🌐 Where to Buy Your Domain Name for Your Small Business or Trades Business
Every professional business — whether you’re a builder, electrician, carpenter, or plumber — needs a domain name. Your domain is the online address for your business, the name people will type into their browsers to find you.
It’s not just a technical step; it’s the foundation of your digital presence. From your business email to your website, your Google profile, and even your invoices — your domain name represents your brand online.
In this video, we take you through where to buy your domain name, why we recommend Squarespace Domains, and how it fits into your overall business setup.
💡 Why Choose Squarespace Domains
At BlueWood Office, we strongly recommend Squarespace Domains for our clients in trades and small business. We don’t just say it — it’s the only platform we support when setting up domains for our Digital Starter Packages.
Here’s why we trust it:
1️⃣ Easy to Use
You don’t need to be technical to use Squarespace Domains. The interface is clean, simple, and intuitive. You can easily see and manage your domain name without being overwhelmed by technical jargon.
2️⃣ Clean, Reliable Dashboard
Many domain providers clutter their platforms with add-ons and pop-ups. Squarespace Domains offers a minimal, distraction-free dashboard — so you can manage your settings without confusion.
3️⃣ Secure & Trusted
Squarespace is a well-established provider known for reliability and data security. Your business name — your brand — is in safe hands.
4️⃣ Ideal for Trades and Small Businesses
Tradespeople often don’t have the time to manage complex hosting or domain settings. Squarespace makes this process fast and stress-free, letting you focus on the actual work, not the tech side.
5️⃣ Seamless Management Support
If you’re working with BlueWood Office, we can take over the management side of your domain for you. We handle all configurations, DNS settings, and connections to your business email or website — so you don’t have to worry about it.
🔁 Transferring an Existing Domain
Already have a domain name registered somewhere else (like GoDaddy or Namecheap)?
You can easily transfer it to Squarespace Domains for simpler management.
We handle the admin and technical setup so you can focus on your business.
If you’re not sure how to manage domain records or link them to your systems — we do that for you. You’ll always have access and ownership, but without the stress.
🎯 Why Your Domain Name Matters
A domain name is more than just a web address — it’s part of your business identity.
It:
Makes your business look professional and credible.
Helps customers find and remember you.
Builds consistency across your emails, invoices, and online listings.
Strengthens your brand image in Google search results.
So even if you don’t plan to launch a full website right now, getting your domain secured early is one of the smartest business decisions you can make.
