A domain is the bit people type to find you. That is the whole idea — everything else about it is administration, and the administration is ours to deal with, not yours.
The middle part is the only bit you choose. The rest is plumbing.
Whatever it is registered with — GoDaddy, Namecheap, Rogers, a nephew who set it up in 2014 — we connect it to your new website.
We find you something short, spellable and available, and register it in your name. Not ours — yours, with you as the legal owner on the record.
Not ready to decide? Go live today on an address like yourbusiness.sitanza.com and move to your own whenever you like.
Will this break my email? It is the right question, and it is the one thing we are careful about above all else. Your email runs on records that sit beside your website records, and we do not touch them. Before any change we show you exactly what will be altered, and email records are excluded.
Do you hold my domain hostage? No. If we register one for you, you are the registrant. Ask for it and we transfer it, whether you are staying or leaving.
In the United States, .com is what people expect and what they type — take it if the name is free. A country address (.ca in Canada, .co.uk in Britain) reads as local and is often easier to get when the .com is taken, and it is fine if you serve one area. Either works: the difference matters far less than the name being short and easy to say out loud on the phone.
Short, and survivable over a bad phone line. Avoid hyphens, numbers and clever spellings — every one of them is a thing a customer will get wrong. If you have to spell it out twice, pick another.
Very common, and rarely a problem. Adding your town or your trade usually solves it and helps you locally at the same time — something like yourname-plumbing-newmarket.ca. We will suggest options.
A new address is usually live within an hour. Connecting one you already own can take a few hours while the change spreads across the internet — we tell you when it is done and check it ourselves.
The security certificate, which encrypts what visitors send you through your contact form. Every Sitanza website has one, it renews itself, and it costs you nothing. Without it browsers show a warning that frightens people away.
Yes — you@yourbusiness.ca looks considerably better than a free webmail address on a van. We do not sell mailboxes, but we will point you at a good provider and make sure the setup does not break anything.
