🌐 Website Ownership & Buyout Policy
Last updated: September 16, 2025
At RedSky Business Solutions, we want to be transparent about how website ownership works when you choose us to design and manage your site.
Our Website Ownership Model
Websites built and hosted under RedSky Business Solutions are provided as part of our managed service model.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, these websites remain the property of RedSky Business Solutions.
Clients receive full use of the site for as long as their monthly package is active.
This approach allows us to keep costs low upfront, include ongoing updates, and bundle valuable extras such as SEO, design credits, and support.
Buyout Option
We understand that some clients may eventually want to take full ownership of their site. For that reason, we offer a buyout option at any time:
A one-time buyout fee can be paid to transfer ownership of your website to you.
The buyout covers transfer of the website files, database, and content, plus setup on your hosting account.
All licenses, templates, or tools owned by RedSky will either be replaced with free/open alternatives or require you to obtain your own license.
Important Note:
If a buyout occurs within the first year of service, the buyout fee may be described as a “transfer and setup fee” instead of a standard buyout, since RedSky has already invested significant upfront labor and licensing.
Client-Provided Content
Any content, images, or branding you provide to us (logos, photos, videos, copy, etc.) always remains your property.
If you choose to buy out your website, that content is included in the transfer.
Hosting on Your Account
If you prefer, we can build your site directly under your own hosting account instead of RedSky’s.
In this case, the website belongs to you from day one.
Because this requires additional setup and management, hosting under your account will include an extra setup cost (quoted at project start).
What Happens If You Cancel Without Buyout
If your monthly package is canceled and you have not purchased a buyout, the website will be taken offline.
You will not retain rights to the design, files, or structure of the site, though you will always own your business content (logo, photos, etc.).
Why We Do This
This model ensures websites are affordable upfront and maintained continuously.
Clients who want long-term independence can easily buy out when ready, while others can enjoy worry-free, fully managed service without needing to handle hosting, security, or updates.
