Establishing a strong online presence is crucial for any business. For many small businesses and startups, the idea of building a full-fledged website can feel overwhelming both in terms of cost and complexity. This is where a single-page website shines as an effective, affordable solution that complements your social media and Google Business profiles.
What is a Single-Page Website?
A single-page website condenses all essential information about your business onto one streamlined page. Instead of navigating through multiple tabs, visitors can scroll through your services, about section, contact details, and testimonials all in one place. This simplicity can significantly improve user experience, especially on mobile devices where scrolling is intuitive.
Why Choose a Single-Page Website?
Cost-Effective: Single-page websites are generally more affordable to build and maintain. This makes them ideal for businesses operating on a tight budget but still wanting a professional online presence.
Fast Setup: Because there’s less content and fewer pages, you can get your website live in as little as 24 hours, helping you start attracting customers sooner.
Focused Messaging: With a single-page layout, your messaging remains clear and direct, helping visitors quickly understand what you offer and encouraging them to take action.
How It Works with Your Facebook Page
Facebook remains a dominant platform for local businesses to engage with customers. Your Facebook page allows for community building, sharing updates, and receiving reviews. However, Facebook’s layout limits how much detailed business information you can display.
A single-page website fills this gap by providing a central hub that you own and control where potential customers can find comprehensive information about your services, pricing, and contact details. You can link your website on your Facebook page, in posts, and in advertisements, driving traffic to a professional site that builds trust and credibility beyond social media.
Enhancing Visibility with Google Business Profile
Your Google Business Profile helps local customers find your business on Google Search and Maps. It showcases key info like location, hours, photos, and customer reviews, but it doesn’t offer space for in-depth service descriptions or detailed content.
By pairing your Google profile with a single-page website, you provide searchers with a destination for more detailed information, boosting your SEO and enhancing your business’s online credibility. Google also values websites with good content and mobile-friendly design, which can improve your rankings over time.
The Power of Integration
Together, your single-page website, Facebook page, and Google Business Profile create a powerful online ecosystem:
Your website acts as the authoritative source for detailed information and lead capture.
Your Facebook page engages your community and drives interaction.
Your Google profile ensures you appear in local searches with up-to-date business info.
This integration helps you cover all bases—from discovery to engagement to conversion without the complexity or cost of a large website.
Conclusion
A single-page website is more than just a simple web presence; it’s a strategic tool that complements your social media and Google Business profiles. Affordable, easy to manage, and designed for clear communication, it helps you get found, build trust, and convert visitors into customers.
For small businesses ready to grow their online footprint without breaking the bank, starting with a single-page website alongside their Facebook and Google profiles is a smart, effective choice.
When choosing a web hosting provider, most people focus on price and features. But what many don’t see until it’s too late is how big-name hosting companies use sneaky tactics to keep you locked in – making it difficult (and expensive) to leave.
Common “Hostage Tactics” Used by Big Hosting Companies
1. Auto-Renewal Traps
Most large hosting companies store your card details and automatically renew your domain or hosting plan without proper warning. Some even renew a full year in advance – and don’t offer refunds once the charge is made.
2. Hard-to-Cancel Accounts
Trying to leave? Good luck. Many providers:
Hide the cancellation option deep in the dashboard
Force you to call support or open a ticket to cancel
Ask you to verify with multiple steps just to stop a simple renewal
3. Locked-In Discounts
That £1 domain or £2.99 hosting deal? It’s often tied to conditions:
Can’t transfer away for 60–90 days
Full price charged if you leave early
Extra charges to access basic features like DNS or email

If you’re seeing warnings or errors when visiting your website, you’re not alone – and it’s a common issue that’s easy to fix. Modern web browsers like Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and others protect users by alerting them when a website isn’t fully secure. These alerts help prevent data theft, phishing, and other security risks.
What Are These Warnings?
When your website does not have SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) enabled meaning your site is not served over HTTPS. Browsers will warn visitors that your site is “Not Secure.” Here’s what that means and how it looks on popular browsers:
Google Chrome:Shows a “Not Secure” label in the address bar and warns visitors that their connection isn’t safe. On pages where visitors enter information (like contact forms), Chrome may even block submissions.
Safari:Displays “Not Secure” next to your URL and may show pop-up warnings telling users your website is not secure. In some cases, Safari may block access to the site altogether.
Firefox:Shows a red warning padlock icon and alerts users to potential security risks with your site’s certificate.
These warnings can confuse and alarm visitors, causing them to leave your site — losing you potential customers or leads.
Why Do These Warnings Appear?
Browsers require websites to use HTTPS – a secure version of HTTP – which encrypts the data between visitors and your site. Without HTTPS, information like passwords, contact details, or payment data can be intercepted by hackers.
If your website lacks SSL, the browser flags this as a security risk and alerts your visitors to protect them.
How To Fix This Issue – Add Domain SSL
The good news: you can resolve these warnings immediately by adding SSL to your domain.
Our Domain SSL service secures your website with HTTPS, ensuring that all communication between your visitors and your site is encrypted and safe.

1. What is a Custom Domain Email Address / Mailbox?
A Custom Domain Email Address (or mailbox) is an email account that uses your own website’s domain name instead of a generic email provider like Gmail or Yahoo. For example, instead of john.doe@gmail.com, you would have john.doe@yourdomain.co.uk.
This mailbox lets you send and receive emails using your custom domain, giving you greater control and professionalism.
How is this different from full email hosting?
A mailbox provided with your domain offers basic email capabilities, typically accessed via webmail or configured in email clients using POP or IMAP protocols. Full email hosting services usually provide additional features like calendars, contacts, advanced spam filtering, and larger storage limits.
Why use a domain email address?
Professionalism: Using a custom domain email looks more credible and trustworthy to your clients and contacts.
Branding: Every email you send promotes your brand and reinforces your online presence.
Control: You manage your email addresses and accounts, not a third-party free provider.
Customisation: Create personalised addresses like sales@yourdomain.co.uk or info@yourdomain.co.uk tailored to your business needs.
2. How to Get a Mailbox?
If you have a parked domain using our default nameservers, you’re eligible for a custom domain mailbox.
Enter your full email address (e.g., john.doe@yourdomain.co.uk) and password to log in.
Once logged in, you can send, receive, and manage your emails from anywhere with internet access.
Using Third-Party Email Clients
We recommend using Roundcube Webmail to send and receive emails through your mailbox, however, if you are up for the technical challenge then you might prefer to use unsupported desktop or mobile email applications like Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird, or Apple Mail, you can configure them with the following settings:
Incoming Mail Server (IMAP): microlite1.com
Port: 993 (SSL/TLS)
Incoming Mail Server (POP3): microlite1.com
Port: 995 (SSL/TLS)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): Use your Internet Service Provider’s SMTP server
Username: Your full mailbox name (e.g., john-doe-yourdomain-co-uk)
Password: Your mailbox password
Note: IMAP keeps your emails synced across all devices, while POP downloads emails to your device.
Mobile Access Tips
Use the built-in mail apps on your iPhone, Android, or tablet.
Enter the same server settings as above for IMAP or POP.
For quick access without setup, simply use Roundcube webmail via your mobile browser.
4. Setting or Resetting Your Mailbox Password
How to Change Your Mailbox Password
You can easily change your mailbox password anytime through your client area:
Choose an upgrade option to a higher storage plan.
Complete the upgrade process – your storage will increase immediately or within a few minutes.
Contact support if you need assistance with upgrading.
6. Spam Protection and Security
Spam Filtering with SpamAssassin
To help keep your mailbox clean and free from unwanted junk emails, we use SpamAssassin, a powerful spam filtering system running on our mail servers.
Incoming emails are automatically scanned and scored for spam-like characteristics.
Emails identified as spam are marked or moved to a spam/junk folder, helping you focus on important messages.
Malware Scanning with Maldet
In addition to spam filtering, we employ Maldet (Malware Detect) to scan all email attachments for malware and viruses.
Suspicious or harmful attachments are flagged or blocked to protect your device and data.
How to Report Spam or Phishing Emails
If you receive a suspicious email that bypasses the filters:
Do not open attachments or click links in the email.
Forward the email to our support team at abuse@uk-cheapest.co.uk with the subject “Spam/Phishing Report.”
Delete the email from your mailbox after reporting.
7. Configuring Email Forwarding
How to Forward Emails from Your Domain Email Address
If you have a parked domain using our default nameservers, you can easily forward emails sent to your domain’s aliases to any external mailbox of your choice. This is perfect if you want emails addressed to info@yourdomain.co.uk or sales@yourdomain.co.uk to be redirected to your main mailbox or another email account.
