As a small business owner you wear a lot of hats. So having the right interior design resources and business tools to help simplify things is instrumental. Here are some of the tools I depend on to run my business and I hope they help you run yours.
Siteground is where I host my websites and it’s also the hosting platform I use for all of my development sites for my clients. Siteground offers managed WordPress plans including installation, automated migrations, automatic updates, advanced caching and expert support. In fact their customer support is the best I’ve encountered in ten years.
It’s my preference to keep where I purchase my domain names and where I host my websites separate. Namecheap is one of the leading domain registrars and they offer a wide variety of domains. They also include domain privacy at no additional cost which is a big benefit.
