You want to make sure that when choosing a website maintenance company that there is a clause in the contract that transfers ownership of your website’s files to you after all payments have ended and the contract is completed. You want to make sure that you will be the owner or your website’s content should you choose to make any updates in the future or change maintenance providers. Some cheap website maintenance providers might provide great rates, but might trap you with a huge fee for file ownership once your contract has ended. When you are making payments to a website maintenance provider you may not technically own the files during this time, but after your written commitment has ended, these files will need to belong to you.
