Do all web hosts charge for upgrades (per month) when using webtools such as the sitebuilder?

I have signed up with ipage as a web hosts but I notice that for the site builder software / web page design I have to pay extra to have the full version. I have not explored the other packages and if I also need to pay to use the full version of those. I assumed that the web host tools and software was free since nothing was mention in their blurb about extra charges to use this software. I am thinking of cancelling the deal as I think it could be costly. I operate a small elearning business. Would welcome any suggestions on other hosts.

    If you'd like you can check with Fatcow. It has been reviewed well by webhostingbreak which is a professional reviewing website. There you can check and compare the features which these hosting companies offer. Fatcow has certain features on their site builder which you may not find with the other hosts. They are also offering free google adwords with the plans, http://www.webhostingbreak.com/free-google-adwords...

    No, such site builders are free.

    As an experienced webmaster I recommend BH web hosting which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

    You can reach reviews about this web hosting provider and its latest DISCOUNT COUPONS at:

    They also offer "Free Site Builder" that helps you build your web pages without difficulty if you are not skilled in using any website creating program. (WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get) You can use this service optionally. You can also create the pages offline with your favorite program (DreamWeaver, FrontPage, Microsoft Publisher, etc.), and then upload them to your web host. This is another easy way to get your website online.

    That just sounds ridiculous to me. Go to http://www.myownfreeweb.com/ where you can get free website, free hosting, free domain and 29 preinstalled free apps such as site builder, wordpress, blogger, and more. All for free for full versions, no extra charge.

    Nope they should not charge for Templates etc. and if it is on a different website than theirs then they can. You can use open source apps like Joomla, WordPress etc. to start a website and it works very well like others sites plus its FREE. The hosting service i use : http://www.inwebhosting.com/ has all the Value Added Apps PreInstalled. You can install them in one click.

    The mention of elearning makes me think that you will be growing out of anything created with those kind of tools fairly soon. You should probably look into free content management systems like drupal or joomla. Then your choice of provider would be based mostly on factors such as server performance, bandwidth and uptime.
