Every website needs two basic things: a domain name, which is its address, and hosting, which is the server where its files live. Choices made here affect speed, trust and how easy it is to manage the site later.
Choosing a domain name
- Keep it short, easy to say and easy to spell.
- Use the .am extension for a local audience, or .com if you plan to work internationally.
- Avoid hyphens and numbers when possible.
- Register it in your own name or your company name.
Choosing hosting
- A server location close to your visitors.
- Automatic backups and an SSL certificate.
- Fast support that answers in a language you understand.
- Enough resources for your traffic, with room to grow.
Keep control of your accounts
Whoever builds your site, make sure the domain and hosting accounts belong to you. We build websites on WordPress and with other technologies, and in every case we give clients full ownership of their domain, hosting and content.
Frequently asked questions
Is .am or .com better?
It depends on your audience. .am looks local and trusted in Armenia, while .com is more common for international business.
Can I change hosting later?
Yes. A website can be moved to another host, but it should be done carefully to avoid downtime.
