01 / HOSTING & DOMAINS
What does hosting and domain management include?
Hosting is the space the website's files sit in and what makes the site reachable. The domain is the address a visitor types. The two belong together but are technically separate, and both need looking after for a site to keep working over time.
Domain name and registration
We help choose and register the domain, or move one you already own. Domains are rented per period and have to be renewed, or the address stops working.
Web hosting and operations
The site is placed with a provider that suits its technical needs. We handle the basic setup so the site loads quickly and stays reachable.
SSL certificate and https
An SSL certificate encrypts traffic between the visitor and the site, and is what makes the address start with https. Browsers warn about pages without one.
Email on your own domain
If you want addresses in the form [email protected] we set that up against the domain. Email and website can sit with different providers.
Backups and updates
Routines for backups and technical updates mean the site can be restored if something goes wrong and the platform stays current.
02 / IN PRACTICE
What you no longer have to keep track of
Most of running a site goes unnoticed until something stops working. A missed renewal or an expired certificate can make the site unreachable or have browsers show a warning. That is often why companies put this part in someone else's hands.
Renewals on time
Domains and certificates have expiry dates. We keep track of them so nothing lapses unexpectedly.
One technical contact
You have somewhere to turn instead of dealing with the provider yourself.
Technical setup done
DNS records, redirects and email settings are configured and written down.
You own your domain
The domain is registered to your company. You keep it even if you change provider.
03 / QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Common questions about hosting and domains
What is the difference between a domain and hosting?
The domain is the address, for example yourcompany.se. Hosting is the space the website's files sit in. They can be with the same provider or with different ones.
Can I move a domain I already have?
Yes. An existing domain can be transferred or pointed at a new website. Which one suits depends on where it is registered today.
Does my website need SSL?
Yes. Without it browsers mark the site as not secure, which affects trust and can put visitors off.
Who owns the domain?
The domain is registered to your company. It is yours and comes with you if you decide to change provider.
Is email included automatically?
No, email is set up separately when you want addresses on your own domain. We go through what is needed based on how you work.
