Own your domain
Register the domain in the business name with the business email as the contact. Domains registered by a former web designer are one of the most common and most painful lock-ins small businesses encounter.
When you need a static IP
Static IPs matter for VPN endpoints, remote access to on-site systems, IP-whitelisted services and some CCTV setups. Most cloud-only businesses do not need one.
Keep email and hosting separable
Hosting your website and your email with the same low-cost provider means a hosting problem takes your email down too. Separating them costs little and removes a single point of failure.
