Can I loose control of my web site?

No.  You build your web site pages on a local computer and then upload or publish your site to a hosting service or ISP like eXpertGenealogy.com. If you wish to move your web site to another hosting service, you simply publish your web site to the new hosting service.

Can I loose control of my domain name?

No.  When you register a domain name (like www.yourName.com), you establish a username and password with the domain registrar (eg. www.name4ever.com). You will specify that your domain name is redirected or forwarded to your site at eXpertGenealogy.com/yourName. If you choose to move your web site to another hosting service in the future, you simply use your password to change the forwarding address to whatever you want.

What if eXpertGenealogy.com goes out of business?

Team Approach Limited was incorporated in 1976 and owns and operates eXpertGenealogy.com. The high web traffic ranking of eXpertGenealogy.com ensures that it is a valuable asset that will not be terminated. In addition, ongoing revenues exceed ongoing operational costs and will sustain the operation of the web site for the future.

In fact, the web site hosting is separate from the operation of eXpertGenealogy.com. Web site hosting is provided by theHostingService.com. In the unlikely event that Team Approach Limited or eXpertGenealogy.com were to fail, your web site would continue to be hosted at theHostingService.com and after your service period expires, you could continue to renew your hosting service for the future. If you wanted to transfer your web site to another hosting provider, you can simply transfer your domain name and then publish your web site elsewhere. Entrenet Communications Inc. is the owner of theHostingService.com and would be pleased to provide services to you directly. Information about Team Approach Limited is at www.teamapproach.ca.
