I needed to get a website up and running quickly. While I’m familiar with web development, I don’t know enough to create a good-looking site myself. So, I went with GoDaddy because of their cheap starting prices and some coupon codes I had.
Now, I’m struggling to manage the website without buying one of their overpriced plans. Do I have to purchase one of their WordPress or Website Builder plans, or is there a way to edit the website for free? Alternatively, should I just switch services since I’ve only spent around $8 and don’t mind moving to a different provider?
Since it seems like you recently purchased a domain, you will undoubtedly need to purchase a hosting package. It is reasonable that most people will advise you to host somewhere else.
Look into free website builders like Squarespace or Wix, or WordPress plugins. These choices provide easy-to-use interfaces and free templates for website editing. Given your goals and budget, switching providers can be a more affordable option if GoDaddy’s plans do not work for you.
You are having trouble maintaining your website as it is set up on GoDaddy and you are not willing to sign up for one of their pricey plans. To make adjustments, you are not required to purchase their WordPress or Website Builder packages. WordPress.org and other free options provide flexibility. Since you have only invested $8 so far, look at possibilities that fit your demands and budget if you are willing to transfer providers. Examine features and user feedback to determine which option is best for you.
