Instant Website Builder Vs Web Hosting
Site Builder or standard Web Hosting? A hard decision for the novice starting out on the Internet. The two variations of Hosting can both provide the desired result, the means by which though are comparatively different. This blog article will hopefully provide some insight into choosing the desired package – but should you not find the answers you were looking for in this topic, please leave your feedback in the comments section below, or simply make an enquiry with our support staff. We will always aim to provide you with the best advice according to your needs.
Instant Website Builder
The Instant Website Builder hosting package is a basic ‘Template’ based system. With the Instant Website Builder ‘What You See Is What You Get’ otherwise known as ‘WYSIWYG’ the templates are not configurable beyond selecting a colour, a banner and labeling each page link. On each page you will then be able to input text and upload images. You may if you wish add a counter or a link to another website, this requires you to use the script module which is dragged and dropped onto the desired page. You can see our demonstration version on line here:
Try not to get too carried away, this is after all only the demo version. If you are able to create the site you have pictured in your mind on the demonstration version – you can be pretty confident of replicating the same results in the purchased version.
Web Hosting
If you are looking for a bespoke website then any one of our Web Hosting packages would be more applicable. Not only would you receive the Serif web design software for free (available through your ‘free bonus features’ section in your account approximately 3 days after purchase, as a download). You also would be able to create a website with a greater level of flexibility. This means that you would be able to create a site that would be able to display moving images, menu options and use a ‘contact us’ form (otherwise known as a Mail Form). For these functions you will need to ensure that the hosting package that you select can support this.

If you are unsure of which plan is suitable for your needs, you can always contact our support team for clarification. In comparison to the Instant Website Builder package, the design of your website on Web hosting is only limited by your imagination.
