Stop Paying Separately for Hosting and a Domain

June 25, 2026 · 5 min read

Here’s the hidden cost most people discover too late: many website tools only help you design the pages. To actually put the site online you then pay — separately — for hosting, an SSL certificate and a domain name. Owlvo works differently.

The usual way: three bills

With many builders you design a nice site, then you still need to rent hosting (a server to keep it online), buy an SSL certificate for the padlock, and pay yearly for a domain. Three separate costs — and three things to set up.

The Owlvo way: included

Owlvo hosts your site for you and installs HTTPS/SSL automatically and free. There are no hosting fees and no SSL fees — they’re part of your plan.

A free subdomain, if that’s all you need

If you don’t want a custom domain, your site still goes live for free on an Owlvo subdomain (like yoursite.owlvo…), fully secured. Perfect for getting online fast without paying a registrar.

Want your own domain? You’re in control

Prefer yourbrand.com? Buy the domain from any registrar and point it to Owlvo — the only thing you pay for is the domain name itself, to the registrar. See how to connect a custom domain.

Simple, predictable cost

One plan covers building, hosting, SSL and publishing. No surprise renewals from three different companies.
