We can help you get a domain name for your business depending on whether you want a Botswana TLD e.g. .co.bw, .bw or a more common TLD like .com or .org. Many other TLDs are available depending on the Domain Registrar.

With a domain name you can choose which name you want as long as it is not claimed anywhere else since it needs to be unique. In most cases businesses choose domain names that are the same as their business names. If the the business name is too long, it can be shortened to your preference.

In Botswana you can buy a domain name from BTCL and other companies like bwdomains.co.bw, 101domain.com, botswanadomains.com, etc. We have so far only used BTCL for local businesses we have helped because for some time BTCL has been the only known popular choice. What is important though is to make sure the company is an accredited registrar before purchase.

The other important thing is that pricing will vary from registrar to registrar and also bear in mind that the domain name is renewable yearly. If you feel this is too much to grasp we can help you with purchasing of your domain name. Whether we help you or another agency like us make sure the domain name is registed in your name. That way you have ownership of the domain name.

A domain name is the identity of your business and it is important that it is registered in your names. However, feel free to host your website with the internet marketing company that is helping you with digital marketing services if they are offering hosting services.

There are several hosting companies available in Botswana but we have not had any experience with them. We offer in-house hosting using hosting facilities where this website is hosted. We also prefer to host any business that we perform SEO for or who we have continued service with. This is because it makes easier for us to monitor and give timely support. We will also be able to know when the site is down.

However, hosting your business website is not mandotory that it should be with us, it is only a preference and as an added advantage it is a platform we are used to and we would know what questions to ask in cases where we need assistance.

Another added advantage is that they have a fast response times. In all the cases we have had to ask for help it was immediate with high level of service. In consequence we can transfer this to you as our customer.

We do not provide domain registration in Botswana but we do help with the process to our customers free of charge. Though there are many Domain Registrars we have helped our customers with registering a domain name with BTCL.

We provide free hosting to our customers for 1 year but it is still free should they decide to continue with us into another year as long as they engage us. Where a website was only without any month to month services the hosting is renewable at a nominal fee.

We prefer to host our customers where we have our website hosted because support becomes a lot easier and we have come to trust our hosting provider. Whenever we have issues like a website being down for any reason, or if there is a malicious threat, etc we have always had splendid correspondence and help from them. So it re-assures that we will be able to transfer the same to our valued customers.

Designing a developing a website depends on a number of factors such that the price varies immensely. However, at VirincSolutions a one page website starts at P5000.00 with basic SEO and free hosting – you need to purchase a domain name separately (and we can assist with the purchase). Depending on your business a one-page would be a good start-up website but not recommended in a market where your competitors already have online presence.

Then the price goes higher as with a 5-page Website where you have your Home, Services, About Us, Contact Us, etc. as separate pages and incorporating Social Media platforms to sync the content. We sit down with you and give you options and accompanying reasons why options differ and from what you will be telling us we can come up with a package that suits you.

We beleive the idea of having a website is to market yourself at mimimal cost as much as possible. An effective website that does a good job of marketing a business should be able to rank on positions 1 to 3 of the search engine results and occupy one of the positions in the 3-pack slot in Google for local searches. This becomes difficult if you have competition in your area of operation.

As an example a real estate company or agent will do badly with a one-page website as compared to a equine massage therapist in Botswana. This is simply because there are a lot of real estate agents with websites (whether well optimized or not) and very few people of massage horses in Botswana. So if your business is highly unique with very low competition we advice a one-page website but where there are other businesses in your market that already have websites a one-page would not be good strategy

Some people would want to have a one-page website because they are using PPC, TV, Radio newspaper ads and other publications as a way to funnel people to the (one-page) website. At VirincSolutions we can reduce this cost siginifcantly if you are already spending thousands on advertising by buying PPC, or any form of traditional advertsiing.

We advice our clients to treat a website as a marketing employee who earns a salary. We also ask them to consider how much one client is worth to them? This way it is easier to give a website the attention it deserves such that it can work for you seamlessly to yield high ROI.
