icare24.az: how we built a rental listings platform
A listings site for renting homes, vehicles, machinery and equipment: how it works, what's inside and what we paid attention to. The platform is for sale as a ready-made business.

Domain, hosting and corporate email
We set up everything your site and email need to work, all in one place: a domain, hosting, an SSL certificate and addresses like name@yourcompany.az. If you order your website from us, the domain, hosting and SSL are free for the first year, and we set up corporate email free of charge.

What a domain, hosting and email are
A domain is your site's address, for example yourcompany.az. Hosting is the server that stores the site's files and database. An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between the browser and the site, and it is what puts the padlock icon in the address bar. Corporate email is email on your own domain, such as info@yourcompany.az or sales@yourcompany.az. When all four are set up correctly, the site opens and your emails arrive without landing in spam.
You can work from a Gmail address, but clients and partners judge who an email is from by its domain. An address like name@yourcompany.az puts your company name in every email you send. When an employee leaves, their mailbox stays with the company.
We always register the domain in your name. Even if you stop working with us, the domain stays yours. If you do not have a site yet, the price of website development covers the domain, hosting and SSL for the first year.
A good domain name is short and easy to remember. It can match your company name or your main service, and with few digits and hyphens it is easy to say over the phone. For email, shared mailboxes like info@ or sales@ handle general mail, and each employee gets an address with their name or name.surname.

How we set it up
-
Choosing a domain
We check whether the name is available and pick a short, memorable option. It can match your company name or your main service. Fewer digits and hyphens make it easier to say over the phone.
-
Registration
We register the domain in your name. For that we need your company or personal details.
-
Hosting and SSL
We put the site on the server and connect the SSL certificate, so the site opens over https. Then we check the speed, the forms and outgoing email.
-
Mailboxes
We create the addresses you need and help you connect them on phones and computers. Each employee gets their own mailbox, and mail sent to a shared address like info@ can be forwarded to several people.
-
Support
Technical support is free while the site is on our server, 24/7, 365 days a year. We answer your questions by phone and WhatsApp.
What we need from you

Domain options
Two or three name ideas. We will check which ones are available.

Registration details
The company or personal details of whoever the domain will be registered to.

Old mailboxes
A list of your current addresses. If old emails need to be moved over, let us know in advance.

Questions about domains, hosting and email
What is a domain?
A domain is your site's address on the internet, for example yourcompany.az. People type it into the browser to open your site, and your corporate email runs on the same domain.
Can I get a domain for free?
When you order a website from us, the domain, hosting and SSL are free for the first year. The domain is still registered in your name.
How much does corporate email cost?
On its own it costs 150 AZN a year for 5 addresses, and each extra address is 20 AZN a year. If you order a website from us, corporate email is free.
What does a corporate email address look like?
A name plus your domain: name@yourcompany.az. Shared mailboxes use names like info@, sales@ or hr@, and employees get their name or name.surname.
How much will I pay from the second year?
Hosting (server) is 150 AZN a year, a .az domain 20 AZN a year and a .com domain about 15–20 AZN a year. Technical support stays free for as long as the site is on our server.
Can I read corporate email on my phone?
Yes. You can add the mailbox to your phone's mail app or to apps like Gmail and Outlook. We configure the settings and help you connect.
What is an SSL certificate for?
It encrypts the connection between the site and the visitor. Browsers mark a site without SSL as “Not secure”, and anything people type into its forms is left unprotected.
My site is with another host. Can you move it to your server?
Yes. We take the logins, move the site to our server and point the domain to the new server.
