What is website hosting?
Website hosting is a service that stores your website’s files and makes them accessible on the internet 24/7. Without hosting, your website can’t be seen online.
Why do I need hosting for the Weekend Website Workshop?
To build and preview your website during the workshop, your site needs to be installed on a live hosting environment. This ensures all participants can follow along using the same setup, themes, and tools.
What’s included with the hosting plan?
•WordPress installation and database setup
•Access to premium website builder plugins and themes
•Up to 20 email accounts using your domain
•A secure, high-performance server
•Support during the course
How much does hosting cost?
•$12.95/month
•or $120/year (save over $35)
Choose the billing cycle that fits your plan. You can cancel anytime.
Which billing cycle should I choose?
If you’re planning to keep your new website long-term, the yearly plan saves money.
If you plan to migrate your website elsewhere after the workshop, choose the monthly plan—you can cancel once your site is fully moved.
Can I use my own email provider like Office 365 or Google Workspace?
Yes. You can continue using services like Office 365 or Google Workspace.
However, after the course, you may need to update your DNS settings to ensure your email works properly with your domain.
Can I move my website to another host after the workshop?
Yes! After the course, you can migrate your completed website to any hosting provider you prefer. We’ll give you access to your site files and help you understand how to do this.
