Does Ignite Membership from Spark Minds Include Web Hosting Features?
Overview
Yes, Ignite membership includes web hosting for your website; you do not need to maintain a separate third-party hosting plan. However, email hosting services are not included with Ignite and must be managed separately. Below is a detailed explanation to address common queries:
Web Hosting with Ignite
All websites hosted through Ignite benefit from included web hosting services. This means you can discontinue any additional third-party web hosting services you may currently subscribe to, saving costs and simplifying website management. For example, if you already pay for GoDaddy or another hosting provider, you may cancel those hosting plans, provided you don't need them for purposes other than website hosting.
Email Hosting Considerations
While Ignite covers your web hosting requirements, email hosting services (e.g., domain-specific email addresses such as [email protected]) are not included. To maintain operational email services, it’s important to keep your email hosting plan active with your third-party provider, such as GoDaddy. If you do not have an email hosting plan yet, you will need to arrange and manage this separately.
Managing Third-Party Hosting
Ignite’s fully-managed web hosting makes third-party web hosting unnecessary. However, you must maintain active domain hosting and email services with your current provider. For instance, if you previously purchased any hosting upgrades beyond domain and email services (e.g., enhanced server space) with providers like GoDaddy, evaluate whether they are still necessary. If unused, those services can be canceled.
