This page sets 7 website builders side by side on what each provider publishes — free plan, built-in e-commerce, custom domain on paid plan, standard entry price — as at 2026-09-24. Which hosted website builder a Singapore small business should start on, comparing whether each offers a free plan, includes a built-in online store, supports a custom domain on paid plans, and what the standard ongoing price of the entry-level paid plan is. It does not rank them or say which is right for you; it lays out comparable facts so you can judge against your own needs. Promotional and intro prices are suppressed; the standard ongoing rate is shown. Where a vendor advertises a lower annual/yearly-billed or first-term rate, the standard month-to-month (or standard renewal) rate is recorded instead.

Where these figures come from

Each row is taken from the provider's own published information, current as at 2026-09-24:

  • Wix — wix.com
  • Squarespace — squarespace.com
  • Shopify — shopify.com
  • WordPress.com — wordpress.com
  • Weebly — weebly.com
  • Hostinger — hostinger.com
  • Webflow — webflow.com

What this page cannot tell you

  • Prices are each vendor's published standard rate as read from its official pricing page on 2026-09-24 and change often.
  • These are global tools; regional pricing and features may differ. Prices were region-detected at fetch time: Squarespace and Shopify displayed Singapore dollars (SGD), Hostinger, WordPress.com and Webflow displayed US dollars (US$), while the Wix and Weebly figures carried no clearly stated currency (Wix's were shown GST-inclusive), so those two prices are recorded verbatim with the currency unresolved.
  • The 'entry-level paid plan' is not the same product across vendors: Shopify has no non-store tier (it is e-commerce only), WordPress.com's entry Personal plan excludes plugins and a real store, and Webflow's Basic site plan excludes both a CMS and e-commerce; readers comparing on store capability should look one or two tiers up for some vendors.
  • GoDaddy was in scope but is not included: its official Website Builder page returned HTTP 403 to direct fetching and a browser load was hijacked by redirect/pop-up pages, so no figure could be verified from the official site.
  • Cell facts were read from each vendor's official pricing page; specific feature availability can vary by plan tier and by promotional state, and only the entry-level paid tier's price is recorded here.
