Domains
Namecheap
A domain registrar where you can search for and buy domains for your next website. It’s their customer service and simple user experience which sets them apart. They also accept Bitcoin as a payment option.
Web hosting
Bluehost
#1 for WordPress website hosting. Host multiple domains under one account so you don’t have to pay for more hosting to start building another website. Clean and intuitive GUI with all the tools you need integrated right in (such as easy one-click WordPress install). Outstanding customer support. Very affordable (only $3.95/mo) plus they’ll give you a free domain!
Accounting
Wave
Free accounting for small business! Yes free! And normally when a service is free, especially on the internet, there is a catch. They want you to upgrade and thus limit what you can do with the free version. Not so with Wave. You get a full-featured cloud-based accounting and finance solution that lets you track expenses, send invoices, collect payments, and balance your books. You can even scan receipts and conduct mobile invoicing right from your phone with their iOS and Android app.
Design
Canva
Create everything from an infographics, social media banners, business cards, letter heads, posters, presentations, invitations, and much more quickly and easily with over 50,000 templates to work with. With an intuitive onscreen drag and drop editor, you can create amazing, eye-catching graphics right on their platform without having to know code nor deal with expensive, difficult-to-use editing software. Free and premium versions available.
