A domain odyssey

Spaceship is for anyone who wants to get online, but also retain the freedom to build their digital world without being locked into ‘standard’ mass-market website builders. You get to choose and connect the domain, hosting, email you want, and keep connecting new services and tools as you (and indeed, we) grow.

It’s the technical magic that connects your products and services. Unbox means you can choose exactly what you need for your website and have it configured and ready to go in a few moments, plus manage it all more easily in one place — your Launchpad. It also means you can mix, match and connect new products and services as your website, project, or business grows.

You bet we will. More domains, more hosting, more website tools, more everything. This is just the tip of the rocket as we continue to build our platform to meet your needs. As a Spaceship customer, you’ll get updates as new lines are added, which you can easily add to your package through the power of Unbox.

Oh so simply… Choosing Spaceship means being able to connect your digital products, such as domains, hosting, email, and SSL certificates together into one simple platform. It also means being able to connect and use some of the world’s top website builders and content management systems (CMS), such as WordPress — the world’s number one website system. This gives you the freedom to pick from thousands of website templates and designs. You simply connect and build what you like.

It’s the best first step. Your domain name is essentially your website’s address. It marks your piece of the internet and makes sure people can find your website when they need to. For your brand and business, though, it can be far more important.

Really, you aren’t just getting a website address. You’re creating an online brand. Checking which domain names are available is a crucial step in deciding on business names in today’s digital world. So it needs careful thought upfront. That’s why we start your website journey with a domain name.

The best ones! Give your website a true internet original like .com, .net, and .org. Each is globally recognized, and synonymous with trust and credibility — all great things to attach to your website and online brand. Watch this space for new additions to our domain portfolio.

It’s easy. Once you’ve decided on your website’s domain name and started the purchase process, you simply choose from specially selected products and bundles. These give you everything you need to get a website online, like your web hosting, for example. Once you have what you need, you can use our revolutionary Unbox process to connect your products together and choose your website content management system (CMS).

In short, it’s a website maker. On a deeper level, a content management system (CMS) is a software application that lets you build and manage your website.

In a word, freedom. Many of today’s ‘website builders’ may look like they offer the world, but often you’re locked in. There’s no easy way to change website providers if you need to adapt at scale. Your content could be trapped.

Spaceship gives you the freedom to choose the right website CMS for you. With something like WordPress, for example, you get to choose from thousands of website templates and have the ability to own, control, and move your content as you like. Switching from a website builder that provides both hosting and a proprietary CMS is much more difficult.

No, not with the top website CMS platforms. They come with different styles and types of templates that let you choose what kind of website you want. No coding necessary.

Take your pick. All our web hosting plans are built to offer power and simplicity, and come with free email mailboxes and SSL certificates. But each is also designed to meet specific needs.

If you’re just starting out with a more basic website, our Essential plan is probably for you. It offers cloud storage and up to 5 domains can be hosted at once. Our Pro and Supreme plans scale these features up to make sure slightly larger websites and ventures also get what they need. So it really depends on what you want, and how big you want to grow. But you can always start small and upgrade when you’re ready.

Spacemail is the next step (make that giant leap) in business email technology. It is specifically designed to securely protect you and your data, while providing a smart email solution. Create email addresses using your domain, keep your inbox clean with machine learning-powered spam filtering, and upgrade your overall business communications.
