We scoured the Internet for the best hosting that no money can buy. Options abound for the ultra-beginners just getting started on their first website, amateur designers wanting to try out a different hosting company’s service and support, as well as advanced developers looking for a spot to house their new project.
1. Wix.com
A strong, browser-based website builder, Wix.com reigns supreme if you want a simple, drag-and-drop interface for building basic sites (i.e., for portfolios, small sites, etc.).
While it’s not for those who are looking to work out their coding skills, house various video files, or host an app they’ve been tinkering with (If you match these descriptions, read on!), Wix leads the way when it comes to easy setup and robust features. Their support isn’t great, but it almost doesn’t matter. We find Wix.com’s offering to be ideal for beginner site owners:
- Storage: 500MB
- Domain: Wix.com subdomain
- eCommerce: No
- Bandwidth: 500MB
- Email: No
- Website Builder/Design: Drag-and-drop editor with lots of templates and apps
