Ever wondered about the initial or origin point of a website? Where does a website originate from? How do we get a domain name? And how to delete or get access to a loved one’s domain.com account. Well, all these questions will be answered in this blog post.
The Framework of a Website
An organization creates a website where every detail necessary for the customers/viewers is given. The website’s name is based on the organization’s name or the business. But a person can get a domain name only based on availability.
A domain name is an identification string that defines the authority or control of an organization on the internet. The domain holder holds the authority or control over that domain name representing their organization or business.
It is easy to get a domain name. But when the domain holder dies or becomes incapacitated to handle the domain, the close person should get either full access or permanently delete the account.
Now let us see the steps to delete the domain.com account of a loved one and the steps to gain full access to that account.
How To Delete a Domain.com Account when you don't have the Password?
Let us have a look at the process.
- Prepare all the documents required to show your relationship with the deceased person.
- After preparing the documents, visit domain.com. Raise a request on the website for the deletion of the account.
- After raising the request, you will receive a call from the customer service representative. Follow their instructions to delete the account.
The customer service representative will guide you with the further process. Once you follow their instructions thoroughly, your account will be permanently deleted.
Information Required:
- Name of the deceased and their email address.
