Create Your Business Identity
Domain Name
Registering a domain name is the first step to starting a website for your business.
What is a domain name?
Your domain name is the address for your website. For example, our domain is newmexicoregisteredagent.com. Domains are registered through domain registrars (like ours!) and need to be renewed (usually annually).
How do I choose a domain name?
Here’s how to choose a domain name for your business in 3 steps.
- Choose a domain that matches or complements your business name. For example, a solar energy business in Taos called Restorative Rays might choose the domain “restorativerays.com” or “taossolarenergy.net.”
- Choose a domain extension (also called top-level domain or TLD). The most common domain extension is .com, but you can choose from a range of extensions, including .net and .org.
- Find out if your preferred domain is available and how much it costs.
How much does it cost to get a domain name?
The cost will depend on the domain registrar you use and the market value of the domain. Domains that are in higher demand will be more expensive, and some TLDs are pricier than others. (For example, .com domains tend to be a little more expensive than .net domains.)
With New Mexico Business Identity, domains are free up to $25 for an entire year. For domains valued over $25, you get $25 off the total price of the domain. After the first year, the price will depend on the value of the domain, but the most common price for our domains is just $25/year.
Can I buy more than 1 domain name?
It can be a good idea to buy multiple domains related to your primary business domain. For example, you may consider buying domains that contain common misspellings of your domain, are similar to your name, or use a different TLD (like .org or .net), making it easier for your clients to find you.
Business Website
We make it easy for anyone to create an attractive, custom website for their business. Our website builder comes with easy-to-use drag-and-drop tools.
Can I transfer my website to another web host if I cancel?
Yes! A lot of website-building services use proprietary software, which means your website is technically owned by them. If you cancel the service, you’ll lose access to your website. Not us. Our website builder uses open source software, so even if you decide to cancel our service, you can keep using your site through another web hosting platform.
Plus, unlike a lot of website builders that tack your domain name onto theirs, like “bigwebsitebuildingcompany.com/MyBusinessNameHere,” with New Mexico Registered Agent, your website belongs to you, not us, and so does your domain. So the address for your website would simply be “MyBusinessNameHere.com” or whatever you choose.
SSL Security
SSL security is essential for keeping the information shared through your website out of the wrong hands. It also shows site visitors that your website is secure and trustworthy.
What is SSL?
SSL stands for “Secure Sockets Layer.” It’s a security protocol that encrypts the data transmitted through the website, keeping it from being intercepted by hackers. Websites that have SSL security have “HTTPS” at the beginning of their URL, instead of “HTTP.”
Does my website need SSL security?
Most likely, yes. Websites without SSL security are flagged by search engines as “not secure,” and they won’t show up in search results. Without up-to-date SSL security, visitors will get a warning that your site isn’t safe. This isn’t good for reaching customers and doing business online. If you plan to have e-commerce on your website, it’s especially important to have SSL, which protects your customers’ financial data.
Professional Email Service
To make a good impression with clients, you need a professional email address that’s clearly linked to your business. With our business email service, you get up to ten secure email addresses ending in your unique domain. (For example: [email protected].)
How do I make my email address professional?
It helps if your business email address has a unique domain that matches your business name. Business and marketing emails that end in a generic domain (gmail.com, yahoo.com, etc.) are likely to go straight to the spam folder. Customers may even mistake your business for a scam. Having an email address with your business name in the domain makes your business look legitimate and like it’s been around for a while.
Additionally, even if you’re the only person working at your business, you can make your business look larger and more established by having multiple email addresses linked to the same domain, such as [email protected], [email protected], etc.
Business Phone Number
With New Mexico Business Identity, you get a private business phone accessible from your own mobile device with our free app, available in U.S. Android and iOS app stores. You can even choose your own phone number (with a local New Mexico area code!). Our phone service comes with unlimited talk and text, call forwarding, Visual Voicemail, Outbound Caller ID Display of your company name, and lifetime customer support from our local Albuquerque team.
Do I need a business phone number?
Many small business owners use their personal phone number for business, but this can get you into trouble. For one thing, when the phone rings, you may not know whether it’s a business or personal call. If a customer calls about an order and you answer, “This is Cheryl,” they may question the professionalism of your business.
Even more importantly, putting your personal phone number on your website and social media makes you vulnerable to spammers, scammers, and other creeps. Better to keep your personal contact information private and use a dedicated business phone number instead.
