Website audits address the of ownership - is the "domain registrant" actually the owner, or did the designer register the domain on his/her behalf. In varying cases, websites may be registered by the owner of the domain, a company employee, or a third-party independent Web designer. If it was a third party who made the site, the audit establishes if an ownership agreement was made between the owner of the site and the third party and if so, what is the current status of that agreement. In all cases, the owner should be the registrant on record
