Building a website for your business is a little like building a house.
- Get your perfect domain name so people can find you.
- When you build a house you start with the size of the land. This would be like choosing a hosting plan. Maybe you don’t need much more than the bare minimum now but you should also think of this as a 2-3 year plan.
- Then you need an email address that is as professional as you are. Now, you could create an email with a free email provider but the perception of legitimacy to your prospective customer won’t be as high.
- As you build your home, you need security. With a website, you protect the customer with what is called an SSL and you protect the website, itself, with its own security and backups.
Below, we have put together our suggestions for the best tools to start you off on the right foot.

*We don’t limit the amount of storage and bandwidth your site can use as long as it complies with our Hosting Agreement. Should your website bandwidth or storage usage present a risk to the stability, performance or uptime of our servers, we will notify you via email and you may be required to upgrade, or we may restrict the resources your website is using. It’s very rare that a website violates our Hosting Agreement and is typically only seen in sites that use hosting for file sharing or storage.
**Email account storage is limited to 1000 email accounts with 1 GB of total storage.
***After the initial free year, the certificate will automatically renew at the then-current price until canceled. You can cancel your automatic renewal certificate at any time.
