A strategic checklist to guide you through short-term and long-term goals on how to start a website for businesses and content creators.
You can start a website and get the basic services at a low cost. (Refer to our estimated cost breakdown below in How Much Does It Cost to Start a Website.) We recommend owning your domain name and using a managed hosting service to build a website. You can have complete ownership and control of your digital assets to scale your online presence without limitation.
The average cost to start a website is approximately a minimum of $300 per year. This estimated cost includes an average of $15 per year for owning a domain name and other add-on features. Plus, a starting cost of about $300 per year for a website hosting service based on website traffic volume.
Free or one-size-fits-all website hosting solutions usually do not grant you ownership of your online assets, such as the domain name, or could pose limitations on website traffic, digital marketing scalability, and overall online marketing strategy. Some one-size-fits-all website hosting solutions may offer basic digital marketing services but may not provide tailored, scalable solutions that grow with your business long term.
Absolutely, yes. A website is the best platform for businesses and content creators to drive lead generation, build brand awareness, nurture existing customers, and outreach to new target markets. A website allows you to grow an online presence for your products and services while converting prospects to ready-to-buy customers.
