Website builder or WordPress?

Builders win when you want the site handled for you and never intend to touch a plugin. WordPress wins when you need unusual functionality or plan to grow content heavily — at the cost of maintenance you own.

How much hosting do a small site need?

Less than most plans sell. Traffic under a few thousand visits a day rarely needs more than solid shared or managed hosting; caching and image sizing affect speed far more than raw plan tier.

Which ecommerce platform is cheapest?

Cheapest monthly and cheapest overall are different questions. Self-hosted shops trade subscription cost for maintenance time, while hosted platforms fold hosting, security and payments into one predictable bill.
