Is there a service that builds my small business website for free and I only pay for hosting?
Yes. BBHightech builds it for free and you only pay for hosting. We design a one-page website for your business at no cost and send you a live preview before you pay anything. Changes on the preview are free. If you want it live, hosting and domain cost $129 per year (€110) or $15 per month (€13). The domain is yours, and if you ever leave we transfer it to you free.
There is no setup fee and nothing to pay upfront. If you do not like the preview, you walk away and owe nothing.
How the free build works
Tell us about your business
Fill in the short free preview form: your name, business name, email and, if you have one, your current website. A few lines about what you do is enough.
We design your one-page site
We build a real, working preview of your website and send you the link. Looking at it costs nothing.
Ask for changes
Different photo, other colours, new wording: changes on the preview are free and you still have not paid anything.
Pay hosting only if you want it live
Choose $129/year (€110) or $15/month (€13). We put the site live on your domain with SSL. If you pass, you pay nothing.
The full walkthrough, including what happens if you leave, is on how it works.
What you pay, and what you do not

|---|---|
| Website design (one page) | Free |

The honest catch
“Free” websites always have a catch somewhere, so here is ours, plainly:
- You pay hosting every year to stay live. The design is free; keeping the site online costs $129/year or $15/month. The domain is yours either way: if you ever leave, we transfer it to you free.
- It is a one-page website. It covers what most local businesses need on one page: what you do, prices, photos, opening hours, location and how to reach you. It is not a 20-page site.
- It is not an online shop. Online shops and web apps (customer logins, online payments, booking or ordering systems built into the site) are a separate service with their own price: the build is quoted per project and hosting is €225/year ($249/year). The $129/year offer covers one-page business websites, not shops.
- Hosting is part of the package. It is included in the price; you do not buy hosting separately.
- We work by text, not phone. We are an online-only business. Requests go through the preview form, email or WhatsApp chat.
Other ways to get a “free” website, and what they cost
“Free website” means very different things depending on who says it. The main patterns:
- Free start on a website builder. Wix lets you create a site for free and choose a paid plan when you are ready; Squarespace has a 14-day free trial. Either way you build the site yourself, and a custom domain comes with a paid plan.
- Free build, you buy hosting elsewhere. The Free Website Guys build WordPress sites for free if your application is accepted, and you sign up for at least a year of hosting with Bluehost or IONOS through their affiliate link. After that you edit and maintain the site yourself.
- Cheap do-it-yourself tools. Carrd Pro Standard costs $19 a year and is cheaper than us if you are happy to build the page yourself; you buy the domain separately.
- Done-for-you subscriptions. UENI builds the site for a setup fee plus a monthly or yearly price; its terms say UENI is the registrant of the domain. Always check whose name the domain is in.
We put the prices and terms side by side, each with a link to the provider's own page, on BBHightech vs the alternatives.
Five questions to ask any “free website” service
- Whose name is the domain in? With us, yours: the domain is yours and we transfer it free if you leave.
- What does it cost per year after the first year? Ours is currently a flat $129/year (€110), or $15/month, the same for every business.
- Can I see the site before I pay? With us, yes: the preview comes first and changes on it are free.
- Who makes small changes later? We do. Small updates are included all year: hours, prices, photos, text.
- What is not included? Ours: online shops and web apps, which are a separate service.
Who this is for
Good fit if
- You run a local business: a restaurant, café, barbershop, salon, beauty studio, gym, florist, trade or car repair shop
- You want a professional page without building it yourself
- You want to see the site before you spend anything
- You want your own domain, in your own name
Not a fit if
- You need an online shop, customer logins or payments on the site (that is our separate web app service)
- You want to design and edit every pixel yourself in a builder
- You need a large multi-page website
- You prefer to sort things out on the phone
