What is SiteGov?
Every domain has a registrar, a DNS provider, a hosting platform, an SSL authority, and an email system. Each one has an account. Each account has a login. At any given moment, someone either knows who controls that login. Or they don’t.
SiteGov maps that picture from live data and gives your team a structured record of who controls what, before the moment you need it.
The provider stack
Every domain runs on a stack of independent providers. The registrar holds the domain registration. DNS routes traffic to the right servers. Hosting serves the pages. SSL secures the connection. Email runs through its own platform entirely.
Each layer is separate. Each has its own account. Each account has a login. Most organizations assume these are all connected — that whoever manages the domain also controls DNS, or that the developer who set up hosting also manages SSL.
They usually aren’t. DNS is often managed by a different vendor than the registrar. Hosting is often on a developer’s agency account. SSL auto-renews through a service nobody monitors. Email predates every agency relationship by a decade. The result: five layers, five potential access gaps, rarely documented together.
Registrar
Holds the domain registration. Controls who can transfer or renew.
GoDaddy · Namecheap
DNS
Routes traffic to the right servers. Controls where the domain points.
Cloudflare · Route 53
Hosting
Serves the site. Controls what appears when the domain loads.
WP Engine · Vercel
SSL
Secures the connection. Expires on a fixed date, regardless of who’s watching.
Let’s Encrypt · DigiCert
Runs independently from everything else. Often the oldest account nobody’s touched.
Google Workspace · M365
Understanding the category
Website infrastructure tracking is the practice of documenting who controls every system behind a domain: who registered it, who manages the DNS, who runs the hosting, who owns the SSL cert, and who holds the credentials for each. Most organizations have this knowledge scattered across people’s heads, email threads, and stale spreadsheets. SiteGov makes it explicit and accessible before the moment it’s needed.
Because they’re often different people. The domain might be registered under a founder’s personal email. DNS might be managed by a vendor the client switched last year. Hosting might be on a developer’s agency account. Each is a separate access point, and any one of them can fail independently. When they’re documented separately, you can see the full picture. When they’re assumed to be the same, you find out they’re not at the worst possible time.
Not primarily. Security tools look for vulnerabilities: open ports, malware, injection risks. SiteGov looks for access gaps: expired certs, missing backup admins, undocumented credentials, former employees still listed as primary contacts. The distinction matters. A site can pass a security scan and still be inaccessible the moment the one person who knows the registrar login leaves the company.
No. A password manager stores credentials. SiteGov documents that credentials exist, who holds them, where they’re stored, and whether access recovery is documented. It answers “do we have access?” without holding the passwords themselves. The two tools are complementary: use a password manager to store credentials, use SiteGov to confirm the right people have access and every account has a named owner.
How it fits
Agencies already use tools that do adjacent things. SiteGov doesn’t replace any of them. It answers a question none of them answer.
Spreadsheet
Records what someone typed, when they typed it. Doesn’t know the registrar changed last Tuesday, the SSL expires in 11 days, or that the person who wrote it down left the company.
Password manager
Stores credentials securely. Doesn’t tell you who the backup admin is, whether MFA is confirmed on the account, or whether the primary contact still works at the company.
Security scanner
Finds exploitable vulnerabilities: open ports, injection risks, outdated software. Doesn’t tell you who controls the registrar or whether your team can access the DNS panel if something breaks.
Uptime monitor
Tells you when the site goes down. Doesn’t tell you who to call, who controls the infrastructure, or whether anyone on your team can actually fix it.
SiteGov
Documents who controls each provider, whether a second person can get in if the first is unavailable, and whether access recovery is actually in place. The question every one of the above tools assumes someone else is answering.
