You always need a domain and a web hosting

Regardless of your chosen method for building your website, you will always need a domain and web hosting. The domain is your website's unique address on the internet e.g. yourcompanyname.se ,and web hosting stores your website and ensures it's reachable online.

Offers for "free" websites may be enticing but they often lack important features or lock you into a specific domain. Paying for a domain and web hosting gives you a unique domain address, full control, and security. It's an investment in your website's future that pays off in the long run. With our web hosting, you can be confident that your website is secure, has the resources it needs, and remains accessible and functioning.
