Free websites for businesses in UK

Dunx69

I found this website which offers a completely free website for all businesses within the UK.

http://www.gbbo.co.uk




Because we're working with Google & BT we're able to offer you a free website for 2 years, after that you'll only have to pay a few pounds to renew your domain name for a further 2 years - you're not tied in to a contract and we won't put ads on your site without your permission.


GBBO is a joint initiative by Google, Enterprise UK, BT, e-skills UK and many other partners to help small businesses create their first website and help them understand the opportunities offered by the Internet. We've set a target of helping 100,000 UK organisations get their first website easily and for free by the end of 2010.

I used this for my charity event that I hosted, They then switched over my normal package to a business package charging me £300 for use of internet, phone, tv!

All because I used this for a website !

Hmmm. Shop around. There are lots of places that offer free webspace.

I found that this worked well for me as even I managed to set up a simple enough website for my business. Best of all it is totally free for 2 years !! Expect a call from them (BT) with a view to selling you a better package, i.e. design the website for you, design a logo for you and provide e-mail addresses for you e.g. you @ yoursite.co.uk. I didn't need this part of their service (was quoted £99 to £149 for the basic package) but allowed them their moment of sales patter before letting them down gently. Only available in .co.uk format but that suited me fine. Very useful for those needing a business site and a great freebie. Well posted !!

You can get email addresses for the site you set up (as per your example you @ yoursite.co.uk) for free via this scheme, they even tell you how to do it in the help pages.
