Creating, owning and operating website or blog you have to think about its protection.

How to copyright your website
Although you have automatic copyright protection, it’s still smart to take a couple of additional steps.
A copyright notice includes four components:
- copyright symbol,
- date,
- author’s name
- statement of rights
You must update the year regularly. Some websites include all the years of copyright protection, as in “Copyright 2016-2018”.
Your website must have
Privacy Policy, which is necessary to explain to the user: what information is collected, how is going, how to be stored and protected.
Terms and conditions is a little rule book which describes what users must do and not to do while using your website.
Both are too important for security and protection of website.
Protecting Your Domain Name
A domain name is a unique symbol on the Internet. It can’t be duplicated. It appears like ” https://www.arag.am/ “, such as ” https://www.arag.am/ “. But note that your domain name may also be3 used with different extensions, for example, arag.am, arag.com, arag.net. Once it’s important for your business, you may purchase your domain name with various extensions so nobody else can use them.
How to protect domain graphics and logo
The “look” of your domain name is separate from its content. If you want to protect your website’s logo, you must register it as a trademark or service mark.
Protecting the images on your website
If you want to copyright images on your website, you can do it separately. And if you use images, make sure that your use isn’t plagiarism.
