What is the difference between a domain and hosting?
The domain is your address, such as yourbusiness.in. Hosting is the server where the website's files live. You rent both, usually yearly, and they can come from the same provider or different ones.
Should an Indian business choose .in or .com?
- .in tells people and search engines you serve India. A good choice for local businesses.
- .com is the most familiar worldwide; useful if you sell abroad.
- If both are available and affordable, buy both and point one to the other.
Keep it short, easy to spell when said aloud, and without hyphens or numbers. You can check availability with the domain search on the FebTech homepage.
What hosting does a small business website need?
| Website | Hosting that usually fits |
|---|---|
| 5 to 10 page business site | Good shared hosting with SSL and daily backups |
| Online store or booking system | Higher shared plan or a small cloud server |
| Web app or heavy traffic | Cloud or VPS, sized to the load |
Look for free SSL, backups you can restore, servers in or near India, and support that answers. Avoid the cheapest first-year offers whose renewal price is several times higher.
Do you need business email?
Yes, if you send quotes or invoices. An address like info@yourbusiness.in looks more trustworthy than a free email account and stays with the company when staff change.
Whose name should the domain and hosting be in?
Yours, always. Register the domain and hosting in your company's name with your own email, and give your developer access rather than ownership. If an agency registers them under its own account, moving away later can hold your website hostage. FebTech sets these accounts up in the client's name on every project.
