Ownership you can verify
Domain, hosting, repositories, accounts and key services are mapped to their current owners and access status.
All support services
A calm handover when the old support disappears
Take back control of an existing website—without guessing what was left behind.
We help recover the access, assets, knowledge and working baseline needed before a new support relationship begins.
No passwords needed for the first conversation.
What this service is for
When a developer leaves or an agency relationship ends, the website may still work while ownership is unclear. Webmasters.my turns that uncertainty into a documented takeover plan.
The change we are working towards
From uncertainty to a website your team can confidently own.
A documented baseline
The technology, dependencies, environments, known issues and missing items are recorded.
A safe next step
We distinguish what can enter routine care from stabilisation, recovery or redevelopment work.
What we can cover
A clear scope around the work that matters.
Final coverage depends on the current website and the level of support agreed after review.
01
Access and asset inventory
Find the keys needed to operate the website.
- Domain and DNS
- Hosting and cloud accounts
- CMS and administrator access
- Source code and repositories
02
Technical baseline
Understand what the website depends on.
- Platform and version review
- Backups and environments
- Forms and integrations
- Licences and third-party services
03
Stabilisation plan
Prioritise the gaps before normal support.
- Access ownership changes
- Urgent updates or fixes
- Documentation gaps
- Recommended ongoing care route
How we begin
Understand first. Then change what is safe to change.
Start with what you control
We use the public site and available business records to build an initial ownership map.
Recover and verify access
Accounts are handled through provider-approved recovery routes; credentials are not casually shared.
Stabilise before changing
We establish backups and a known baseline before routine updates or feature work.
A good fit for
- Businesses whose developer has disappeared
- Teams changing website agencies
- Organisations with undocumented legacy sites
- Websites dependent on former staff accounts
Important boundaries
- We cannot bypass provider ownership checks or recover accounts without authorised evidence.
- Missing source code or licences may change the viable takeover route.
- A compromised site requires incident handling in addition to ownership recovery.
01What should we collect before contacting you?+
Start with the website address, invoices, domain renewal emails, hosting messages, known administrator accounts and any repository or backup details. Do not send passwords in the enquiry form.
02Can you recover a domain registered by the old developer?+
Recovery depends on the registrar, registrant records and evidence of ownership. We can help identify the provider and guide the correct process, but cannot bypass its verification rules.
03Should we update everything immediately after gaining access?+
Not necessarily. Establish a backup and understand customisations first. A rushed update on an undocumented site can create a second incident.
04Can ongoing maintenance begin straight away?+
Sometimes. If the baseline is unstable, unsupported or compromised, we first scope the work needed to make routine support responsible.
