Funktionen und Dienste

SiteBuilder.com was a hosted website builder. You didn’t manage a server. You dragged blocks onto a page, and the platform handled hosting, security and updates behind the scenes. Billig, einfach, aimed squarely at first-time site owners.

Hier ist das Ding: describing its feature set in the present tense would be dishonest. The product isn’t sold to new customers. What actually matters now is what the brand became.

What Happened to SiteBuilder.com

SiteBuilder.com ended up inside Newfold Digital, the group formed in 2021 from Endurance International Group and Web.com. Newfold also owns Bluehost, HostGator, Domain.com and Network Solutions. Im Januar 2026, it consolidated SiteBuilder.com into the Network Solutions brand.

The company’s own announcement is reassuring on the surface. Accounts move over, and most customers keep the same login. It promises that all current services, einschließlich Domänen, builder tools and hosting, “will stay active throughout the transition.” On billing, it says: “There are no changes to your current rates as part of this transition.”

So existing sites keep running. But new buyers are pushed to a different product entirely.

The Successor: Network Solutions AI Website Builder

If you land on SiteBuilder.com today, the product on offer is the Network Solutions AI Website Builder. It generates a first draft of your site from a few questions about your business, then you edit it. All three plans include:

• AI-powered website builder with a drag-and-drop editor
• One year free domain and domain privacy (not valid on renewals)
• Three months free professional email
• One month free SSL certificate (SSL encrypts traffic between your site and visitors, and browsers flag sites without it)
• One hour of expert design support, gültig für 14 days from purchase
• Logo builder and design studio

Higher tiers add appointment scheduling, email and social marketing, a Google Business listing, and selling on Facebook, Instagram, Amazon and eBay. Notice a pattern in that list? Nearly every “kostenlos” item expires. The domain is free for a year, email for three months, SSL for one month, design help for 14 Tage.

Data Center Locations and Performance

Network Solutions doesn’t publish server locations, storage limits or bandwidth caps for the builder plans. We found no independent speed or uptime benchmarks for SiteBuilder.com or its successor. Older reviews quote template counts and storage figures, but none of that is confirmed on any live page today, so we won’t repeat it.

What we can say: no independent benchmark data exists to support any performance claim here. Treat marketing language about speed as unverified.

Kundenerfahrung

This is where the review gets bleak. SiteBuilder.com holds a 1.1/5 Bewertung über 185 Kundenbewertungen. The distribution matters more than the average:

• 5-Star: 2%
• 4-Star: 1%
• 3-Star: 0%
• 2-Star: 2%
• 1-Star: 95%

Most hosting brands show a bimodal split: lots of five stars, a cluster of ones, a hollow middle. Not this one. It’s a near-vertical wall of one-star reviews. The review profile is also unclaimed, meaning the company never responded to any of it.

One more signal worth flagging: only two reviews were posted in the last 12 Monate. That’s not a company recovering. That’s a company almost nobody is buying from anymore.

Was Kunden loben

The positive feedback is thin, and honesty demands we say so. Das 3% who rated it four or five stars point to two things. The editor is easy for a complete beginner. And the introductory price is low.

Independent editorial reviewers rate it more kindly. One major review site scores it 4.4/5 and calls it easy to use. That gap between editorial scores and customer scores is worth pausing on. Editorial reviewers test the signup and the editor. Customers live with the billing.

Häufige Beschwerden

Three themes dominate, and they reinforce each other.

You can’t cancel. This is the number one complaint by a wide margin. Reviewers repeatedly report they couldn’t cancel from the account portal and couldn’t reach a human. Ein Januar 2026 reviewer wrote, in capitals: “SO DIFFICULT TO CANCEL WITH THIS COMPANY – BILLING FOR EXPIRED SERVICES.”

Billing continues after the service ends. Multiple customers say charges kept landing after their site or domain had expired. One reported the company kept drawing funds using an expired debit card date, after the service had lapsed. On a separate consumer complaints site, which rates the brand 2.1/5, one user described losing roughly USD 375 while locked out of their own site.

Support doesn’t respond. “They have no customer service. You can’t reach them,” reads one representative complaint. Customers describe unanswered emails and unreachable phone lines while their billing continued.

Community-Feedback (Reddit & Foren)

Community discussions are consistent with the review platforms, and blunter.

On Reddit, there’s no defense of the product anywhere. We found zero threads recommending it. In r/web_design, a developer whose client had registered through the platform called it “from my experience so far, a borderline scam.” The brand also appears on the widely-shared Reddit lists of EIG and Newfold brands that users advise avoiding, alongside Bluehost, HostGator and iPage.

The most telling community thread is what people do to escape. Customers describe cancelling through PayPal, or calling their bank to block the card, because they couldn’t stop the charges any other way. When your users treat a chargeback as the standard cancellation route, something is broken.

Did the Network Solutions takeover fix any of this? Apparently not. An April 2026 reviewer, posting after the migration, wrote: “Do Not Use! Schrecklicher Kundenservice. Network Solutions took over and they are Just as bad – Very hard to cancel.”

Support-Qualität

Under Network Solutions, support runs through live chat and phone. Sales queries go to 1-877-727-2043. Cancellations go to 877-628-8686. Former SiteBuilder customers with migration problems get 866-227-1474.

No response time is published anywhere, and there’s no service level agreement (GRÜNER SALAT, a contractual uptime or response guarantee) on the builder plans. The company describes its support as “award-winning” without naming the award. Based on the customer reviews, we’d treat that claim with caution.

When to Use SiteBuilder.com

Let’s be direct. There is no scenario in 2026 where we’d tell a new customer to seek out this brand, because you can’t actually buy it. But two situations are worth addressing.

If You’re an Existing SiteBuilder.com Customer

Your site keeps working, and doing nothing is a valid short-term choice. Newfold committed that services stay active and current rates don’t change as part of the migration. If your site is live and your bill is unchanged, there’s no emergency.

Do these three things anyway. Check your billing statements for charges you don’t recognize. Confirm your renewal date in the account manager. And export or rebuild your content somewhere else before your next renewal, because renewal is when the pricing conversation actually starts.

If You’re Considering the Successor Product

• You want a site live today and don’t want to learn an editor, because the AI draft removes the blank page
• You value a single bill covering builder, domain and hosting, because everything’s bundled
• You’re comfortable paying USD 15.99/mo from year two, because that’s the real price

That last point isn’t a throwaway. Only sign up if the renewal price, nicht der Aktionspreis, still looks like good value to you.

When NOT to Use SiteBuilder.com

For most people reading this, this is the section that matters.

Schauen Sie woanders hin, wenn

You’re a new customer shopping for a website builder: the brand isn’t sold anymore, and the customer rating it leaves behind is 1.1/5. Nothing about that record earns your credit card. Wix sits at 3.5/5 und Squarespace bei 3.3/5 with the same kind of customers.

You want to own and move your content: proprietary builders lock your site into their editor. If you might migrate later, self-hosted WordPress gives you an exit route. A hosted builder generally doesn’t.

You’re building a serious store: bei Erneuerung, the e-commerce plan costs USD 28.99/mo. At that price it competes with Shopify and dedicated platforms. They have better tooling and far better support reputations.

Warnsignale für Ihre Situation

• You want to cancel online: you can’t. Cancellation requires chat or a phone call, and that’s exactly what customers complain about most.
• You hate surprise renewals: auto-renewal is the default, charged to your card on file, at up to 3.20x the price you first paid.
• You need a guaranteed refund: no money-back guarantee is advertised on the product page. The terms also confirm a Processing Fee applies if you cancel within any guarantee window.
• You rely on the free extras: die Domäne, email and SSL freebies all expire, and the domain offer explicitly doesn’t apply to renewals.

There’s relevant history here. Im April 7, 2015, the US Federal Trade Commission settled charges against Network Solutions LLC for misleading consumers about refunds. The FTC alleged the company promoted a “30 Tagesgeld-zurück-Garantie” but didn’t adequately disclose that it withheld up to 30% of the refund. The settlement bars it from misrepresenting refund terms. That’s an old case, and the company operates under that order today. We flag it because the complaint pattern in current reviews rhymes with it.

If any of this applies to you, see the alternatives below.

SiteBuilder.com Transparency Score

We assess how upfront the brand is with information that affects your wallet:

• Firmeninformation: Begrenzt. SiteBuilder.com never made its ownership obvious, and customers noticed. Today the footer names Network Solutions, GMBH, with legal pages pointing to Newfold Digital. Clearer than before, but you have to dig to learn who bills you.
• Preistransparenz: Gut. This is the genuine bright spot. The successor prints “Renews at USD 15.99/mo” on the pricing card itself. Most budget hosts hide that number.
• Technische Dokumentation: Arm. No published storage limits, Bandbreitenbeschränkungen, server locations or uptime SLA for the builder plans. You’re buying blind on specs.
• Bedingungen & Richtlinien: Begrenzt. The Processing Fee is confirmed in the terms but never quantified. No money-back guarantee appears on the product page. Auto-renewal is disclosed, though cancellation is deliberately offline.

Gesamttransparenz: Gemischt, and lopsided. The pricing disclosure is better than most rivals. Everything touching cancellation and refunds is vague in ways that happen to favor the seller. When the clear disclosures are the ones that sell and the vague ones are the ones that cost you, that’s a pattern, not an accident.

Alternatives to SiteBuilder.com

Since the product is gone, the useful question is where to go instead. These three address the specific gaps above.

For Beginners Who Want Support That Answers: Wix

Let’s keep this honest. Wix rates 3.5/5 über 28,441 Kundenbewertungen, which is decent, not spectacular. But it’s three times SiteBuilder’s score, the editor is just as easy, and you can cancel without a phone call. Sehen Sie sich unsere an Vergleich zwischen Wix und Squarespace to choose between the two leaders.

For Design-Led Sites: Platz

Squarespace sits at 3.3/5 über 4,297 Bewertungen. Nochmal, not perfect. You get better templates, better content tools and no cancellation maze. Nobody is calling their bank to escape it. Unser Squarespace vs Weebly breakdown covers where it fits.

For Budget Buyers Who Want an Exit Route: WordPress on Shared Hosting

If price is the reason SiteBuilder appealed, WordPress on decent shared hosting is cheaper at renewal and your content stays portable. That portability is the thing a proprietary builder never gives you. Start with our Shared-Hosting-Vergleich, or weigh the tradeoffs in WordPress vs. Website-Builder.

SiteBuilder.com Plans and Pricing

⚠️ Verlängerungswarnung: SiteBuilder.com’s old plans are gone. The successor product’s entry plan costs 4,99 USD/Monat für das erste Jahr, dann erneuert um 15,99 USD/Monat. Das ist ein 3.20x springen. Das erste Jahr kostet USD 59.88. Every year after costs USD 191.88. Budget for the second number, nicht der erste.

Credit where it’s due. Network Solutions prints the renewal price directly on the pricing card, which many competitors bury in fine print. Here’s what you actually pay, verified July 2026.

Website Plan

Eintrittspreis: 4,99 USD/Monat (one-year term, billed upfront as USD 59.88)

Erneuert sich um: 15,99 USD/Monat (USD 191.88/year)

A basic site or blog. This is the plan most first-time buyers pick, and it carries the steepest renewal multiple of the three.

Webseite + Marketing Plan

Eintrittspreis: 7,99 USD/Monat (billed upfront as USD 95.88) | Erneuert sich um: 20,99 USD/Monat (USD 251.88/year)

A 2.63x increase. Adds appointment booking, social and email marketing, and a Google Business listing.

E-commerce Plan

Eintrittspreis: 13,99 USD/Monat (billed upfront as USD 167.88) | Erneuert sich um: USD 28.99/mo (USD 347.88/year)

A 2.07x increase, the gentlest of the three. Adds secure checkout and marketplace selling on Amazon, eBay and social platforms.

Versteckte Kosten, die es zu beachten gilt

• Domain-Erneuerung: Nur für das erste Jahr kostenlos. The terms say the offer is “not valid on renewals,” so you pay standard rates after that.
• SSL: free for one month, then a paid add-on.
• Professionelle E-Mail: free for three months, then paid.
• Billing structure: the full first term is charged upfront, nicht monatlich.
• Cancellation: the hosting terms confirm a Processing Fee applies if you cancel inside the money-back window. The amount isn’t stated in the terms.
• Tax: not addressed on the pricing page. Assume tax is added at checkout.

Preisurteil

The entry prices look competitive. The renewal prices don’t. At USD 15.99/mo, you’re paying mid-tier hosting money for an entry-level builder. And you’re locked into a proprietary editor you can’t export from.

Noch etwas. Auto-renewal is on by default, charged to the card on file. You can’t cancel from your dashboard. The terms tell you to “contact us via chat or call 877-628-8686.” Remember that detail. It’s the single most common complaint in the review data.

Fazit

Fazit

SiteBuilder.com earns 1.1/5 von 185 Kundenbewertungen, and the brand was absorbed into Network Solutions in January 2026. Both facts point the same way. Don’t buy it, because you can’t, and don’t seek out what replaced it on the strength of the old name.

Das Fazit

Mit 95% of its reviews at one star and cancellation as the top complaint, SiteBuilder.com leaves behind one of the worst customer records in hosting. The successor product does one thing better than its rivals: it prints the renewal price on the card. That honesty is real, und USD 4.99 becoming USD 15.99 is still a 3.20x jump.

Here’s the common mistake buyers make with this brand: they assume they can cancel from the dashboard before renewal. Das kannst du nicht, and that assumption is how the one-star reviews start. If you’re an existing customer, check your billing and set a calendar reminder before your renewal date.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Is SiteBuilder.com still in business?

Not as its own brand. Im Januar 4, 2026, Newfold Digital folded SiteBuilder.com into Network Solutions. The website now redirects to a Network Solutions login. Existing customers keep their sites and, per the company, their current rates. New customers are steered to the Network Solutions AI Website Builder instead.

Is SiteBuilder.com good for beginners?

The editor was easy, and that’s the one thing supporters agree on. But ease of use doesn’t help when you can’t cancel. Mit einem 1.1/5 Bewertung und 95% Ein-Stern-Bewertungen, we can’t recommend it to anyone, least of all a beginner making their first hosting purchase.

Worüber beschweren sich Kunden am meisten??

Cancellation, mit großem Abstand. Reviewers say they couldn’t cancel through their account and couldn’t reach support, while charges kept coming. Billing after a service had already expired is the second theme. Unresponsive support is the third. Many describe cancelling through PayPal or their bank instead.

How much does it cost now, and what’s the renewal price?

The successor’s plans start at USD 4.99/mo for the first year and renew at USD 15.99/mo, a 3.20x increase. The mid tier goes from USD 7.99 in USD 20.99. The e-commerce tier goes from USD 13.99 in USD 28.99. The first term is billed upfront, and auto-renewal is on by default.

Does SiteBuilder.com offer refunds?

No money-back guarantee is advertised on the current product page. The hosting terms confirm a Processing Fee is charged if you cancel within any guarantee period, but they never state the amount. Im 2015, the FTC settled charges against Network Solutions over exactly this kind of undisclosed cancellation fee.

What should I use instead?

For an easy builder with support that answers, Wix oder Squarespace. For a cheaper long-term bill and content you can actually take with you, WordPress auf Shared Hosting. Was auch immer Sie wählen, check the renewal price before the promo price. That’s the number you’ll live with.
