If you’ve come to this page chances are you fit in one of two categories. Either you just started a business and a ready to secure that always important domain name to park your website on or you've been in business for a while and now you're ready to spread your brands message online. Either way, you've come to the right place.
At Lone Wolf Media Design we can secure a domain name for you, set up your business email and host your new website all in one place.
If this is your first experience with a domain name, branded email and hosting, we'll try to make it easy as 1, 2, 3!
1) Domain Name – The first thing you'll need secure before launching that brand new website is a domain name. It might be the least expensive item in regards to your website but might be the most important as well. This will be what people type in their browser to get to your website. You want it easy to remember, not too long, but long enough for it to relate to your business name or the products and services you offer. We'll touch on this more when we talk about Branded Email Hosting.
2) Web Hosting* – Now that you own a domain name (www.yourbusinessname.com), it’s time to build something on it. Think of the web hosting like a storage facility. You pay rent to store or house "stuff" there. No different here. You pay yearly to store all your files and information relating to your website. Without web hosting you're website can not been seen by the public. Web hosting is very different than "renting" storage space say from a company like Dropbox. Web hosting is specially design for files dealing with websites.
It's also a good idea to have your domain name and web hosting through the same company so they talk to each other easily.
3) Branded Email Hosting – Okay so now you have a domain name and we’ve tackled the website hosting, you're just about ready to start spreading the word about your new fantastic website. But wait, you can't send an email out from your personal email address of [email protected]. That doesn't look very professional and will people even know who that is??
When sending business emails to people on a daily basis having a branded email address help you appear more professional and credible than a free email address. Make sure your email address reflects your brand. With branded email your email address will match your already owned domain name, e.g. [email protected]. It might cost more than that free email account but it will speak volumes about your business.
*Web Hosting is only offered to clients who have had their website developed by Lone Wolf Media Design. We do not offer web hosting to outside clients.
