With any of our paid options, you can have your domain names attached to your book and/or author websites. This means that when someone enters your domain, it will continue to show in the browser's address bar. Many authors prefer this as it is more personalized and professional. You do need to purchase and register your own domain with the registrar of your choice... we do not provide domain names.

Here is an example book website using a custom domain: https://www.bobennett.com

This is the number of people, besides the account owner, who can have administrative access the book website(s) under the account.

If you have more than one book, or you simply want your own author page, HostingAuthors.com has the solution for you.

You can activate the mailing list feature for each of your books, or if you are using an author website, you can have one master mailing list for all of your books. HostingAuthors.com simply collects and verifies the addresses through an industry-compliant double-opt-in procedure. You can then download your list to use in your favorite mailing software. We also provide you with an "unsubscribe" link to include in your mailings that will remove readers from your list who no longer wish to be on the list.

We log "hits" to your pages (minus the annoying bots and search engines that don't count), the number of readers who subscribe to your mailing list, and the number of people who use the contact form. We present this in a visually simple and pleasing way! (Note: ignore the labels - these don't apply to hosting.)

If you have a paid account, you can replace the HostingAuthors.com logo with your own on your book and author website. If you don't have the capabilities to create this image from your book, we can do it for you.

Media links show up in the "Media" section of your website. If you are good at promoting, you may require lots of links!

The "instant interview" is an automated interview for authors to discuss their books. The audio interview is conducted by a real person; it's just pre-recorded questions. You can then use this audio file on your book website in the "media" section as well as download the file and use it wherever you wish.

Have your own author blog attached to your author page. The author blog allows you the option to create an audio podcast complete with a valid RSS feed to submit to iTunes, Google, and more. We make it incredibly simple.

As of now, you are most likely referring readers to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or some other third-party website that is selling your book and keeping anywhere from 30% to 95% of selling price. How would you like to keep 100% of the selling price? You can do this with your own bookstore. You do need to have your merchant account either through AuthorizeNet or have a PayPal business account. With your own bookstore, you can sell your ebooks, audiobooks, and even your print books! With print books, you are responsible for order fulfillment (i.e., you ship the books to the customers from your location) but for the ebooks and audiobooks, we take care of order fulfillment and even handle any technical issues that the readers may have regarding their order. The Established Author plan is limited to 100 sales per month, and there is no limit for the Prolific Author plan.
