Week 12 - Online Website Builders

Where does one start!! There are many, many players in the FREE online website building category. Most of them have similar functionality and allow you to create websites for free using drag and drop technology. No need to code and if you need more than what is provided for free, many of these have upgrade packages available at an extra cost.

Under a free account, the free tools will give you a set amount of space and access and allow you to host your website with them under a subdomain. Many of them also allow you to also link your website with a domain name and will offer a variety of hosting options.

Domain Vs Subdomain

You can create and resister your own domain name - lots of different packages available and cost can be as little as a few dollars.

The following links will give you information about domain names and how to register
