Web Hosting Solutions
When it comes to web hosting solutions there are a few
options to choose from. The most common type is just a
regular web hosting plan, it gives you a clean slate to
publish all of your files too. Another option for those who
don't need advanced capabilities or don't have the knowledge
yet to make a website from scratch is an online website
builder.
I've covered both options below and tried to list
some of the pros and cons of each. Hopefully this will
help you make the decision on which path you'd like to
take in regards to making a website.
Option 1 - Web Hosting
As I mentioned above this is the most common type of hosting
plan because you have full control over the functionality of
your site in regards to scripts and
SEO. This will
require a bit more technical knowledge but after you do it a
couple of times you'll find it rather easy.The great
thing these days is it's easy to build a professional
website by purchasing a pre-made website template. You can
even find that we offer a selection of
free website templates.
When you use a template all you need to do is fill in the
spaces with your text and images.
Here are the pros of using a full fledge hosting plan:
- Complete control over the look of your site.
- Ability to add additional pages as your site grows.
- Ability to add scripts such as blogs, forms, etc.
- Generous plan sizes that make it extremely
affordable
Here are the cons of using a full fledge hosting plan:
- More knowledge of HTML & other programming
languages.
- Additional maintenance to update your websites page
by page.
- Advanced HTML & CSS knowledge to create professional
site w/out a pre-made template.

Option 2 - Online Website Builder
An online website builder is a program that you log into
online. Once you've purchased the plan you simply log into
your account and start building your website. You start by
choosing 1 of 100's of templates and then start filling in
the pages with your content and images. Online website
builders come with a built-in
web publishing tool that will allow you to publish your
website to the server with a click of a button.
Here are the pros of using an online website builder:
- Absolutely no HTML or programming knowledge needed.
- Choose from 100's of professional templates.
- Speed, you can start and finish a website in one
evening.
- Affordability, you choose plans based on the number
of pages you need so you're not paying for something
that you don't need.
Here are the cons of using an online website builder:
- Loss of control of certain aspects like layout,
scripting and SEO capabilities.
- Duplicate sites, if other people use the same
template that you choose customers could be confused
when seeing the same look on multiple websites.
