control, fostering a positive and transparent relationship.

  2. Legal and Ethical Considerations

    • Legal Issues: Owning a client's domain can lead to potential legal disputes, especially if the relationship sours. Clients might claim you are holding their domain hostage.

    • Ethical Practices: It's ethically more sound to allow businesses to maintain control over their own domain, promoting good business practices and reputation.

  3. Business Continuity

    • Avoiding Dependency: If a business decides to change their service provider, having us own their domain can make the transition difficult and contentious, potentially disrupting their online presence.

    • Reduces Risk: If our agency experiences issues (e.g., financial problems, business closure), the client's domain and online presence remain unaffected and under their control.

  4. Simplifies Processes

    • Easier Management: Delegated access allows us to manage DNS settings and make necessary updates without transferring ownership, simplifying administrative processes.

    • Clear Boundaries: Clear separation of ownership and management responsibilities reduces confusion and streamlines operations.

  5. Client Education and Empowerment

    • Empowers Clients: Educating clients on domain management empowers them and helps them understand the importance of maintaining control over their own digital assets.

    • Builds Knowledge: Clients gain valuable knowledge about domain management, which can help them in future business decisions and interactions with other service providers.

  6. Technical Benefits

    • Security: Clients can maintain their own security settings and protocols, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities from external ownership.

    • Flexibility: Delegated access allows our agency to perform necessary technical tasks without the complications of transferring ownership or dealing with registrar-specific issues.

  7. Cost Efficiency

    • Avoid Additional Costs: Transferring domain ownership can incur additional costs and administrative overheads, which are avoided with delegate access.

    • Focus on Core Services: Our agency can focus on providing core services and value-added solutions rather than dealing with the complexities of domain ownership and transfer processes.

By using delegate access, both our agency and our clients can enjoy a smoother, more secure, and mutually beneficial working relationship.
