The Difference
Budget domain registrars vs. Areonix managed domains
What happens when your domain and DNS are managed as a critical business asset rather than an unmonitored DIY subscription.

|---|---|---|
| Legal Ownership | Registered under an agency account or reseller proxy, difficult to reclaim if you switch providers. | 100% legally registered in your company name with your NZBN. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about domain management
Everything you need to know about registering, owning, and maintaining your domain name.
Who actually owns my domain name?
You do, 100%. We register the domain strictly with your company details and NZBN as the legal registrant.
You have full ownership rights, and we never charge exit fees if you ever decide to transfer your domain.
Why do my quote and invoice emails sometimes end up in client spam?
Modern email providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo) require cryptographic authentication on your domain, specifically SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records.
If these DNS records are missing or misconfigured, receiving servers treat your business emails as potential phishing spam. We configure and verify all three records.
How do domain renewals work?
We track your domain expiration dates and renew them proactively before they expire.
You receive transparent annual invoices with no surprise price spikes or hidden fees.
