most important parts of a website

When running a business website, there are three critical components that you’ll want complete control over: Your website’s domain name, your web hosting, and your website’s email.

The longer you’re involved in running your own business’s website, and with web design in general, the more you realize just how important it is to keep these three services separated and isolated from one another.

Experience has taught me that by keeping these three components separate, if a problem ever arises with one of them, the other two won’t be affected at all. Here's what I mean:

If you've bundled all these web services together, if one of these services goes down, it could potentially take the other two down as well. Imagine...your entire business going offline because one of your key services got disrupted!

Even if you’re just running a small website, keeping your three essential services separate means fewer headaches and potential problems down the road.

What muddies things up...and what I'm working hard to untangle and clarify...is that in the world of web design, you can register a domain name, set up your web hosting, and set up your email email service all from one vendor.

For instance, vendors whose core service is domain name registration now offer web hosting, email, SEO services, and a pile of other add-ons as extras. And web hosting companies offer to manage your email and your domain name registration, as well as provide other extras like website builders, advertising credits and so on.

It’s a confusing mess! If your head’s spinning a bit, I don’t blame you -— it’s a confusing mess! With so many options and add-ons available, it’s hard to know what’s important for you and your business, and what isn’t.

Now while a one-stop solution for all your website needs might sound convenient, keeping our 3 primary business web design services -— again, your domain, hosting, and email —- all separate not only gives you the most control and autonomy over our businesses online, we also get the best quality of service. That’s huge.

But that’s not the only reason to keep your services separate. Issues like reliability, security, protecting your business’s online assets, and more also factor in. Or, in the event that a particular provider’s service begins to slip, or our business needs change (it sometimes happens)...

...we can easily switch out that service’s vendor without impacting our other two critical services. This does mean a bit more work and a bit more management on our part, but it gives us complete autonomy and control over our creative and business assets.

And to me, after doing this stuff for so long, that small price is totally worth it. So if you agree that keeping your business services separate is smart, then when your domain name registrar offers you web hosting when you’re in the process of signing up, you can safely ignore that option.

And when you’re signing up for web hosting, and you see an offer for a free domain name and email, you can politely decline. We’ll be using dedicated services for our business instead.
