making a contract

guljo · #1 09-27-2007, 01:04 PM

I recently read this tread, about trasfering the domain and all the bad stuff that happend to these people not havinig a legal deal on their agreement.

As I am getting in affilate relationship with one other site and I will actualy be a sub affiliate and my domain and site will actualy be on their server, so it can happen (which I highly doubt, as they are reputable affiliates) that I will suffer some bad things such as site loss with all the players I brought.

So do you suggest to make a contract with them, and how to make one, we are miles apart, is it possible to make it through internet?

No matter what contact you have. Keep the domain yourself and just point the DNS to them. If your just getting started and they already have the domain have them transfer it to you, no matter how uncomfortable that might feel to ask - Do it now.
If its your site there is no good reason for anyone but you to own the domain.

Why don't you just get your own hositing plan? It isn't that expensive.

I would guess he is using their backend for some kind of more advanced system or affiliate program.

If not then the whole situation would not make much sense.

I would never under any circumstance transfer the actual domain, unless they bought it from you or there is an arrangement that states the ownership is changing. Once you change the domains ownership via the registrar, you're pretty much at the liberty of whom you made the transfer too.

Good domain wise. Having a written agreement is also a decent idea (A must in many people's book) regarding how the rest of the deal works.
