Build Own Website Free

I’ll expand a little on what I wrote about yesterday.

Here are 3 ways to build a website.

1. Professional

Costs hundreds if not a couple thousand dollars. You hire a website guy to build you a site. Not worth it IMO.

2. Build Own Website Free – You Have Control

You need a domain and a website hosting plan. Costs less than $10 a month for cheapest hosting plans and $15 or less a year for your domain. Should have good speed on your site. You have 100% control over you site.

Your best bet would be using WordPress and setting up a blog. Someone would then have to update the blog to keep it up to date. WP is powerful and easy to use.

It’s not hard to setup. There are many tutorials out there, both written and video.

3. DIY – You Have Limited Control

Your final option would be to set up a blogger.com account. They are a free blog hosting platform. Blogger hosts and provides you with a domain for free. There are no costs to use Blogger.

The biggest drawback would be that you don’t control your site. You could be banned at any time for violating their TOS. There are probably restriction to what you can do with an account. However, you shouldn’t have any problems.

Another problem would be if you wanted to take your site off Blogger and use your own domain, you can’t. They control the site.

There You have it. Building your own website can be done. And it can be done cheaply if not for free. Don’t be afraid, just get out there and get it done.
