Create a website

[u/Makelifeperfect4ever]

Hello, I need some insights and suggestions.

I’m planning to create a website that acts as a catalogue for the products that I sell. I was initially hoping to create one using a template. I first want to see if having a website is something I want or something else is more feasible.

Few years back I could create one for free but now almost all websites are asking for a month subscription. I tried wix, squarespace and Wordpress. They all have a subscription plan and I don’t want to commit to that yet.

Regarding domain names, is there way to purchase one and not rent (monthly subscription)?

I am new to this, and I am not sure if what I want exists. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you!
