Texas Business Presence
Ride off into the sunset with a business website, phone service, email, and more when you partner with Independent Texas LLC.
What Is Texas Business Presence?
It’s everything you need to connect with customers, all in one place. The best part? It’s free for the first 90 days, with no contracts or commitments. Here’s what you get when you add Texas Business Presence to your company formation or registered agent order:

Business Website
You don’t need to be a coder to create a first-rate business website. With TX Business Presence, you get a custom business website on a pre-built, open source template. Add your own images, text, and videos using simple drag-and-drop tools.
The best part? Our team of web experts will walk you through the process of designing your website over the phone. Some site-building services charge you extra to get help from a real human, but that’s not how we operate. Give us a call or send us an email any time, and our local customer support team will answer any question you have.
Our web hosting service is free for 90 days, then just $9/month ($7.20 when part of Texas Business Presence package). We know you value your independence, so we don’t own or control your website. Since our site builder uses open source software, you can keep using your website through another web hosting platform even if you cancel our service.
Domain Name
A domain name is the address for a website, like MyBusinessNameHere.com. People commonly talk of “buying” domains, but really it’s more like leasing. Domains are “leased” to customers by domain registrars and need to be renewed (usually annually).
With Texas Business Presence, you can get a free domain for a whole year (up to $25 value)! Choose from a range of popular domain extensions (like .com, .net, and .org). After the first year, your domain renews based on market value, with the average price being just $25/year.
Business Email
Many small business owners use their personal email to do business, but this can look unprofessional or even suspicious to customers. Business emails sent from a personal email address (like a gmail, yahoo, or hotmail account) often go straight to the spam folder.
To make sure your emails are actually seen, you need a professional email address with a unique domain, clearly linking the address to your business. (For example, admin@MyBusinessNameHere.com). With our secure, ad-free email service, you can get up to 10 email addresses ending in your domain.
Business email service is free for the first 90 days, then $9/month ($7.20 with TX Business Presence package).
SSL Security
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a form of online security that encrypts the data shared through a website, keeping it safe from hackers. You can tell a website uses SSL because the web address will begin with HTTPS instead of HTTP. Our SSL security service ensures that your website is safe and trustworthy, so customers will feel comfortable entering their information.
SSL service is free for 90 days, then just $9/month ($7.20 with TX Business Presence package).
Do I really need SSL security?
The short answer? Yes. Almost all websites now have SSL security, and without it, site visitors will get a warning that your website isn’t secure. Since websites without SSL are considered unsafe, they usually don’t rank highly in search engine results. SSL security is especially important for e-commerce websites, since it protects your customers’ financial information from being stolen by hackers.
Phone Service
Your business needs a dedicated business phone number you can safely give out to clients. With our virtual phone service, you get a phone number of your choice with a local Texas area code. Access your business phone line from your cell phone using our free mobile app. No need to buy a second phone! Features of phone service include:
- Unlimited Talk and Text
- Unlimited Call Forwarding to Any US Number
- Outbound Caller ID Display of Your Business Name
- Virtual Voicemail (option to view voice messages as text)
- Free US-based mobile app compatible with Android and iOS devices
- Lifetime Customer Support
Try phone service free for 90 days! After that, it’s only $9/month ($7.20 with TX Business Presence package).
