Web Domain & Hosting at Melbourne Design Studio

Domain registration, DNS, SSL, email and hosting are connected but distinct. We document account ownership, reduce single-person dependency and recommend an environment suited to the platform, traffic and support needs.

What’s included

  • Migration

    Careful migration of website files, databases and settings to new hosting, tested before the switch.

  • Uptime monitoring

Will we own the domain?

Your business should remain the registrant of your domain wherever possible. We check ownership details during the review and help transfer control to you if it is held elsewhere.

Can you migrate our website without downtime?

We plan migrations carefully to minimise disruption, including testing on the new server and switching DNS during a quiet period. We cannot promise zero downtime, as DNS changes take time to update across the internet.

Is email included?

Email configuration is scoped separately where required. We can set up DNS records for your email provider and advise on options such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.

Why is our website slow?

Slow sites are often caused by underpowered hosting, large images, too many plugins or third-party scripts. A review identifies the likely causes and recommends practical fixes.

Do you provide hosting?

We can recommend and manage hosting on established providers, or work with your existing provider. The right choice depends on your site, budget and support needs.

What happens if our domain expires?

If a domain expires your website and email can stop working, and the domain may eventually be lost. We document renewal dates and can manage renewals as part of ongoing support.
