For years, I paid for a managed WordPress subscription — just to host a simple personal web page.
It wasn’t much work, but it added up: ₹5,000–₹10,000 every year.
On top of that, I barely updated the site.
This year, I decided to change that.
With help from ChatGPT, I set up a simple website — without paying for managed hosting.
It now costs me zero for hosting, and only the basic domain renewal from GoDaddy.
Here's how:
1. Host a static site for free using Cloudflare Pages (or GitHub Pages/Netlify)
2. Point your GoDaddy domain to your new site (simple DNS update)
3. Build your page using basic HTML + CSS (ChatGPT can generate this for you)
4. Update anytime with a few clicks — no ongoing hosting fees
Simple. Fast. Free.
If you're still paying annually for basic website hosting, this is worth exploring. ChatGPT can give you detailed steps too.
