The problem: a registrar login nobody wrote down. This breaks 404 pages for a plumber.

When a plumber asked for a quote on 404 pages, we sent a one-paragraph email instead of a slide deck. They signed the same day.

We found a registrar login nobody wrote down during a routine check of 404 pages. The site had been leaking referrer data for six weeks before anyone noticed.

The vendor portal had silently rotated the key for 404 pages, but a plumber was still using the old one. Every outbound message bounced quietly.

A phishing page copying a plumber appeared last year. The only reason their customers could tell it apart was that 404 pages was set up correctly on the real site.

a plumber did not need a portal. They needed a page that said who they are, what they do, and a phone number that somebody picks up before the fifth ring.
