Why buy from a marketing agency instead of a hosting company?
- It’s set up to be found. We think about Google, AI search and your listing from day one, not after the site is built.
- Your email reaches the inbox. We care about the DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) that keep quotes and invoices out of spam.
- Everything stays in your name. Your domain, email and hosting sit in your own account.
- Real infrastructure. Our products run on GoDaddy’s servers and registrar, with 24/7 technical support.
Getting online: questions owners ask
What does a small business need to get online?
Four things: a domain name (yourbusiness.com), business email at that domain, hosting for your website, and an SSL certificate so browsers show the padlock. Add a Google Business Profile, which is free, because it’s where most local customers find you.
How much does it cost to get a small business online?
The basics run about US$15 to US$35 a month: a .com domain (about US$12 to US$25 a year), professional email (from US$4.99 a month per mailbox), and hosting (from US$3.99 a month, or about US$13 for managed WordPress). A professionally built website is a separate, one-time cost.
Should I buy my domain, email and hosting from the same company?
It isn’t required, but it’s simpler. One account means one renewal date, DNS records that connect automatically, and one place to call when something breaks. Whatever you choose, make sure the domain is registered in your name, not your web designer’s.
Who owns the domain if a marketing company registers it?
You should. With us, your domain, email and hosting are registered in your name and your own account. If you ever leave, everything leaves with you.
Do you only work with businesses in Vancouver?
No. We’re based in Vancouver and work with businesses anywhere. Domains, email and hosting are available worldwide.
