Domain registration and web hosting help
If you are a business, company or organization just trying to take their business online for the first time, why take your focus from activities that drive the most results now?
Why take your eyes off your current sales activities to pour hour after hour online trying to figure out which domain registrar / hosting company you should use for your site? If it makes sense to you to get someone to do all that work for you, hire a freelancer on Niabusiness.com to:
- research hosting companies that are more in line with what you are after (features, disk quota, monthly bandwidth, ease of use and pricing)
- research the best sites to do your domain registration
- send you back the report with their findings (on the best hosts and registrars you can use) so you can give them the okay on buying a hosting plan and registering a domain for you (you will pay for the domain & hosting yourself – with your own money of course).
Installation and website / blog setup
Once you have a domain name and a hosting plan, you can outsource the installation bit to a freelancer as well.
In the Niabusiness WordPress category, you will find listings with people able to log in to your dashboard (cPanel, Plesk etc.) and install WordPress manually (via FTP using FileZilla / File Manager) after creating the necessary databases or install WordPress for you using auto installer software (like Softaculous or Quick Installer).
The freelancers listed in the WP category can also install an SSL certificate for your site using the free offerings by Let’s Encrypt SSL (or other paid services).
Once your site is up, the freelancer you outsource work to, can install the necessary plugins and themes to your site and configure them.

- At theme level. So, may be by introducing custom CSS code to your theme, making changes to a premium theme you buy, adding features to a free theme you download online, creating a custom theme just for your site from scratch (from Adobe Photoshop mockups you send them) or building a child theme just for you if you are already using one of the popular WordPress theme frameworks like Genesis.
- On specific pages. So, altering the layout of certain pages on your WordPress site using a pagebuilder or custom code. There are freelancers that can help you with light customization work like these. Go to the WordPress category to check the ad listings.

Backup services
If you want to make sure you have more than one backup file / location for your site for when things go wrong, you can hire freelancers to help you:
- backup your WordPress installation on the space allocated to you by your web hosting provider. They can do this via your cPanel dashboard – and use a tool like Softaculous to do the actual backup.
- backup your WordPress website or blog using a WordPress backup plugin such as Updraftplus (which you can use for free to backup WordPress to Google Drive, Microsoft Azure, Dropbox, Amazon AWS among other providers).
- setup your site to backup to Jetpack (by Automattic) once you pay for the service.
