Cost to Create a Website

You need to buy hosting and domain name. The other cost that most people do not realize is the time you will devote in building.

But don't let the cost discourage you. Google Adsense or other programs could help fund your site.

Web Hosting - ($50 to $100 plus per year)
Domain Name (free to $15 per year)
Your Time (average time approx. 80 - 120 hours)
Maintance of site (updating) - average time 3-5 hours a week

Trying to DIY website is very difficult and costly that is why I recommend Site Build It when creating a website because a few other tools you need are keyword research tools and web analytical statistic software, you can find both of these free, but are very limited.

When using SBI! you will have EVERY website building tool at your fingertips to build your own website.

If you decide to make your own website, here is a Web Hosting comparisons chart to help find the host to fit your budget and needs.

But I am on a tight budget, is there a way to make website creation affordable?

Yes, by using Bluevoda a free drop and drag website builder. You download the software to your computer.

The nice thing is you work on your website whenever you want and do not have to log into the internet (expect if you are using their built-in keyword research tool).

When you are ready to go live, since you are using this website builder, you must use Vodahost for your hosting company.Their web hosting is very affordable as you can see from this hosting comparison chart and the company has been around since the 1990's.

This site builder lets you create just a few web pages or a very large website. If you need help, check out these blue voda video tutorials.

Should I make a free website instead?

There are some good reasons to use a free website builder, but if your looking to make money online using a free one it could actually hurt your site.
