Today, more and more people and businesses need to have their own websites to showcase their products and services. However, some people choose to build a website for free to reduce costs. So, how much does it cost to build a website for yourself?
First, we need to understand some concepts. To build a website, you need to have a domain name and a host. The domain name is the name of your website, such as www.example.com, and the host is the storage location of your website. Usually, a free hosting adds a subdomain after the domain name of your website, such as www.example.freehost.com.
For domain names, it usually costs 20-200 yuan. The specific price depends on the suffix, length and whether it has been registered. If you don’t want to spend money, you can also choose some service providers that provide free domain names, such as freenom. But it should be noted that free domain names are often long-term and unstable.
For free hosting, there are already many options on the market, such as wordpress, wix and Anqi CMS. These platforms provide free website building, hosting, domain names and other services, and can freely choose skins, plug-ins and functions. However, due to certain restrictions on free hosting, such as capacity, traffic and features, upgrades to the paid version may be required if there are higher requirements.
In addition, if you want to buy a host yourself, for small websites, it usually costs several dozen to several hundred yuan per month, while for large websites, it requires more budget.
The cost of building a website for free is not high, it mainly depends on choosing a free host and domain name. If you are trying for the first time, it is recommended to choose a platform that provides free services. However, it should be noted that when using a free host, you also need to pay attention to data backup to prevent data loss.
