Two simple pieces every website needs. Your domain (like yoursite.com) is your address. Your hosting is the server that stores your website and delivers it to visitors. You own both — and with a custom site, we set them up and make them work so you never have to wrestle with control panels.
Your unique web address. Usually about $10–$20 per year. Keep one you already own, or we help you register the perfect one.
The server that runs your site. Cheap, reliable hosts like Hostinger start around $3–$12/mo — and our lightweight sites fly on them.
Domain pointing, hosting config, SSL, and deployment are handled as part of every build. You keep ownership; we make it work.
Cheap hosting plus a custom site beats an all-in-one builder — on price and on performance.
| Option | Typical price | Speed & ownership |
|---|---|---|
| Domain name | ~$10–$20 / year | Yours, forever |
| Cheap hosting (e.g. Hostinger) | ~$3–$12 / month | Fast & fully yours |
| Custom site + cheap hosting | Flat build fee + low hosting | Under 1s load, Lighthouse 100 |
| Wix / Squarespace all-in-one | $16–$49 / month forever | 3–4s load, locked in |
