It does not tell you who owns the domain, whether the site will generate qualified enquiries, how accessibility and security are handled, or what happens when the relationship ends.

Read the practical guide →Microsoft 365 includes several ways to recover or preserve data, but they solve different problems. This guide helps small businesses match recycle bins, version history, retention, and backup to the incidents they actually need to survive.
