Getting started with hosting is simpler than it sounds. Whether you’re launching a personal blog, a business site, or a full-blown SEO campaign, the essentials are the same—and we’ve designed our hosting plans to grow with you.
Here’s what you’ll need to hit the trail:
🧭 1. A Domain Name
Your domain is your digital address—like yourbusiness.com
.
If you already own one, great! If not, we can help you register a domain that fits your brand. Keep it short, memorable, and relevant to your audience. Bonus points if it’s easy to spell and pronounce.
🧢 Trail Tip: If your domain is already registered elsewhere, we can help you point it to our servers—no need to transfer unless you want to.
🏕️ 2. A Hosting Plan
This is where your website lives. Our hosting plans are modular, meaning you can start small and scale up as your traffic and needs grow.
Choose based on:
- Traffic expectations (small site vs. high-volume)
- Storage needs (media-heavy vs. minimalist)
- Support level (DIY vs. fully managed)
We offer transparent pricing, no surprise fees, and clear upgrade paths.
🔧 3. Site Files or a CMS
If you’re building from scratch, you’ll need your site files ready to upload.
If you’re using WordPress (which we recommend for flexibility and control), we’ll help you install it with one click and configure the basics.
🧢 Trail Tip: WordPress is great for SEO, blogging, and scalable design. We optimize our servers specifically for it.
📬 4. Email, Backups & Support Preferences
Decide if you want:
- Branded email (like
you@yourdomain.com
) - Automated backups for peace of mind
- Priority support for quick troubleshooting
These are optional add-ons you can activate anytime. We keep it modular so you’re never locked into features you don’t need.
🧢 Final Trail Tip:
You don’t need to know everything upfront. That’s why we built the Yeti Help Desk—to guide you through setup, answer questions, and troubleshoot hiccups. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, we’re here to make hosting feel less like a mountain and more like a well-marked trail.
