Are You Temporarily Leasing Your Website???
Your Website’s Future Should Be In Your Hands
ANewExcellence’s Stand on Self-Hosting
ANewExcellence believes a business’s online presence should be fully controlled by the business.
⚠️ Beware The “$199 – $399 Website”…
A Website-Held-Hostage is Often The Result! Be extremely cautious with suspiciously cheap web design offers. Not only are they typically subpar, or pre designed website mockups, but they also often lack proper (& favorable) domain & host setup.
This is not just a Website… it’s an Investment!
ANewExcellence advocates for client self-hosting to protect digital investments and ensure business continuity. We empower You to be an active participant in Your online success.
How it Works
After securing hosting (typically we recommend IONOS or Shopify), ANewExcellence develops the website under the client’s domain. The client remains the sole owner of the website’s files, content, and platform. This protects the business from potential disputes, hidden costs, or losing the website if the client chooses a different developer.
The benefits of self-hosting with ANewExcellence
- Complete control: The client controls the hosting environment, including software, configurations, and security measures.
- Protection against vendor lock-in: Clients are not tied to a single platform or provider, ensuring flexibility.
- Enhanced security: Clients can implement and customize security measures to protect the website and data.
- Greater flexibility: Clients can customize the server environment to match the website’s specific needs.
- Long-term peace of mind: The website and its future are within the client’s control.
ANewExcellence builds websites that are owned by the client from the start, ensuring a secure digital future and allowing the brand to flourish. Take control of your brand with ANewExcellence!
The Hosting Cliff: A Cautionary Tale
Without control over hosting, a website and online identity can be lost. Businesses may lose their digital presence due to issues with developers or changes in partnerships. ANewExcellence advocates for client self-hosting to prevent this.
No Digital Hostage Situations with ANewExcellence
Vendor lock-in can make switching providers difficult and costly. When working with ANewExcellence, clients maintain complete control over their website and its future. Clients are expected to set up their own hosting environments.
Domain and Hosting: Your Online Home
Think of your domain name as your website’s address and your hosting as the land it sits on.
- Register a domain name: Choose a name that’s easy to remember, relevant to your business, and helps with Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
- Secure reliable web hosting: Your hosting provider impacts website speed, security, and uptime, all crucial factors for user experience and SEO.
- SSL certificate: An SSL certificate encrypts data exchanged between your website and visitors, boosting trust and security.
Typically, we recommend IONOS WordPress Hosting. IONOS has excellent 24/7 customer service (like us haha) & also their WordPress “GROW” Hosting Plan comes with/ a free domain & free SSL Certificate (security)… unless you need e-commerce, then we might go w/ Shopify or Square.
By taking these steps, you’re not just preparing for a website launch; you’re setting the stage for a successful online presence that reflects your brand and resonates with your audience. ANewExcellence is ready to be your guide on this exciting journey, ensuring your website is built with excellence from the ground up!
