Hi everyone,

I am going to raise an important issue which i believe must be directly concerning every webmaster.

To illustrate say I own a website with .com extension and I have been running my website
for last 2 years. The website provides information to examiness of various university exams in India.

Now my q is what happens if someone else by chance gains access to my username and pssword to my account. Do i lose my website to him.

What options are available to me once it happens.

Also are there any steps which i am supposed to take in advance to ensure that in any unlikely event, I am able to establish my legal ownership of site considering my website provides just information collected from various sources primarily and i am a small webmaster running website singlehandadly.

Any particular reference in indian context will be extremely apprecited.

Anyway if you have the ownership noone can take it from you, as your site will be registered to your name. And if anyone gets access you`ll only need to tell about it the correspondent instance.

1. No, you won't lose your website to the person who has access to your user name and/or password,

However...

Just change your server password, this should also be the same password for your fileserver. Once you do that, you're all set! Otherwise, yes, that person can change the entire look of your site, but they cannot "steal" your domain name, if that was what your q was. To 'steal' your domain, well, that would take alot of work...

HTH,
