What is web hosting?

Once your website is developed, its files (and maybe database) needs to be hosted somewhere on a computer, generally called a webserver computer. If the website is dynamic then database files also need hosting.

What is email hosting?

Just like file website hosting, you need email hosting if you wish to have your own website email IDs (e.g., abcd@yoursitename.com) on a webserver computer. Email hosting is also provided by the webservers (web-hosts) online.

Why a website?

What is a simple static website?

A static website is the website which have no server side programing code (C#, PHP, Java, Python etc) . It has generally some HTML/CSS code. It's very basic and simple website. Generally, it is cheaper than the dynamic website but sometimes it becomes expensive than dynamic ones based on the amount of work and functionalities.

What is a dynamic website?

A dynamic website is one which have server side programing code (C#, PHP, Java, Python etc) code (along with HTML/CSS/Javascript/JQuery). Users are able to use interactive functionality in your website. More advanced dynamic websites may also have a database at backend. Generally, it is more expensive than the simple static websites but sometimes it becomes cheaper than static ones. Best example is simple Wordpress dynamic CMS websites.

What are 'open source websites' (Wordpress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Drupal etc) websites?

Technically: An Open source website is a website whose source code is available freely for modification or enhancements by anyone.
Generally: An Open source website is considered as free because you don't have to pay for the development cost. However, you will be paying to the web app developer in order to make it work online. So, basically these websites cost you lesser as compared to custom coded websites. But be aware that these websites are more security prone as compared to custom coded websites. Also, these websites are a bit slower as compared to custom coded websites.

What is a CMS?

CMS stands for Content Management System. It is basically a website which is used to manage content such as text, images, audio and video on the website front. Wordpress is one such CMS which also an 'open source' CMS.

Why custom coding is expensive than 'open source' CMSs?

Because coder needs to write code from scratch for each and every single functionality availble in the website, web app or mobile app. While in 'open source' CMSs, most of the code is already written by the open source developers.

How much does a website cost?

How much time does it take to complete a website?

It depends on how big and complex is your website. Once you tell us your requirements then we can give you exact cost and time estimate.

Should We start with a custom website or a CMS website?

If you have very low budget (less than Rs.7500) then go for a static website.

If you have slightly hight budget (more than Rs.7500 and less than Rs. 15000) then go for a dynamic simple Wordpress website.

If budget is not a issue for you and the security and speed of the website is and also you need custom functionalities then you should go for a custom coded website.

It all depends on what you want from a website! In order to setup & deploy a CMS website (Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress etc), you will need a web progammer / web developer anyway. Thus the charges. But you get a lot of already developed (packaged) dynamic features with a CMS website. So if your functionality needs are fulfilled using one of these CMS websites then it is good to go with the CMS website development. It will cost you much lesser than a normal custom dynamic website development.

BUT, If your needs are different then and want a fast website then you must not go that way because in the long run you may have to spend much much more money in the future in order to make some amendments in it.
