Free website builder software

[Barnoe]

I bought my website off Go Daddy, and paid well over the odds for some package deal.

This package deal involved office 365 which i already had, both family edition and through work... last thing i needed was a third!
I also build my website through Go Daddys in built online web app, little did i know this cost me too.

I paid for it to be hosted for 2 years which ran out last week, I cancelled everything other than the actual domain itself

So i want to create and self host my website (MotoTrip.TV) as you can see its offline now as the Go Daddy Websites + Marketing ended.

Back in the day i used to use Microsoft Frontpage to do this and i managed to create some decent websites with it.
shockingly even with my office 365 subscription there isnt anything like FP now.

So i am looking for an open source software that can build nice HTML websites.

If anyone know of something or an alternative such as free hosting let me know

i hear a lot about squarespace (Youtube sponsorship/advertisements). Never used it my self though so unsure if this is what you're after.

There are a million free 'website builders' out there such as Wix, Canva....

That's different to website hosting...

which in turn is different to domain name registration.

Sounds like you've got the reg still with GoDaddy so you need to find someone who will host it for a sensible fee (fasthosts etc etc etc) and you can build the HTML in whatever you want.

For Hosting
Squarespace = £12 pm
Fasthosts = £12
Wix = £9 pm
Wordpress = £3
Go Daddy renewal £215.88

My first thought was to build my website offline and then just put the files to my home server and direct the DNS to it through Cloudflare.

But Wordpress for £3 a month is probably easiest.
