Website Hosting & Email Delivery Affiliates

When you decide to create a website (WordPress or not) you will need a place where you will park your website on a domain server.  Typically, people buy a domain from the same location where they host it.  This is not always the case but it is recommended to save confusion.  

When looking at a website hosting company you will want to look at several features.  You can always upgrade to a larger plan when needed or downgrade if features become less important. 

The following are a list of different companies that we are affiliated with which may give you bonuses by using the below affiliate link.*

SiteGround

Here are some of the additional bonuses they provide (numbers below are based on their initial StartUp plan; other plans provide greater value):

  • Depending on the “Plan” will give you the number of websites and quite a few other additional features.  We use the GrowBig Plan but it is okay to start off with StartUp.
  • 10+ GB web space
  • 10,000+ monthly visits
  • Free Domain
  • Free WordPress installation
  • Free WordPress Migrator
  • Free Email Migrator
  • WordPress auto-updates
  • Free SSL (security certificate) – this is crucial if you want any form of organic search to find you online.  No SSL = no search results.
  • Daily backup
  • Free CDN (content delivery network)
  • Free email
  • E-commerce enabled
  • And much much more…

On a personal note, I have used them for years and is still the one that I use today.  They are great with customer support as all you need to do is submit a ticket and then you get a code so that you can call in to speak with someone.

Their plans may change so you want to ensure you jump on this one quickly!

Keap (a.k.a., InfusionSoft)

If you are looking for an all-in-one tool that is lightyears apart and is all under one roof then look no further than Keap.

Formerly known as InfusionSoft, this program integrates everything into just one program.  No external integrations with multiple of different companies.  Everything is under one roof.  In Keap you can …

  • CRM (Customer Relationship Manager) – Keep track of all aspects of a customer.  Their names, email addresses, phone numbers, important dates, notes, “tags” given to a client, and much other personal information
  • Email campaigns – create autogenerated emails, send mass emails, and set up email campaigns in a simple drag-and-drop through their Campaign Manager.
  • Create both Landing Pages and Sales Pages – Have a way to have your clients seamlessly go through your sales funnel process by the use of both landing pages and sales pages.  
  • Autopay – If you have membership sites or have someone on a drip pay campaign set this up easily here. 
  • SMS texting and appointment reminders – Set up auto-reminders via a text campaign once they give you permission to be set up on this type of notification. 
  • Calenders & Schedulers – Integrate your Google Calendar (or Microsoft Outlook Calendar) so that people can schedule appointments with you based on your settings and current availability on your calendar.  This includes auto-notification of an upcoming appointment (24-hour and 1-hour reminders). 
  • Multiple Calendars – If you have different kinds of appointments (free online consultation vs meeting in person) you can have multiple calendars based on your and your client’s needs.  
  • E-commerce – If you sell products or services online then you can create Checkout forms for any of the items you offer.  You can also create different price points in case you want to give people discounts.  These are all integrated through your trusted credit card service provider like Stripe, PayPal, WePay, eWay, or AuthrizeNet.  
  • Tagging – Create unique tags to allow people to connect to any of the above processes in one easy step.  A tag can be applied to send someone to a Landing Page, schedule an appointment, start an email sequence, or receive a new product. 
  • Direct integration with CustomerHub – If you have digital or virtual products then with one simple integration and unique tab a person can buy on Keap and receive the product immediately on CustomerHub
  • Direct Zoom Integration – If you have a Zoom account then you can create virtual live events on Zoom with unique Zoom links when someone enrolls in one of your virtual events.  This is a unique Zoom link separate from your account to increase privacy.

Keap has multiple programs and different initial discounts depending on your business’s needs.

Online Courses Platforms

If you plan on creating paid courses (or even free ones) you will need a place to upload them.  

Most platforms will be broken down into Sections and Lessons (they may be called different names on other platforms).  This means you may have a main topic and then the lessons that go with the topics, like a section and a chapter, or a chapter and subchapter.  

CustomerHub for those who are seeking to have online or digital courses for their businesses.

CustomerHub

If you want a great place to host your online courses then this is an ideal location.

  • Student Completion Status – Status of completion for each course.
