Whether a large or small business, an institution or private user, anyone planning on creating an online presence will require the appropriate storage space for their future website. This is where web hosting services come into play: the provision of storage space for a website by a hosting provider (also known as a provider). Such storage space is referred to as web space. The provision of web space on a server (a computer designed for this purpose), as well as providing the necessary network connections, is usually done at a cost. To put it simply: the customers rent web space from a web hosting service provider.

In order to be able to offer customers the highest technical standards at such cheap prices, Maroon Hosting provides web hosting in the form of shared hosting.

We accept credit or debit cards, PayPal, bank transfers, and Direct Debit. The first payment must be made by credit or debit card, PayPal, or bank transfer.

No, if you already have a domain name, you can simply type it in when making an order and the system will ask you whether you wish to transfer the domain name to Maroon Hosting or update the nameservers to ‘link’ your existing domain to your new hosting service with us.

If you don’t already have a domain name, you can purchase one when you order your hosting through Maroon Hosting, or you can purchase one from another provider and point the nameservers to that.

It depends which package you choose. The more expensive packages offer more customisation options and built-in marketing tools within the eCommerce website builder.

• Pick your products
  Think about what you want to sell online, and make sure you have the resources or inventory to list items — be it services, digital or traditional products — for sale on your site. 
• Choose a plan 
  If you’re offering services, like clothes or career coaching, check out our Pro plan. It lets you accept payments from customers who book services on your website. If you need to sell products. 
• Set up your online store
  Our easy-to-customize store templates help you quickly set up your store, complete with product descriptions, prices, shipping, and payment options. Just pick one to get started, or dive right into the store builder and type in your industry to start with a relevant template.
• Pick a domain name
  Your domain name is the address where your online store lives. Pick something that’s the same as, or similar to, your business name. This makes it easier for people to remember your website’s address and reinforces your brand.
• Start selling online
  This is the fun part! Sell your products and accept payments directly on your online store, or connect your site to popular marketplaces and social channels, like Amazon or Instagram, to sell in more places. Don’t worry, your inventory syncs across all your sales channels, so you can avoid overselling while tracking everything from your Maroon Online Store dashboard.
• Market your business
  Let people know about your business and what services or products you offer with built-in marketing tools. Create email campaigns, reply to social posts and track your online presence right from your Maroon Online Store dashboard. The more you show up online in all the places your customers shop, the more chances you get to turn online interactions into customers.
