To build a small site from a kit

How do I get a site live?

Four steps, about an afternoon

Nothing to install. On $12 hosting WordPress, the page builder and every plugin are already there when the login arrives.

1. Get a $12 hosting account. The login is emailed the same working day.
2. Pick a kit under Kira → Template Kits and click Build the site.
3. Type your text over the sample text, swap the photos.
4. Point your domain at it. The guide shows how.

What does it cost?

$12 a month, that's it

Every plugin and kit is free. Hosting is $12 per site per month, or $120 a year prepaid, paid by card. No setup fee, and the price does not go up. It pays for the site to exist on the web; you run the site.

What the $12 covers

WordPress with every Web9 plugin preinstalled
A kit ready to pick
SSL, issued and renewed
Daily off-site backups, restore included
WordPress core and plugin updates
Uptime monitoring
Email support Monday to Sunday, 9–5 Pacific

What's extra

A domain, about $10–20 a year from any registrar. You point it at the site; the hosting platform shows you the exact settings. We don’t sell domains.

Can I cancel?

Any time, no notice period. Service runs to the end of the paid month, no partial refunds. Download a Backinator export of the whole site at any time.

Does the price go up?

No. $12 a month, or $120 a year prepaid, for as long as the site is hosted.

What do I own?

All of it

Nothing here is rented. If you leave, the site leaves with you.

The site

WordPress and the page builder run on your account. Pages are saved as plain HTML and CSS, not a proprietary format.

The content

Your text, photos, forms and form entries sit in your WordPress database and media library.

The data, anywhere

One click exports the whole site as a single file with its own installer (Backinator). Restore it on any host, any time, with or without us.

Do I need to worry about cookie banners and privacy laws?

The compliance basics are built in

Cookie consent, a privacy policy and accessibility are the three things small sites get letters about. All three come with Radmin, on hosting and in the free plugin: switch them on under Radmin → Compliance.

Cookie banner and consent

An accept / decline banner that holds tracking scripts (Google Tag Manager, custom scripts) until the visitor accepts.

Privacy policy, generated

Written from what your site actually runs. California-focused (CCPA/CPRA), with an optional EU/UK GDPR section. Add it to a page with one shortcode.

Accessibility built in

Skip link, visible focus outline, reduce-motion support, a visitor toolbar (text size, contrast, link underlines, readable font, stop animations) and a generated accessibility statement.

A checklist under Radmin → Compliance shows what is on and what is still missing, so you know where you stand.

Is it really free?

Free plugins, no paid tier

GPL, public repos. On $12 hosting they are preinstalled. Anywhere else, paste the repo URL under Plugins → Git Plugin or download the zip.
