Website Hosting Setup

Put one website on hosting the business owns and can take to another provider later. The account, domain connection, HTTPS, launch checks and handover are completed in the customer's name.

How this gets fixed

Hosting setup for one website

Website hosting is the service that stores a website and serves it when somebody visits the domain. The host is selected for the way the site was built, the expected traffic, the editing needs and the ongoing cost.

Platforms considered can include SiteGround, WP Engine or Cloudways for WordPress, and Netlify, Vercel or Cloudflare Pages for compatible coded sites. Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Shopify and similar builders include hosting inside their own subscriptions. The customer pays the selected provider directly.

What you end up owning

  • The hosting account in your name, on your card, not on mine
  • The domain registered to you, with the registrar login written down
  • Administrator access to everything, with a written list of every login

FAQ

Questions about this service

Which host should I use?

The choice follows how the website was built, what it needs to run, the expected traffic, support requirements, ownership and recurring cost.

Who owns the hosting account?

The customer owns the hosting account, domain registration and administrator access and pays the provider directly.

Will changing DNS affect email?

It can. DNS is the record that directs the domain to website and email services, so existing email records are recorded and checked during the change.

Does this include moving my current site?

A site already running elsewhere needs a migration scope. Hosting Setup covers a new or already prepared site that needs a business-owned place to run.
