Website Builders

Website Builders bundle the domain, hosting, and content management, providing customizable themes, templates, and plugins for dynamic sites. They are usually available in both free and paid versions. Free versions will usually provide a URL that includes the platform's domain (e.g., yoursite.wordpress.com), less customization and storage, fewer features, and ads. Paid versions will provide a custom domain, additional customization and storage, more features, and no ads.
