Common questions
Small business web hosting FAQs
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is the service that stores your website's files and makes the site available to visitors on the internet. A domain name is the address people use to reach that hosted website.
Does a small business need its own domain?
For most businesses, yes. A custom domain gives you a consistent web address and can also be used for professional email addresses tied to your business name.
Should I choose standard hosting or WordPress hosting?
If your site is built on WordPress, managed WordPress hosting is the straightforward choice. For many other websites, standard cPanel hosting is a flexible place to start.
Do I need VPS hosting?
Most new small-business websites do not. VPS hosting is better suited to advanced use cases, sites requiring more dedicated resources, or businesses that need greater server control.
Do hosting plans include email, SSL and backups?
Included features vary by plan and can change over time. Review the current plan details before purchasing. Professional email, SSL certificates, website security and backup products are also available separately.
Can I transfer my domain to Secure Pay Hosting?
Yes. Domain transfer options are available in the Secure Pay Hosting store. Check the transfer requirements for your domain before starting the process.
