Hosted.com, a domain registration and web hosting provider, is placing greater emphasis on the core infrastructure small businesses need to establish and operate a professional online presence. The company is bringing domain registration, web hosting, business email, website management, security, and backup services together through a connected platform aimed at SMEs, startups, freelancers, and entrepreneurs.
The approach is designed to simplify website management for businesses that may not have dedicated technical teams or the resources to manage multiple hosting and technology providers.
Hosted.com Focuses on the Core Website Infrastructure
A business website typically depends on several interconnected services, including a domain name, web hosting, professional email, SSL encryption, security tools, and backups.
Hosted.com provides these services through its platform, including cPanel Web Hosting and WordPress Hosting. Its cPanel hosting plans include SSD storage, LiteSpeed Web Server, free SSL certificates, daily backups, email accounts, MySQL databases, one-click installations, security tools, and website migration support where required.
Published cPanel Web Hosting plans start at $4.99 per month and include a 99.9% uptime commitment and money-back guarantee.
The company also provides domain registration services with features including an AI-powered domain name generator, bulk domain registration and transfers, WHOIS lookup, and one-click DNSSEC.
Simplifying Website Setup
For smaller organizations, launching a website can involve several separate technical decisions. Businesses need to register a domain, select a hosting plan, establish professional email, configure SSL, install a content management system such as WordPress, and put security and backup procedures in place.
Hosted.com says bringing these functions together can reduce the complexity associated with managing different providers and control panels.
Through its cPanel environment, customers can manage website files, domains, email accounts, databases, and security settings from a single dashboard.
Wayne Diamond, Founder and CEO of Hosted.com, said:
“Small businesses often begin with the domain name, but the website depends on several other services working behind it. Hosted.com brings domain registration, web hosting, email, security and site management together so SMEs, startups and freelancers can build, launch and grow on a single, solid foundation without jumping between different platforms and tools.”
Business Email and Online Credibility
Hosted.com is also highlighting domain-based email as part of a professional online presence. Email addresses using a company’s own domain can help businesses maintain consistent branding across customer communications.
The company’s hosting plans include domain-based email accounts that can be managed through the same cPanel interface used to administer the website.
Security and Backup Services
Security and recovery capabilities are also incorporated into Hosted.com’s hosting environment.
The company uses Monarx and Imunify360 for malware monitoring and protection, while Acronis daily backups provide recovery points for website data and files.
SSL certificates are also included, providing encrypted connections between websites and visitors. Hosted.com positions these capabilities as standard elements of its hosting infrastructure rather than separate services that businesses need to source independently.
WordPress Hosting for Small Businesses
Hosted.com is also targeting businesses using WordPress, including small websites and online stores.
Its WordPress Hosting plans include one-click WordPress installation, LiteSpeed Web Server, the LiteSpeed Cache plugin, free SSL certificates, daily Acronis backups, and a WordPress staging environment for testing updates before they are published.
The plans include a 99.9% uptime commitment and start at $6.99 per month.
Targeting Startups, Freelancers and SMEs
The company’s services are positioned for several segments of the small-business market.
Startups can use the platform to establish a domain, website, email, and supporting infrastructure as they move from an initial concept to an online business.
Freelancers and sole traders can use domain-based email and hosting to establish a professional web presence for their services.
Established small businesses can use migration support to move existing websites and infrastructure to Hosted.com while consolidating their hosting, email, security, and backup requirements.
Building a Single Website Management Environment
Hosted.com’s latest positioning reflects a broader need among small businesses for simpler website infrastructure. While individual services such as domains, hosting, email, security, and backups can be purchased separately, managing them through different providers can create additional configuration and support requirements.
By combining these services within one environment, Hosted.com aims to give smaller businesses a more straightforward way to launch and manage their websites while maintaining the infrastructure needed for performance, security, communication, and recovery.
