Get Free Custom Websites!

Is it possible to get free custom websites? Yes, it is possible to get custom websites designed for you at no cost. However, owning a website is not all that you need to be on the Internet. You need to have more than just a few well designed web pages to have a presence on the Internet. You need a domain name (name of your website) and a web hosting service (a home for your website, a server). If you get a car as a gift you own it but you can’t drive it unless you get a number plate and pay for the insurance. The person who gives you the car is not responsible for getting a number plate for you or paying the insurance payments. If you want to keep the car, you will have to meet the requirements of keeping the car and that is going to cost you some money.

If you are looking for a couple of web pages for fun, you can get away with never having to pay a penny. All you have to do is become a member of one of thousands of community websites and post your photos and some text there for people to see. But if you are serious about your website, your business, your hobby or your message to get across to your audience in a proper, professional way, you need a proper website. You need your own domain name and a web host. The cost of domain name ranges from $8 to $15 a year. The hosting costs a few dollars a month depending on the package. Interesting enough, a lot of us spend $8 or more a day on Starbucks drinks alone. But when it comes to paying for an online service, most of us hesitate.

It is the cost of the website designing and not the domain and hosting fees that prevent most small businesses or start ups from getting on the Internet. The Internet is loaded with freelance web designers, web designing services, website generating software, and thousands of big name companies. Everybody is out there to make money because they are in the business of making money
