Bouw je site door te slepen, niet door te coderen

A drag-and-drop site still needs a proper domain to look credible — a name that's yours rather than a shared subdomain tacked onto a builder's brand. Search and register a new domain, or point one you already own, and it connects to your published site through the same dashboard where you're editing pages.

Once DNS is pointed, the free SSL certificate activates against that domain automatically, so the padlock appears without a separate certificate order or manual install. If you later add a mailbox on that domain through email hosting, it lives under the same login as the site itself.

Plenty of sites start on a builder and later need something a template can't offer — custom plugin logic, a larger content team, or a storefront with more moving parts. Because the builder sits on standard hosting infrastructure, moving to managed WordPress hosting from $4.19/mo happens on the same account, without hunting for a new provider or re-registering your domain elsewhere.

That upgrade path also runs the other way: agencies that build several small client sites on the builder can consolidate hosting for all of them under one reseller hosting account once the number of sites grows past what a single plan comfortably covers.

A site built visually still needs the same safety net as one built by hand. Daily backups run automatically on every hosting plan behind the builder, stored apart from the live files, so a bad edit or a lost login doesn't also erase your only copy of the site.

NVMe SSD storage and LiteSpeed keep pages built with the visual editor loading quickly even as you add more sections, galleries and product blocks, without needing a separate caching plugin to compensate for slow disk I/O underneath.

The standalone Website Builder plan is priced and billed in USD, but the price shown at checkout switches automatically to your local currency through geo-currency detection — useful if you're comparing it against a builder quoted in a different currency elsewhere.

Every plan, including the builder, carries the same 30-day money-back guarantee as the rest of the hosting lineup, and is operated by Bohzo Ltd, the UK-registered company behind Hosting Cheap. That means testing the builder with real content and a real domain for a month carries no financial risk if it isn't the right fit.
