Business owners the world over understand the importance of having a solid domain name registered with a top class host. The combination of a sharp and stylish web address hosted by a reputable company is one that can truly optimise your online success. This is because a quality web address is easy to remember and search whilst having a top provider ensures that you receive high quality features that amplify your website!
Let’s take a look at those features below:
- Email services
When you buy domain names, your prospective host should offer email services like those found with Outlook 365. These email services allow you to have a personalised email address that your clients, customers and business contacts will see.
For example, your name is Tasha and you run a catering company called “Delish Delivery” and your generic Gmail account would probably read “[email protected]”. Sure, these email addresses are fine for personal accounts, but for businesses they look a little unprofessional.
With email services, you can have a highly stylised and personal address that instead reads, “[email protected]”. This highly personalised web address makes your business look far more professional than a generic Gmail or other email address and this is a service that your prospective host should offer!
- Easy migration
It’s 2024, and there is a high chance that you’ve already run your online business for some time. But, unfortunately, you’ve completely had it with your current host. There are many reasons why you might want to jump ship from a subpar host, including pricing and security issues.
Whatever the reason, your new host must make it easy for you, essentially taking care of the process on your behalf. There are companies that even offer free, three-step migration solutions, the kind that will have your domain name and website part of their hosting service in a few short minutes.
- Reasonable renewal fees
Although most have seen their time pass, there are still certain companies that offer ridiculous renewal fees. In 2024 and beyond it should never cost you too much to renew your hosting service. A client-centric domain name host will never charge you an exorbitant amount to renew your service with them.
They understand that this isn’t something that should cost the client a large amount of their yearly profit and they will dually provide you with a fair and reasonable renewal fee. If they don’t, well, you know what to do – take that free, three-step migration process to a company that will provide you with fair renewal fees.
- Versatile packages
Scalability is key when it comes to your web hosting service. The last thing you want is a provider that will keep you stagnant when you’re experiencing massive growth. Therefore, they must provide a range of versatile hosting options that allow you to scale up when the time comes. You should be able to add features as necessary and enjoy advanced versatility that will allow your business to thrive with a top class host in its corner!
- Security features
Your host should always provide advanced security features. After all, with the ever-growing nature of the Internet comes the ever-growing need for cutting-edge security. Therefore, they should offer security features like firewalls, malware and spam blocking and more to ensure that your business website is safe from any nefarious actors looking to get a hold of your sensitive information!
