Why free hosting and a domain matter
Starting an online business, the most important thing is to provide hosting included and your own domain and SSL. Without a stable server the site can run slowly, and lacking your own domain (e.g. yourbusiness.com) looks unprofessional. According to a 2023 study by Gemius, 68 % of users assess a company's credibility by its URL – the shorter and more recognizable, the greater the trust.
- No upfront costs let you launch the project faster.
- You avoid hidden fees for basic services.
- You have full control over server configuration.
Hosting costs – comparison
The average price of shared hosting is from a low to a moderate monthly rate. For example, a popular provider Home.pl offers a “Start” package for a modest monthly fee, but charges extra for a domain (about a modest annual charge) and an SSL certificate (from a modest annual fee). Another player, OVH, offers a modest monthly rate, but SSL and domain are billed separately.
In practice, when choosing traditional hosting, the first‑year cost can range from a modest amount to a higher amount, depending on selected add‑ons. Proofsite eliminates these expenses, offering hosting included together with domain and SSL in the first year.
SSL as a security standard
An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate encrypts the connection between the browser and the server. Without SSL the browser shows a “Not secure” warning, which can deter up to 30 % of potential customers (data from Statista 2022).
- SSL boosts your ranking in Google – the algorithm favors HTTPS sites.
- It enables online payments (Stripe, PayPal) at no extra cost.
- It builds trust – customers are more likely to share contact details and make purchases.
The most popular free SSL certificates come from Let’s Encrypt, but their installation requires technical knowledge. Proofsite provides a ready‑made certificate at the moment the site launches.
What Proofsite offers in the first year
The Proofsite offer includes three main packages:
- Business website – $1,199, custom CMS, hosting, domain and SSL included in the first year, delivery in about 4 business days, 30 days money‑back guarantee.
- E‑commerce store – $2,399, up to 50 products, Stripe/PayPal integrations, hosting, domain and SSL included in the first year.
- Landing page – $399, fast ad campaign, hosting, domain and SSL included in the first year.
As a result, the cost to launch a full website does not exceed a reasonable total (including all essential elements), which compared with the market average of a broad range for similar services, represents a real saving.
How to use the offer and what you get
The ordering process is simple:
- Choose a package at leadsitelab.pro.
- Enter your business details and preferred domain name (e.g. yourbusiness.com).
- Pay once – all first‑year costs are already included.
- You receive a ready website in about 4 business days, with an active SSL certificate.
After one year you can renew hosting and domain at the standard market price (about a modest yearly fee for a .com domain and a modest yearly fee for hosting). With a 30‑day money‑back guarantee, the risk is minimal.
Customer reviews and real examples
Customers who used Proofsite’s offer highlight three main benefits:
- Savings – company EcoTech saved a significant amount in the first year, skipping extra fees for SSL and domain.
- Speed – Studio Kreatywne launched the site in 22 h, letting them start their ad campaign ahead of schedule.
- Security – an online fashion store saw a 15 % increase in conversions after moving to HTTPS, confirmed by their own study.
These results show that hosting included and domain and SSL in the package are not just a promotion but a real competitive advantage.
