Putting your own business online

Anno 2019 your own website is almost impossible to imagine, especially if you have your own business. If you don't have any hosting yet, it might be time to start. Almost every company nowadays has its own website or even a web store. In this blog post we are going to give some tips on how you can bring your own business online with MijnHostingPartner.

Choose the right CMS

If you are planning to create your own website then it is also important that you know which Content Management System you want to use. This also depends on what kind of website you have exactly. If you have a website that only contains information then it is best to use WordPress hosting.WordPress is ideal for this type of website because it is easy to set up and manage.

However, if you want to run a larger webshop then we would recommend Umbraco. Umbraco is one of the best ASP.NET Content Management Systems available and is known for its flexibility.

Another big advantage is that its community is quite large. If you are having trouble with something you can always take a look at the Umbraco forums. For Umbraco hosting you can also use our ASP.NET packages.

If you do not want to use Umbraco then DotNetNuke might be an interesting alternative. This is a CMS that is really easy to use, even for the novice user.

A business e-mail address

It is also important that you have a business e-mail address where you can easily reach your customers. Of course this has to look professional, so it is advisable to use a mail address that is linked to your domain.

Fortunately, this is also possible at MijnHostingPartner, if you create an email address with us in the control panel then this address is automatically linked to your domain. So you do not have to use, for example, Gmail or Hotmail but you just have your business mail.

SSL certificate

The safety of your visitors is also important, it is therefore important that you have an SSL certificate. This ensures that your visitors have a secure connection to your website, this is especially important if you have a webshop. A DV SSL certificate is available on your domain from 19.95 per year.

If you have any questions about this, you can always see if one of our chat operators is available. If no one is available you can create a ticket to our helpdesk.
