There are many web
hosts available and even some which
include a site builder or publishing
platform in the hosting package. The
more popular free ones include
blogspot or wordpress, while the
paid ones include
blue host
and
FatCow. Choosing which web host
to use which includes a site builder
is very important to the budding
website owner. A site builder can
simplify the website building
process and enable the programmer to
work at the aesthetic level rather
than at the code level. This not
only allows non-programmers to
create their own websites, but also
makes things faster and easier for
those who are familiar with code.
There are many free hosting services
which include site builders or
publishing platforms. Blogspot is
one of them. Blogspot uses the
Blogger site builder to create
websites. Blogger allows its users
to choose from a selection of
templates, add various widgets and
plugins to the website, and
customize and post up articles. The
entire process of creating a website
and adding content to it has become
much simpler and easier. This is not
just limited to Blogspot. Wordpress
uses the wordpress engine, which has
more customization for its users as
well as a whole host of extensions
available. Ultimately, the
difference between the 2 are minor,
and since these are free web hosts,
you can always switch over if you
dislike it.
There are just as many options for
paid web hosting which include site
builder tools. One such example
would be
Blue Host, which offers
cheap and quality web hosting. Not
only that, they also use the Wordpress engine for building their
website. By using a free,
open-source publishing platform to
augment their web hosting
capabilities, they can provide a
better service. Being an industry
leader with over 1500 GB offered in
website storage, free domain names,
high bandwidth and most importantly,
99% uptime guaranteed, it is a good
choice for a hosting which includes
site builder tools for the budding
website owner.
LunarPages is another good choice
which uses the Wordpress engine as
the default site builder. Getting a
website up and started may be the
hardest thing for a budding website
designer to accomplish;
LunarPages allows wordpress to be synchronized
with just a click, letting you get
straight down to business. With the
huge extensions available for
Wordpress, the 1 TB in disk space
that
Blue host offers may just be
needed. With 10 TB of bandwidth it
is definitely a good choice for a
business website.
In any case, picking which web host
to use is a personal choice. Some
may find one provider to be superior
while others may differ in opinion.
Ultimately it boils down to what
kind of website you are creating and
which hosting and site builder suits
you best. Picking the right web
hosting company is often a difficult
choice when it comes to the paid
services. However, for the free
services, you can always simply
change to another provider if one
proves dissatisfactory.
