Pros and cons of creating a Google site for small businesses

5 reasons to host websites on Google Cloud Platform instead Google Cloud Platform has emerged as a front-runner in the world of cloud hosting, providing a robust, reliable, and user-friendly solution for web hosting businesses, developers, and agencies alike. Thanks to Google's extensive infrastructure, cutting-edge tech, and best-in-class security, Google Cloud Platform delivers in the ways that matter most for your business: performance, cost, and scalability. Let’s take a look at how Google Cloud Platform meets the needs of today’s digital agencies. 1. Cost When it comes to AWS vs Google Cloud pricing, Google Cloud is generally more affordable than AWS (Kitrum). Hosting pricing alone isn’t likely to be a very significant cost as a provider of digital solutions, but extras like AWS’s separate service plans can add up. Vendasta’s Website Pro includes Google Cloud hosting, making it the perfect platform for building and managing client websites—no matter how many website projects you have on the go. You can avoid the extra monthly charges for customer service as well, since Website Pro with Google Cloud hosting includes around-the-clock support, no matter where you are. Website Pro also includes a free content delivery network (CDN), which can speed up websites without any added expense. Scaling your website design business to more clients? Agencies building and managing many websites can reduce their cost of Website Pro with Google hosting even further by accessing wholesale pricing through Vendasta’s membership tiers. This can tilt the balance of Google Cloud vs AWS pricing in further favor of Google. Bundling hosting and web design with SEO or other services will quickly render the cost of hosting negligible, creating a reliable, repeatable monthly income stream from hosting clients. 2. User interface Whether you manage all aspects of your clients’ hosting in-house, you outsource to white-label experts, or you resell website solutions to your clients, user-friendliness is a valuable attribute when it comes to cloud hosting. Through Website Pro’s suite of developer tools, anyone can quickly learn to manage all the important aspects of their hosting solution. Users can take extra back-ups on top of the regularly scheduled ones and clear their cache to optimize loading speeds on demand by clicking a button in the Website Pro dashboard. Developer tools can be also be accessed through phpMyAdmin with the click of a button, without having to log into a separate hosting provider account to access MySQL. When managing a long list of WordPress websites, having these developer tools and Google Search Console insights quickly accessible becomes a meaningful time-saver. Source Instead of having to log into each unique hosting account for every website your agency builds and manages, Website Pro with Google Cloud Hosting can be used to manage all of your websites from a single dashboard. Source AWS may be good for website hosting, but if it trips users up with technical details, it’s more likely to cause frustration for customers. 3. Performance Choosing a cloud hosting provider that reliably delivers optimal performance isn’t just important for your client websites: it’s a reflection of your agency’s reputation. If you offer website services, bundling with hosting is a no-brainer. But as a hosting reseller, the performance of your cloud hosting provider will directly impact how reliable and trustworthy your clients perceive your agency to be. That’s a tall order for a cloud hosting provider, and Google Cloud Platform is up to the task. Thanks to the most up-to-date infrastructure in the world, your Google Cloud WordPress websites will run perfectly, every time. When almost half of visitors expect pages to load in 2 seconds or less, that matters (Vendasta). Server provisioning and network configurations are automatically managed, so that you can focus on the more critical aspects of your business. A truly stress-free solution, using Google Cloud Platform to host your clients’ WordPress websites means their sites will never go down. This means you don’t have to worry about clients losing sales, website traffic, or conversion opportunities due to a hosting issue. When using the best servers in the world, you (and your clients) can have the peace of mind that everything is running as it should, even with no one constantly fussing over it. 4. Scalability Scaling is good, but only when you have the solutions in place to manage multiple small business websites effectively. Hosting your clients’ WordPress websites on the Google Cloud Platform means they can grow painlessly—at least when it comes to their hosting solution. Huge spike in traffic? No problem, thanks to unlimited visits per month and unmetered bandwidth. Rapidly increasing storage needs? Unmetered SSD storage is included in Website Pro with Google Cloud hosting. As client demands grow, their website solution and hosting provider can effortlessly grow along with them. Scaling your agency We’ve talked about scaling to meet your clients’ hosting needs, but what about your agency? Since Website Pro and Google Cloud hosting go hand in hand, it’s worth mentioning the website design and building side of the solution as well. Regardless of which vertical your clients operate in, building on-brand, purpose-built websites hosted on the best and safest network available takes just a few clicks. Whether using a template or building from scratch using a drag-and-drop page builder, client projects can be completed quickly, resulting in responsive, beautiful websites, every time. If you don’t have the capacity in-house to design, create, and manage a growing list of client websites, and you don’t want to deal with the risks and challenges of hiring, you can resell Website Pro as a white-label website builder for clients to use directly, or outsource to white-label experts. By using Vendasta’s white-label web design services, you can continue to offer full-service website design, management, and hosting at scale, without having to spend any of your previous time delivering it. Instead, leave it to the pros working under your agency’s banner. 5. Security An attractive price, user-friendly interface, great performance, and effortless scalability aren’t worth much if they aren’t backed by security. Offering a reliably secure solution to your SMB clients is a must. In an age of increasing cyberattacks, the importance of protecting your clients from malicious attacks and cyber crime is paramount. The cost of failing to do so is serious: from legal liability to costly settlements and lawsuits, businesses have a lot to lose if they don’t properly protect their client data. Website Pro with Google Cloud hosting includes free SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt for every website, ensuring that all client projects have this important layer of protection preventing attackers from scraping private data like credit card info or password credentials. Automated daily backups add another valuable layer of protection, ensuring that websites are preserved and can quickly be re-instated if anything goes wrong, such as a plugin update breaking the front-end of the site. In the event that a back-up needs to be used to restore the website, doing so takes just one click and can easily be done by clients. The bottom line: Google is the most trusted source on the internet for a reason, and this extends to hosting.
