In this SAMIT episode, we break down the Registrar, DNS Host, and Web Host. This is one you can share with the business and marketing people on your team.

I'm liking these non-IT technician focused videos. I once worked for a company where a previous employee had set up their own domain reseller and that's who the company had gotten their domains. Luckily he let us transfer while still in talks with the company about payments.

Wow, now that's scary.
We are dealing with a customer right now that let their former IT company own their domain, DNS, hosting, everything. Now they are begging them to give it to them, which likely they will, but they've been using the pressure to try to extort them softly for more services in the meantime.

Thanks! I'm hoping to broaden the audience and make tools that IT staff can either use directly by sharing with management or learn from on how to present to management.

It seems like that is not an uncommon scenario.

Far too often IT is pressured to make business decisions that other business stakeholders should be involved in.

And vice versa, tons of times untrained people with no IT insight or knowledge make all the critical IT decisions and just have the staff classified as IT deal with the mistakes rather than avoiding them.
