Website as Salesperson How to Make Your Website Work for You 24/7
Contents
Managing a business’s domain and hosting can often feel overwhelming, especially when you’re busy focusing on growing your company. At Creativus Design, we aim to take the hassle out of this process with our comprehensive website maintenance plans. These plans not only keep your website secure and up-to-date but also handle end-to-end management of domain and hosting information—so you can focus on what you do best.
When you sign up for one of our website maintenance plans, you gain access to a service designed to make managing your website effortless. We handle everything from storing domain and hosting credentials to ensuring your site stays live, secure, and current. You can learn more about our maintenance plans and what they include here.
However, while we take care of the technicalities, we strongly believe in empowering our clients to maintain control over their digital assets. Your website, domain, and data belong to you, and we’re here to support your ownership.
We offer flexible solutions that allow you to choose the setup that works best for you. Whether you prefer us to host your website and manage your domain or to use your own hosting and domain provider, we’re here to help.
We typically use DirectAdmin as our hosting panel, which provides clients with the tools to access and manage their website. If you prefer, you can request DirectAdmin access and even download an initial backup of your site. This ensures you always have a copy of your files and database for added peace of mind.
Dynamic websites often consist of two key components: the files and the database. Through DirectAdmin, our hosting plans include Acronis Backup, a reliable tool that allows you to back up both your files and database easily.
We strongly encourage clients to create an initial backup when their website is launched, as this serves as the ‘original’ copy of the website before any modifications. This is especially useful if you make changes to the website later and need to restore it to its original state.
Additionally, having a local backup provides full ownership of your website’s code, which you can use to transfer providers or experiment independently. This extra layer of security ensures that your website’s data remains protected. You can find detailed instructions on how to use Acronis Backup here.
For domain management, we partner with Synergy Wholesale, a trusted provider in the industry. All domains are registered under the client’s name, ensuring you retain full ownership. Upon registration, you’ll receive an email confirmation of your ownership.
When it comes time to renew your domain, you’ll receive an automated reminder. From there, you can choose to renew through us or take other actions, like transferring or canceling the domain. Should you ever lose access to your domain, Synergy Wholesale offers a Domain Recovery Tool as a backup method to regain control independently of us. This ensures that you retain full ownership of your domain and can always access it without relying solely on our support. Learn more about this feature here.
We always recommend that clients create and store an initial backup of their site. Backups are essential for ensuring that your website can be quickly restored in the event of an issue. With Acronis Backup available through DirectAdmin, you can safeguard your files and database with ease.
At Creativus Design, we strive to simplify the complexities of domain and hosting management while giving you the control and flexibility you deserve. Whether you’re a hands-off client who wants everything managed or someone who prefers more involvement, our tailored solutions are designed to fit your needs.
