Not Ready for Marketing Yet? – Lets Get to First Base

Starting a website can feel overwhelming if you’re not ready for full marketing yet. The Gold Creek Advertising Starter Plan is designed for businesses that just want to get online the right way—without having to learn hosting, code, or complex tools.

We help you choose and register a domain, put your site online with 30 days of free hosting, and set up a simple, professional starter website with your core pages and contact details. After that, you can move into one of our ongoing plans or take your site elsewhere—either way, you’ll own your domain and have a working website to build on.

What’s included in the Starter Plan?

With this plan, you get:

  • Domain name assistance
    We help you choose and register a domain that fits your business and is easy for customers to remember.
  • 30 days of free hosting
    We place your new website online on our server for 30 days at no hosting charge, so you can see it live and share it with others.
  • Basic starter website setup
    We install and configure a user-friendly site framework, add your business name, contact details, and a few core pages (such as Home, About, and Contact) to get you started.
  • Guided first steps
    We show you how to log in, update simple text and images, and understand what you’ll want to add later as your business grows.

You don’t need to know anything about hosting, databases, or code—we take care of all of that behind the scenes.

Who the Starter Plan is for?

This plan is ideal if:

  • You don’t yet have a website and just want to get online quickly.
  • You’re not ready for a full advertising or SEO package, but you want a professional starting point.
  • You want help from someone who already runs servers and understands how to set everything up correctly.

After the first 30 days

At the end of the 30‑day free hosting period, you can:

  • Move into one of our regular hosting or maintenance plans,
  • Or export/migrate your site to another hosting provider if you prefer.

Either way, you’ll leave the Starter Plan with a working website, a domain in your name, and a clearer path forward for future marketing.

Starter Plan – FAQ

Do I need any technical knowledge to use the Starter Plan?
No. We handle the technical setup for you—domain, hosting, and starter site configuration. You’ll get a simple walkthrough showing how to log in and make basic text or image changes, with no coding required.

Will the domain be in my name or yours?
The domain will be registered in your name (or your business name), not ours. That means you own it and can keep using it whether you stay with Gold Creek Advertising or move to another provider later.

What happens after the 30 days of free hosting?
At the end of the 30‑day period, you can either continue on one of our hosting/maintenance plans or move your site elsewhere. If you decide not to continue, your site won’t stay live on our server, but you’ll still own the domain and can set it up with another host at any time.

Am I locked into a long-term contract?
No. The Starter Plan is a one-time setup,
