CONS of Webs
- Similarly to SITE123 website builder, you need to upgrade to get access to more email accounts. Not good for users.
- Compared to others on this list, Webs design templates did seem a touch outdated. It also wasn’t as easy to edit.
- Different site builder, same story. Cheapest – $5.99/mo plan is very limited. E-commerce plans are more expensive, starting at $22.99/month paid annually.
- Higher renewal rates. This is a perfect example of what happens when discounts expire. We’ve had this test site for a few years now. And you’ll see in the image above that years two and three were more expensive. The new customer discount expired. Hence, if you see a website builder offering two or 3-year terms, you’re better off paying for it to save as much as possible with the new customer pricing.
- Webs performance let us down a little. The uptime was only 99.83% over the past few months, meaning our site has spent a full day completely down. No website, no customers!
PROS of Webs
- Webs.com hosts over 55 million sites. Mostly through web hosting.
- They provide a lot of themes and templates to choose from, over 400.
- Webs also provided good customer service experience. Live chat only takes a few seconds to get started, and the agent was very helpful.

No.
Webs builder is fine. But way behind most of the other options on this list.
The templates are a little outdated. The performance hasn’t been very good. And the pricing seems kinda high based on what we’ve seen.
