Domains, Registration & Expiration
Very recently a longtime client's site went down due to the expiration of his domain. His domain registrar is Go Daddy. His email address was obsolete at the registrar. Our site monitoring utility alerted us the morning his site went down; we notified him within minutes via email and phone.
In a typical year, about two of our client's domains expire without warning. This year, we have already seen two and the year is not yet half over. The consequences of domain expiration are an immediate loss of email and website outage. In some circumstances, especially with the services some notorious registrars, renewing the domain can be a costly, difficult and lengthy process. In one particularly egregious situation, the rightful owner of the domain could not compel this registrar to renew the domain for months.
Beyond the obvious, immediate business disruption and loss of email, which is essentially unrecoverable; Google severely downgrades a site that is offline for any length of time. Overall a grave situation indeed!
How can you protect yourself against this all too common disaster scenario?
An excellent way to avoid this disaster is to is to use Efinitytech's domain registration service. For accounts in good standing; we contact you and ask for how long you would like your domain renewed ahead of time.
The practices of virtually every other registrar are not so client centric. If the registrant email is not current, or if the renewal notice is ignored, even if the domain is set to auto renew; it will often expire, as almost always the credit card will have changed. In this common scenario, the domain simply expires without warning. The resulting chaos, loss of business, drastic loss of google rank and email is a real disaster.

The Google Mobile Saga Unfolds...
Researchers in the field are reporting the consequences of not being Fully Mobile
As reported by Glenn Gabe on April 23, 2015 See full Article
Specifically; Potterybarnkids.com goes from #5 on desktop searches to #11 on phone searches. Going from Page 1 to page 2 on Google is a catastrophic impact!
Our Own Clients: Prominent clients of ours have more than 50% of their site traffic coming from phones and tablets. Imagine the impact of dropping an entire page of visibility on Google. The data on this was leaked years ago and the drop in traffic is exponential from one page to another. The impact would easily be a drop of 50 to 75% from the mobile. If 1/2 of the search generated traffic comes from mobile, as is the case for these prominent clients, the overall drop in traffic could easily be 25 to 40%!
