• How much does a website cost?

  The cost of running a website can be broken into 3 main elements: the domain, hosting, and the way to build the website.

  A domain is the unique web address that visitors can type into the browser to find your website, e.g. www.website.com. A domain name is typically a yearly cost, ranging from around $15/year and up.

  Website hosting allows your website files to be stored and seen on the internet. This is typically a monthly ongoing cost, usually around $14.99/month and up.

  The way your website is built is another factor to consider. The cost of this may vary depending on whether you choose a DIY approach, or hire a web designer or developer. Hiring a web expert can be a significant expense that generally requires an initial design cost and an ongoing maintenance fee.

  With Website.com paid plans, everything is included to create your website, including a professional domain name, web hosting, and a builder with easy tools to create your site. Paid plans range from $2/month (promo price for the first year), which is an extremely cost effective way to own a professional website.

  With a free Website.com plan, you can get a free website name and get online entirely for free. Keep in mind that Website.com paid plans include a professional domain name, more pages and advanced features which lend more professionalism to your site.

• How can I get a free domain?

  A domain is the unique web address that visitors can type into the browser to find your website, e.g. www.website.com. You can get a free domain with all Website.com paid plans, which also include web hosting and intuitive tools to build your website.

  It is not possible to obtain a domain name entirely for free on its own, as domain name providers must pay the central domain registry to have your domain registered. However, for some website builders and web hosts (like us!), we cover the cost of your domain name as a perk of subscription plans.

• What does Website mean?

  A website is a group of web pages under a website name that is available publicly on the internet. A website typically has a cohesive goal or type, including ecommerce, portfolio site, informative blog, About Us landing page, etc.

  We believe every individual or business deserves to have a website. Our name is Website.com for a reason - we aim to be the ultimate provider of websites for any need.
