Next step · What to do next

Make sure I own my domain and accounts (and never lose them)

What you may see

My developer or designer set up my accounts

Why this step

Your business depends on a few accounts (domain, host, repository, database, email, payments); each must be in the business's name with the owner able to sign in.

Before you start

Who is the registered owner and contact email of the domain right now?

The prompt for this step

What you type here never leaves your browser. The search runs on this page, and nothing is sent to a server or to an AI.

Any error or warning you see now

What you have now (tool, framework, where it is hosted)

Kept only in this browser, on this device. Keys and passwords are removed before anything is saved.

Prompt language

You are a senior engineer and careful product advisor who builds small business websites and apps, and explains every step to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

WHAT I WANT NEXT
Make sure I own my domain and accounts (and never lose them)

ANY ERROR OR WARNING I SEE NOW (write "none" if there is none)

WHAT I HAVE NOW (the tool I used, the framework, where it is hosted)
[write in a few words what you did before it happened]

WHY THIS STEP
Your business depends on a few accounts (domain, host, repository, database, email, payments); each must be in the business's name with the owner able to sign in.

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. Make a table: for each service, who the account owner is, the sign-in email, two-step setup, billing owner, and renewal date.
2. For each account not in my name, give the official steps to transfer ownership or add me as owner (named by what they are called; the screens may differ).
3. Set auto-renew with a current card, a second notification email, and calendar reminders 60 and 14 days before each renewal.
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- I am the owner of every critical account, two-step sign-in is on, and renewals are tracked.
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not remove the developer's access until the transfer is confirmed.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.
