Florida Business Presence

A domain is also known as a web address or URL. It’s what you type in your search bar to go directly to a specific website. For example, our domain is www.floridaregisteredagent.com.

Why do you need your own domain?

Some of our competitors offer free websites, but they come with a long, complicated domain. What’s the problem with this?

Well, first of all, long, complicated domains make it harder for customers to find you—they’re difficult to remember and type in accurately.

Second, these free domains are often tied to the competitor’s site. For example, the domain might be something like “www.competitorname.freesite.com/yourbusinessname.” That doesn’t advertise your business very well or look very professional. In fact, your site may be a better advertisement for the company that provided you with the free site than it is for your own business.

When you get your own domain, you can make sure it’s straighfoward and fits with your business branding. For example, if your business name is “Bandanas by Billie, LLC,” you might purchase the domain “BandanasByBillie.com.” That way, customers can find you easily, and you can use your domain name to help advertise your business.

Why isn’t there a set price for domains?

You’ve probably noticed that web addresses have different endings: .com, .org, .net, and so on. These suffixes are called Top-Level Domains, or TLDs, and some cost more than others.

Domain prices are set by a global non-profit company called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN. ICANN limits the amount of specialized TLDs (for example, .art or .shop), and these limited TLDs are often more expensive.

The average cost of yearly domain renewal is about $25, but can run you more or less.

You may not know what an SSL Certificate is, but you’ve probably tried to access a website that didn’t have a certificate and received a message along the lines of “Your connection is not private” or “The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that cannot be verified.”

And you probably didn’t visit the website after getting that message. Don’t make that mistake with your site. Get an SSL Certificate and make sure your customers feel safe.

What does an SSL Certificate do?

An SSL Certificate creates a layer of security around your site. In fact, SSL stands for “Secure Sockets Layer.” SSL is actually an encryption protocol that protects data transmitted through your website, preventing hackers and other nefarious types from accessing it.

You can tell if a site has an SSL certificate by looking at its web address. URLs that contain “HTTPS” have certificates, while URLs with just “HTTP” do not.

Do you need an SSL Certificate?

Aside from losing potential customers to “not secure” messages, sites without SSL Certificates are flagged by search engines and are often excluded from search results. This makes your site harder to find.

Not having an SSL Certificate also puts your customers’ data at risk, especially if you’re transacting business through your site. Hackers may be able to steal your customers’ financial information, and you don’t want to be responsible for that.

Why hire us for your SSL certificate?

1. Get your domain, website, and SSL certificate all in one place
2. Use your SSL certificate free for 90 days

You may be tempted to use your personal email address for business communications, but that doesn’t always make a great impression on customers. It’s much more professional to have an email address that clearly belongs to your business.

Why is a professional email address important?

First of all, it makes you and your business look legitimate. If you’re sending out emails from “BillieWildChild72,” customers may not open your emails. Plus, if you’re using a generic domain like gmail or yahoo, your emails are more likely to get sent to the spam folder.

Second, you can ensure that the right emails go to the right people. For example, “[email protected]” can go to your fulfillment team, while “[email protected]” might go directly to you. Using multiple email addresses when you first start out can also make your company appear larger or more established than it actually is.

Why hire us for your business email?

1. Create up to 10 email addresses at your domain
2. Get your domain, website, and email all in one place
3. Use your email free for 90 days

Getting a business line used to be expensive and cumbersome—you’d need to buy an additional line and phone. Now, however, it’s easy to get a separate phone number for your business using a virtual phone service.

Why is having a business phone number important?

You may also consider using your personal phone number for your business. But do you want customers calling and hearing your personal voicemail greeting? What if you answer the phone without realizing it’s a customer and make the wrong impression? Plus, you’d probably like to keep your personal phone number private.

With a business phone number, you can maintain your privacy, make your business look good, and build customer trust.

What is virtual phone service?

Virtual phone service uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. To access your service, all you need is an internet connection. Unlike a cell or landline number, a VoIP number isn’t restricted to a specific device, SIM card, or location. It’s cloud-based, so you can access your service anywhere you have internet using a mobile app or an internet browser.

What can you do with our virtual phone service?

Here are some great features of our phone service:

• Get a number with a local Florida area code
• Forward calls to your personal phone or device (US number required)
• Have your company name show up when you call customers using personalized Outbound Caller ID
• Set up a professional voicemail greeting
• Make and receive unlimited calls and SMS text messages
• Access voicemail and messages using our iOS or Android app, or on another device using an internet browser (download the app through the App Store or the Google Play store)
