Online website builders are becoming more and more popular.

I compared 3 site builders: I've looked into a couple of offerings lately in an attempt to replace the poor hosting I was getting from another web host.

Prices started at $14.95. One standard everday hosting option and two online site building options. VeryVip at [http://www.VeryVipHosting.com:] This host offered three options. 1.

Prices started at $9.95. All included the online site building option. The WebWizard at [http://www.Probuildertool.com:] This host offered three options. 2.

Prices started at $9.99 (you get you first three months at $4.99). HomeStead at Homestead.com: Offered 4 options all including online site building. 3.

Each vendor had their strengths:

Homestead had a large selection of designs.

VeryVip offered built in RSS feeds.

Probuildertool offered free forums and
link exchange pages.

Ultimately as a programmer I had to go with the tool that
I thought would give me the most flexiblity for the cost and the one that didn't look like I built my site using an online site builder.

You cannot use third party templates unless you use the hosting only option. It offers very little in the way of templates, but for a product that has been on the market for a couple of years, VeryViphosting.com was nice.

) . . You had to download the editor (how that makes this an online site builder is beyond me, in addition. Generic. . . Well. . . But the designs demonstrated by the customer sites they listed were very, homestead had nice designs.

While probuildertool offered it on the very first level, neither Homestead nor Vip offered a forum in their lower level packages. Was the ability
to truly build a community site and grow from there, the one thing that this site offered that was lacking with the others. Though the 180 templates is actually more like 70 templates and a combination of color and graphics changes, Probuildertool.com had several templates.

Probuildertool offered it on their mid level package. While VeryVipHosting offered it only on their top level, homestead didn't offer an option for creating a newsletter at all at any level.

This was not available with VeryVipHosting or Homestead. Email a friend links could be placed on any page in Probuildertool without typing in any code.

But not on VeryVip hosting, ) was available for Homestead and Probuildertool, . Etc, music, flash movies. Multimedia support (i.e.

Most likely because the users didn't use the software to its fullest potential. But honestly the designs were a little bland, they have been in the online web building business since 1998 (according to their website) and won awards for their product. Was not what I was looking for, based on the customer sites, homestead.

Conclusion on Homestead: This is a very strong product and is obviously geared toward people who have never had a web presence but need to create on quickly or those that may already have a brick-and-mortar presence.

Content, content, content, ad management, rSS publishing, rSS display. Website or
email course you will find everything they recommend that you have on a website as an option on VeryVipHosting, ebook, if you read any "internet guru" book. Their option is the choice for you, if you are trying to start a business online and you are just getting started. I've got give it to George Little and the people over at VeryVip.

Conclusion on VeryVipHosting: A solid product for the beginning online entrepreneur.

Put in my article source link code (one line of javascript) and
within a few minutes I was up and running, set up my forums, i typed in my information. They give you just enough freedom to make your site your own. The Probuildertool offered me a lot for only a $9.95 investment per month.

Great price and gives the experienced web designer enough freedom to create a really unique site. Conclusion on Probuildertool: Offers a lot of options and flexibility.

I encourage you to check them all out and
based on your needs choose the one that is right for you. But that's my opinion, i just found more flexiblilty with probuildertool. Do the job, honestly, if you are just getting started on the web or just need a web presence quickly any of these tools can.
