🚨 The Truth About FREE Websites: What They Don’t Tell You

🚨 The Truth About FREE Websites: What They Don’t Tell You

When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Recently, we were contacted by a client who had fallen into the trap of a company offering her a “free website.” The pitch was simple: she only had to pay for hosting. Sounds like a dream, right? Unfortunately, that dream quickly turned into a nightmare for her startup business.

Instead of a professional, optimized website, she was left with a sloppy build that didn’t reflect her brand and wasn’t user-friendly. Worse still, the hidden costs weren’t financial—they were emotional and reputational. Here’s what went wrong:

❌ The Pitfalls of “Free Websites”

• No Access to Her Own Domain The client discovered she didn’t even own her company’s domain. It was registered under the developer’s control, leaving her powerless.

• Locked Out of the CMS When she asked for access to WordPress, the developer told her she couldn’t have it because she “needed a degree in web development.” (Yes, they actually said that!)

• Radio Silence from Developers Whenever she requested small updates, her messages went unanswered. She was left stranded, with no control over her own online presence.

✅ How MD Web Experts Stepped In

That’s when Tara from MD Web Experts took action. We contacted both the hosting company and the so-called “web developers” to regain control of the domain and website.

Today, the situation is fixed. The domain is now registered to the client, and she has full access to her website and CMS. We’re rebuilding her site from the ground up—optimized, professional, and truly hers.

💡 The Lesson for Business Owners

“Free websites” are rarely free. They often come with hidden strings attached—loss of control, poor quality, and endless frustration. Your website is the digital face of your business. It should be something you own, control, and feel proud of.

At MD Web Experts, we believe in transparency, professionalism, and empowering our clients. When you work with us, your domain and website belong to you—not to us, not to a third party. We build solutions that last, with full access and support every step of the way.
