About
For about twenty years, a website has been sold as a monthly seat — twelve dollars, sixteen, twenty-nine, per site, per month, for a page that mostly sits there quietly doing its job. In that same twenty years the machinery underneath got dramatically cheaper. That gap, between what a website actually costs to run and what it's sold for, is where Lemonade Host lives.
So we built one product and priced it at what it costs: a website builder with the hosting included, ninety-nine cents a month, $11.88 billed yearly, unchanged at renewal. Every account gets the same thing — the editor, every template, the forms, the bookings, the cart. What follows is the reasoning behind that price, and what we're committing to so it stays trustworthy.
How the price works
Not a loss-leader, not an introductory rate. Three decisions make the real number this small.
A page you publish here is finished before anyone asks for it, so nothing idles in the background between visitors and nothing is kept warm around the clock on the chance that somebody shows up. A site that costs close to nothing to keep online can be sold for close to nothing, and that's most of the answer right there.
The usual trick is to price the entry plan so it can't quite do the job, then charge again for the thing you came for — a contact form that actually sends, a booking calendar, the ability to take a payment. All of that is in the 99¢ here. The single exception is a custom domain at 99¢ more a month, and it's printed on the pricing page in the same size type as everything else.
Ninety-nine cents doesn't need a quote, a demo, or a call about your requirements. The price is the same number, in public, whether you're the first customer or the thousandth — which is also most of why there's nobody to negotiate it with.
What we won't do
Four things we're holding ourselves to, stated plainly enough that you can check us on any of them later.
You lock in 99¢ a month the day you sign up, and that's still the number the day it renews — yearly or monthly, whichever you picked.
The cancel button lives in your account and works the moment you press it. No email required, no phone call, nobody asking if you've reconsidered.
Every site here is downloadable as plain HTML, CSS and images — the ones you build in the editor included. Take the same folder anywhere you like, whenever you like: no lock-in, no export step, no conversion.
We publish 99% because it's the honest target at this price, not because it's a rounder promise than a competitor's — and we'd rather you hold us to a real number.
How we run it
Nothing clever here — just the parts we refused to compromise on while building this.
Every claim on this site is one you could check yourself. We publish 99% uptime because that's the honest figure at this price, not because it reads better than a rounder promise.
No investor roadmap pushing toward a growth number, and no target that would eventually need the product to get worse to hit. A dollar a month works because the business is built to actually cost a dollar to run.
One website builder, hosting included, is the whole business — no tiers stacked on top of it, no feature held back behind an upgrade. What's on the pricing page is what every account gets.
Built for how sites get made now
A lot of small sites now stall in the same place: finished, but not online, because getting them there turned into the hardest step. We close that gap from both ends. If you don't have a site yet, start from a template, edit it in the browser and publish from there. If you already have one — including one an assistant just built for you in a chat window — connect a Git repository, drop in a zip, run the CLI, or let an MCP server publish straight from the conversation. Every route enters the same queue and comes out live, in seconds, not minutes.
