Build Your Business Identity

In simple terms, a domain name is an address for a website. For example, our domain name is northwestregisteredagent.com.

Domains are typically purchased through domain registrars and can be leased for a year or longer. You’ll need to renew your domain name before it expires in order to keep using it.

Yes. If you already own a domain, you can use it with your Business Identity services. During setup, we’ll give you the option to connect your existing domain instead of claiming a new one.

Yes. Your domain is yours for the first year, whether or not you continue with other services. After that, you can renew it annually or transfer it to another provider.

The cost of renewing your domain name will vary depending on the value of your domain name. Domain names are unique in that they’re all valued differently. Some are worth a lot of money, while others are pretty inexpensive. When it comes time to renew, we’ll let you know what the cost of renewal is, and we’ll keep it as low as possible.

A web host is an online service that publishes a website to the internet. Web hosting works by storing your website’s files and data on a physical server and transferring this data to the browsers of your site visitors. A good web hosting service will also have security measures in place to protect their clients from cyber attacks.

When you get your website through our Business identity service, you’ll get easy-to-use, fast web hosting with Privacy by Default®.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) keeps your website safe by encrypting information passed between your site and its visitors. It’s included with your Business Identity website to protect user data and build trust. Search engines prefer it too.

When SSL is active, your website URL changes from http to https. That extra “s” tells visitors your site is secure. Most modern browsers expect it and will flag sites without it as “Not Secure,” which can drive people away. SSL helps protect your users and your reputation.

Open source software is freely available for anyone to use, modify, and build upon. With Business Identity, your website is built using open source templates, which means you can fully customize it to fit your brand. Even if you stop using our service, the code is still yours, so you can take your entire website with you and transfer it to another provider anytime.

Using a business email like you@yourdomain.com builds trust and reinforces your brand. It also adds an extra layer of security that personal email services don’t always provide.

A dedicated business line keeps your personal number private, makes your business look more professional, and helps you stay organized.

Our service includes a local phone number and a mobile app, so you can take calls, check voicemail, and manage your business line from anywhere.

If you cancel Business Identity services, your email and website will go offline, but you’ll still have access to any saved content or data. You can download your content before canceling or choose to keep select services.

No. We’ll notify you before the trial ends so you can choose what to keep. You’re in control. Cancel any service at any time with just a click in your account.
