## Key facts

- £1 a day + VAT managed hosting for practice websites
- Provision of Services Regulations 2009 require PII insurer details to be available; many firms publish them on their website
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up to protect your domain from spoofing
- Cloudflare caching for busy periods like the 31 January deadline
- Daily backups and free SSL
- Data processing agreement on request

## What accountancy websites need to show

Your professional body sets its own rules, but a few things apply widely:

- **Professional indemnity insurance details.** The Provision of Services Regulations 2009 require you to make your PII insurer's details and territorial cover available to clients. Many firms do this on a website page.
- **Company details.** Limited companies must show their registered name, number, place of registration and registered office on their website.
- **Professional body status.** ICAEW, ACCA, AAT and other bodies have rules on how you describe your firm and use their logos. Check your body's guidance.
- **Privacy notice** covering what you collect through the site.

We make sure these pages stay online and quick to load, even when you're too busy to look at the website.

## Phishing season protection

Accountancy clients are a favourite target for fake HMRC refund emails and fake invoices. Criminals also try to send mail appearing to come from your practice. We publish SPF and DKIM for your email provider and practice software, then tighten DMARC so forged messages using your domain are rejected by receivers that honour it. See [email hosting](https://dijituldns.co.uk/email-hosting/).

## Client portals and integrations

Most practices link to a portal provided by their practice management or document software rather than hosting documents on the website. That's usually the right call. We make sure the links, single sign-on buttons and embedded forms keep working. If you have a bespoke portal, onboarding tool or tax calculator built in PHP, we can host it on the plan or, for anything heavier, quote. See [custom software hosting](https://dijituldns.co.uk/custom-software-hosting/).

Keep enquiry forms simple. Don't ask for UTRs, National Insurance numbers or bank details on an open form that sends by email.

## Ready for 31 January

Traffic to accountancy sites rises sharply in January as self-assessment deadlines approach. Because your DNS is on [Cloudflare](https://dijituldns.co.uk/cloudflare-dns-management/), static pages and images are cached at the edge, so the site stays quick when lots of people are looking for help at once. We'll also check contact forms are delivering properly before the rush.

## FAQs

### Do accountants need to show professional indemnity insurance on their website?

The Provision of Services Regulations 2009 require you to make PII insurer details and territorial coverage available to clients. Publishing them on your website is a common way to do this, though you can also provide them on request or in engagement letters.

### What is the best website hosting for an accountancy practice?

Choose a UK managed host that handles security, daily backups and email authentication, and will sign a data processing agreement. dijitul hosts accountancy websites for £1 a day + VAT with all of those included.

### How do I stop fake emails being sent from my practice's domain?

Set up SPF and DKIM for every service that sends email for you, then move your DMARC policy to quarantine or reject. Receivers that honour DMARC will then refuse forgeries. dijitul configures this for practices it hosts.

### Should clients upload tax documents through my website?

Use a secure client portal from your practice software rather than a basic website upload form. Portals offer access control and audit trails. Keep website enquiry forms to basic contact details.

### Does a limited company accountancy firm need to show its company number online?

Yes. Under the 2015 trading disclosure regulations, UK companies must show their registered name, registered number, place of registration and registered office address on their website.

### Can dijitul host an accountancy calculator or onboarding tool?

Yes. Small PHP tools can run on dijitul Complete Hosting at £1 a day + VAT. Larger custom applications are quoted. dijitul's agency at dijitul.uk can also build them.
