Is there a free alternative to Google Sites that’s open source? I want one with free custom domains, not subdomains.
minus-squarebeta_tester@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoYou want a website? https://wordpress.org/ is open source
minus-squarerocketmaster@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoYes, but it’s a script you install on a web server. I want a builder that’s similar to Google Sites.

minus-squareares35@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agobasic plan is free, yup. iirc you have to pay to ‘bring your own domain’ (vs using a subdomain off theirs’)
minus-squarenarwhal@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoDomain registrations are not free. It’s an annual fee, I don’t think any company will give those out for free. I can recommend using https://www.namecheap.com/ for domain registrations.
