YOUR ADDRESS ON THE INTERNET
Give Your Website a Domain Name People Can Remember
A domain name is the address people enter into a browser to reach your website. It may also be used for professional email addresses connected to your business.
Menu Surgeon can register and maintain domain names for clients who want their website-related services handled in one place. Available extensions and prices vary, but the most commonly used options are:
.COM
$12 per year
.NET
$16 per year
.ORG
$14 per year
We recommend choosing a domain that is short, easy to spell and closely connected to your business name. Before registering anything, we can help you determine whether the name you want is available and whether it is a practical choice for your business.
Recommended Domain Protection
Domain Protection adds additional verification before important changes or transfers can be made to the domain. It also provides additional time to recover an expired domain when a renewal fails because of a billing problem.
Domain Protection is 99¢ per month, billed annually at $11.88.
ENCRYPTED WEBSITE CONNECTIONS
Help Protect Information Traveling Between Your Website and Its Visitors
An SSL certificate verifies a website’s identity and enables an encrypted connection between the website’s server and the visitor’s browser.
When SSL is working properly, visitors will generally see https:// and a secure-connection indicator in their browser. SSL is especially important for websites that collect information through contact forms, account logins, online payments or other interactive features.
Every Menu Surgeon WordPress hosting account includes an SSL certificate at no additional charge. A standalone certificate is available when a website needs SSL but is not covered by one of our hosting accounts.
Standalone SSL Certificate:
$40 per year, per certificate
Automatically drafted annually using a stored credit card.
ADDITIONAL LAYERS OF PROTECTION
Some Websites Need More Than Standard Security
Menu Surgeon WordPress hosting already includes important protection such as daily malware scanning, malware removal, hack repair, backups, SSL and website restoration.
Advanced Website Security is available for websites that need protection beyond those standard hosting features. Depending on the website and its risk level, the service may include:
- Daily automated backups
- Additional malware monitoring and cleanup
- DDoS protection
- An additional Web Application Firewall
- Additional protection against malicious website traffic
Not every website needs this upgrade. We will review the website and explain whether the additional service is justified before recommending it.
Advanced Website Security:
$16 per month, per website
