Looking to test drive your new website before you commit to it? We’ve got just the thing for you. Spend the next seven days playing around with our Site Builder for free and get a feel for having your own website.

You’ll be able to lay the road map to your website’s design. Besides that, designing your own website will help you find the look and feel you want. That’s something only you can do.


Steps to access the Site Builder 7-day free trial

Follow these steps to access the Site Builder 7-day free trial.

On our Site Builder page, click on the demo button to test create your first website.

Choose from the host of templates and themes available. Different templates will suit different website ideas better. Give as many of them a chance to see what will match your style best. Remember, the layout and design will send a message that your text won’t be able to.

When you’re done designing your website, hit the publish button.

Once you hit publish you’ll be redirected to the shopping cart with your Site Builder Free Trial already inside. We’ll put your website aside for a moment and get your domain name sorted. 

You need a domain name for your website to exist on the internet. If you already have one you can use that domain name. A new domain name will cost a small fee.

Whether you decide to add a new domain or not, you’ll have a chance to review.

If you plan to use an existing domain that you own your Review & Checkout page will look like the image above. If you register a new domain that will be added to your total.

For the next step, you’ll have to create an account or log into your Client Area if you already have one. While you’re on our website, click the user account button at the top to bring down the login button.

If you don’t have an account click the button next to it to Register.

That’s it. Six short steps for a 7-day trial of what could be your future website. They say the best things in life are free, but only for seven days!

Alphabets are a random collection of symbols that, when put in a certain order, convey a specific meaning. We use our senses to understand this meaning. When we become immersed in the symbols' meaning, we're under the illusion that it's real - we hallucinate after looking at the symbols. Thus, I create hallucinations, using arbitrary symbols. In other words, I'm a writer. I've been a part of the Marketing Team since 2021 and am responsible for much of the text content HOSTAFRICA produces.
