Understanding the continuity and security of your online presence is essential, especially in unforeseen circumstances such as the closure of a domain selling entity like TCF Ventures LLC. This guide aims to address any concerns and questions you might have regarding the fate of your domain(s) should TCF Ventures LLC, for any reason, cease operations.
Key Points to Understand:
-
TCF Ventures LLC vs. Domain Registrars: First, it’s crucial to distinguish between a domain seller (like TCF Ventures LLC) and a domain registrar. While TCF Ventures LLC facilitates the sale of domains, the actual registration and management of these domains are handled by accredited domain registrars. This means that TCF Ventures LLC acts as an intermediary, aiding clients in finding and purchasing domains, but the domains themselves are registered with and managed by third-party registrars.
-
Safety and Control of Your Domain: Regardless of TCF Ventures LLC's operational status, your domain remains registered with the domain registrar until its registration period expires. Your domain is governed by the terms and conditions of the registrar, ensuring its safety and control remain with you, the domain owner.
-
Access to Your Domain: In the event that TCF Ventures LLC discontinues its services, you would still have full access to your domain through the registrar’s platform. Prior to any such event, TCF Ventures LLC would provide instructions on how to directly manage your domain with the registrar, including how to renew your domain registration, update DNS settings, and make any necessary changes to your domain’s contact information.
-
Renewals and Transfers: Your ability to renew, transfer, or make any changes to your domain does not depend on TCF Ventures LLC once the domain is registered. These actions can be performed directly through the registrar if we are no longer available. We recommend ensuring that your contact information is always up-to-date with the registrar to receive timely notifications regarding your domain.
-
Preventive Measures and Recommendations:
- Documentation: Keep a record of your domain registration details, including the registrar’s name, your domain registration date, and expiration date.
- Backup: Maintain a backup of your website’s data and email associated with your domain as a standard practice.
In Conclusion:
The stability and control of your domain remain intact and secure with the domain registrar, independent of TCF Ventures LLC's operational status. We commit to transparency and will provide ample guidance and support to our clients in navigating any transitions smoothly.
