How much does a website cost? What does a Website.com subscription include?

The cost of running a website can be broken into 3 main elements: the domain, hosting, and the way to make 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 $20/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 website platform used to create a website is another factor to consider. The cost of making a website 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 premium plans, everything is included to create your website, including a professional domain name for 1 year, web hosting to host your content, and a website builder with easy tools to create your site, sell products, reach international audiences, and market your online presence. Premium plans range from $3/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 premium plans include a professional domain name registration, more website pages and advanced features to lend more professionalism to your site.

Your web content will be stored on our secure servers located in Vancouver, Canada.

How easy is it to make a website? Can I make a website without knowing how to code?

Using Website.com is the easiest way to make a website! Our tools provide the freedom to create your free website without any design or coding knowledge. You can even create your entire website, from start to finish, right from a mobile device! Just start with a pre-made layout, add your own website content, and click publish to get your responsive website online. Need a hand? Our team of designers offer design services to help you craft your website on the Website.com editor, so you can have total control of your website after your design is complete.

Why does my business need a website?

Today, 91% of consumers look online to search for goods or services, and 84% view a business with a website as more credible. Owning a website is crucial for small business owners in order to gain credibility and get found by both new and existing customers.

Do I need a domain name? How do I get custom domain emails?

Yes, every website on the internet needs its own domain name for visitors to be able to find it. A custom domain name can make your website look professional online. It builds your brand, makes your website more memorable, and helps visitors find you online. With Website.com, you can start with a free website name, and all premium Website.com plans include a professional custom domain name for 1 year at no additional charge!

Domain names are vital to anyone's online presence, but its value is also often undervalued. Problems can arise when domain names are left to expire or become open for anyone to register under their name, from identity theft and impersonation to extortion and malware injection. This is why Website.com offers domain auto renewal feature to help prevent these problems from appearing. Let us know if you are unsure about whether your domain name is set for auto-renewal.

Using your custom domain name in your email address ([email protected]) can further build your brand and create a sense of trust throughout your customer communications. Website.com Elite plans and above include professional emails at your domain name and a mailbox to store your emails. You can read your emails anywhere, or even set up emails to be accessed on your phone!

Can someone make a website for me?

The Website.com website builder is easy to use, and is great for a DIY approach. If you would rather have someone create your website for you, we can take care of it! Our Website.com designers offer web design and marketing services so you can focus on your business. Your website will be published on the website builder, allowing you to easily make future tweaks to your design at no additional design charge. Or, feel free to reach out to our team if you need design services after launch.

How do I make my website mobile friendly?

Globally, 62% of users access the internet using a mobile phone, which means having a mobile-friendly website is key for reaching potential visitors. Mobile-friendliness is also a crucial aspect of SEO.

That's why all websites made with Website.com are responsive, which means they are automatically optimized for both mobile and desktop devices! Your Website.com website will provide website visitors with an amazing user experience, whether they're viewing your website on their phones or on a computer.

How does my website get found on Google?

Earning a top ranking on Google's results pages can significantly increase your website traffic and strengthen your business.

Website.com has SEO (search engine optimization) tools to help get your website found on Google and other search engines. Explore simple one-click mobile optimization, a site map generator, and the ability to employ on-page SEO techniques like image titles and content keywords.

How does your money back guarantee work?
