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 |
Yes. A domain (like yoursite.com) is your address, and hosting is the server that stores your site and serves it to visitors. Every live website needs both. With a custom site from us, we set both up for you so you are not left figuring it out alone.
Cheap shared hosting like Hostinger typically runs about $3–$12 per month depending on the plan and term. A domain name usually costs around $10–$20 per year. These are small, predictable costs — far less than the $16–$49 per month that all-in-one builders like Wix or Squarespace charge.
Yes. Affordable hosts like Hostinger are perfectly capable of running a fast, hand-coded site — because our sites are lightweight, they fly even on inexpensive hosting. We can build your site to run on the host of your choice.
We handle the full setup — pointing your domain, configuring hosting, SSL, and deployment — as part of every build. You keep ownership of your domain and hosting accounts; we just make them work. The third-party hosting/domain fees are billed by the provider directly and are inexpensive.
Absolutely. If you already have a domain (from GoDaddy, Namecheap, Hostinger, or anywhere else), you keep it. We simply point it at your new site — no need to transfer it unless you want to.
Certificates auto-renew and security headers are configured from day one, so your Bellingham site never shows the browser warnings that scare customers off.
Server response time sits underneath every Core Web Vital your Bellingham pages are graded on. A slow host caps scores that no amount of front-end work can fix.
