Website builder: Make your own personal website easily

FAQ – Frequently asked questions

The cost of a website always depends on how extensive it is. The more web design options and features you use, the more you'll need to budget for. If you want to create your own website with a website builder, you'll pay between $9 and $25 a month, depending on the plan you choose and the features you need. If you want a custom-made website or online store, you can expect to spend several hundred dollars.

The skills you need to create your own website depends on how you're creating your website, either the classic way or with a Content Management System (CMS).

A free website builder is software that allows you to create a free website quickly online. These programs work in your browser, so you don't have to download additional software to your computer. You just need to log in and design your site. Learn more with the IONOS Website Builder.

Hosting

Free site builders let you create websites even without coding knowledge. However, the downside is that is that they rarely offer affordable hosting services. Plus, they make it difficult and complicated to use an external web hosting provider. Some that do offer free hosting, often do so at the expense of a full-feature list or offer hosting in exchange for placing ads on your site.

Templates

Templates are great for beginners. However, the design possibilities are limited with fixed templates, especially with free ones. There may also be other websites using the exact same template, making it difficult to stand out from the crowd.

Email

Many companies prefer their employees to have uniform email addresses, usually containing the company name for extra professionalism. However, free domain-specific email addresses aren’t possible with free website builders and some don’t even offer them for a fee. You may need to use a plugin, add an email function, or use an external service.
