Who this is for
Anyone starting a site, moving one, or inheriting a setup they did not build: business sites, portfolios, blogs, landing pages, and online stores.

Find the Right Home for Your Website
Choosing where a website lives tangles together domains, hosting, builders, and email, usually in vocabulary nobody explained. This guide is a decision tool you hand to an AI assistant: it interviews you in plain language, maps what you already have, and recommends a home for your site without risking your domain or your email.
Free. No email required. The download is the complete guide, not a sample.
What is inside.
The guide is written for the assistant to run, and for you to follow along. These are its working parts.
The quick start
One sentence to paste with the PDF, and the two ways in: starting fresh, or translating the setup you already have.
How the interview runs
Everyday questions first. When a technical term genuinely matters, it is named, explained in one plain sentence, and tied to your decision.
The five layers
Domain, DNS, website, email, and the builder, treated as separate choices, because they are, even when one company sells all five.
The core questions
The interview itself, with branching: a simple business site is never asked about databases, and a store is never skipped past payments.
What you should receive
One primary recommendation, up to two alternatives, a keep-what-you-have option when it is reasonable, and a step-by-step plan.
Rules that protect what you have
No traffic changes, domain transfers, or cancellations without your explicit approval, and current prices verified before any recommendation.
The core idea.
Start with the website, not the vocabulary. You describe what you want the site to help you do; the assistant handles the technical mapping in the background and never turns the conversation into a quiz.
And protect what already works. A website can move without the domain moving, and email can stay exactly where it is. The guide sequences changes so only one thing is ever at risk at a time.
The sentence you start with.
Attach the PDF to a conversation with an AI assistant, paste this, and the interview begins.
The start-here prompt, exactly as printed
Use the attached Find the Right Home for Your Website as your guide. Start by asking me, in everyday language, what I want my website to help me do. Ask no more than three short questions at a time. Do not assume I know website terminology. When a technical term is genuinely useful, name it, explain it in one plain sentence, and tell me why it matters to my decision. If I already have a website, domain, or business email, help me work out what I have without turning the conversation into a technical quiz. Do not recommend a provider until you have enough information. Verify current prices, important limits, renewal costs, and migration requirements before giving me a recommendation.
