If you are considering a new website for your holiday home, this article aims to give you a few pointers, some of which may save you following a path that leads you off into the wrong direction. So to kick things off we are going to cover:
- What your Holiday Home Website needs
- What your Holiday Home Website certainly DOESN’T need
- The costs of maintaining a website and the pro’s and con’s of FREE website design and hosting services

According to GoDaddy, in the table below, you should expect to pay £1235 per YEAR for a bespoke website for your holiday home.
Well…we charge £110 per year
Or you could choose to do all the work yourself and pay GoDaddy an extra £169 year!Â

Take care when considering
- ‘Economy ‘ Website Hosting. You will very likely need to upgrade to a more expensive tiered plan once people start visiting your website.Â
- Page-builder website platforms, such as Wix. Websites built on these platforms cannot be transferred to other providers or converted into a Wordpress website.You are also often tied into a monthly subscription.
- Sub-domain names (eg:yourholidayhome.pagebuilder.com) These don’t look particularly professional and nor will they perform as well on search engines.Â
- Registering your domain name yourself. After registering a new domain, there may be a 60 day wait period imposed before you can transfer it to our hosting service. As your domain name is included within our hosting service it makes sense to let us register your domain for you.
