Which Option Should You Choose?

If your website will be built with WordPress or another self-hosted CMS, you can register your domain and purchase website hosting through providers such as Hostinger, GoDaddy, Namecheap or Bluehost. Your domain and hosting can be with the same provider or managed separately.

If your website will be built with Wix, Shopify, Squarespace or Webflow, the website hosting environment is managed by the platform itself. You choose the website plan that provides the features your website needs and then register, purchase or connect your custom domain according to the platform.

Emma Websites can help you choose and set up the appropriate domain, hosting provider and website platform based on your business, website requirements, ecommerce needs, expected growth and how you want your website to be managed.
