The direct answer: most "web hosting" (GoDaddy, Squarespace, Wix) sells you space and then leaves you to build the site yourself. We do both — and it's free to start. $0 down, just $38/mo year 1 (drops to $20/mo after 12 months), your site live in 5 business days, no contracts. Prefer to own it sooner? $220 upfront + $20/mo.
DIY hosts like GoDaddy, Squarespace, and Wix rent you space and hand you a blank editor — you build, write, and maintain the site yourself. If you don't have the time or skills (most owners don't), you end up hiring a freelancer for $500–$3,000 anyway. Web by Lods.AI is done-for-you: we build your site from your Google and Facebook, host it, secure it, and keep it running. You approve; we do the work.
Secure hosting, an SSL certificate, updates, and uptime monitoring are all included in your monthly plan. There's no separate hosting bill to manage and no renewal you can forget. Your site runs on fast, reliable infrastructure with a free subdomain (yourbusiness.lods.ai) out of the box — or your own custom domain from $20/year.
Local service businesses with a Facebook Page or Google listing but no real website. Owners who are too busy to learn a page builder. Anyone who wants an AI chatbot and lead capture live from day one — without stitching together plugins. If that's you, we'll build a free demo before you pay a dime.
Free demo built from your real photos and reviews. $0 down, no payment until you say go.
