Do You Need Hosting If You Use a Website Builder?

If you're using a website builder, you've probably wondered whether you still need to buy hosting separately. In almost all cases, the answer is no. Here's why.

Hosting is built in

Website builders include hosting as part of your plan. Your pages are stored and served automatically — you don't buy or configure anything extra.

What you might still pay for

• A custom domain — your own .in or .com address.
• A higher plan — for more features or an online store.

What you don't need

You don't need separate hosting, a server, or technical setup. That's the whole point of a builder: it removes the technical layer so you can focus on your content and customers.
