Do I own my website on a managed plan?

It depends on how the build is paid for — and AdStack publishes the terms up front. Your domain stays registered to you and your content and data are always yours, no matter what. Purchase the design up front and the code is yours outright; roll the design cost into your monthly plan and AdStack retains ownership of the build, with license or buyout options if you ever leave. The monthly fee covers the ongoing work: hosting, security, maintenance, and content changes.

Whoever you're considering, get the ownership answer in writing before you sign. The industry's ugly pattern is terms discovered at cancellation: proprietary builders the site can't leave, domains quietly registered in the agency's name, and surprises about what you keep.

Questions that surface it in one call: Who is the domain registrant? What exactly do I keep if I cancel — content, data, code? Is there a buyout option for the build? A provider that answers all three plainly before you ask is the one to shortlist.
