The monthly fee never stops

Wix, Squarespace, and GoDaddy charge somewhere between £10 and £35 every month. Over five years that is £600 to £2,100, for a single small-business website. Raise the price, and you pay the new price, because cancelling takes your site offline.

A GitFoundry site is one payment from £999. After that, hosting is free on GitHub Pages, indefinitely. The longer your business runs, the more obvious the saving becomes.

Why "free" hosting is genuinely free here

A website is, at its core, a set of standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. Serving those files costs almost nothing, and GitHub Pages does it free for anyone. The monthly fee charged by website builders pays for their software and their staff, not for the bytes that make up your site.

GitFoundry hands you the finished files in your own account. They sit on free hosting that has nothing to charge you for, because there is no software subscription underneath.

You own it, so no one can switch it off

On a subscription platform, your site is only online while the payments continue. Miss a renewal and it disappears. With GitFoundry the source code is transferred to you on delivery, standard code any developer can read, edit, and move. There is no account to lapse and no lock-in.

Pay once. Own it forever.

From £999, one-time. Hosted free, source code yours, no subscription.

Frequently asked

01
Can I get a website with no monthly fees? Yes. GitFoundry builds your site for a one-time payment from £999. It is then hosted free on GitHub Pages with no monthly subscription. You own the source code outright.
02
Why do website builders charge monthly? Subscription is their business model, not a technical requirement. A standard HTML website can be hosted for free. Builders like Wix and Squarespace charge monthly because cancelling takes your site offline, which keeps you paying.
03
What happens if I stop paying GitFoundry? Nothing. There is nothing to stop paying. After the one-time build fee your site keeps running free, because you own it and it is hosted on GitHub Pages.
