Webs.com

Webs.com had been one of the most sought after website builders available. Loaded with features and buffed up with super functionalities, webs.com was the favorite destination for all freebies. Another reason for its fame was the special domain that members would get, i.e. websitename.webs.com. According to website tool tester webs.com has more than 40 million websites hosted on their servers including 5 of codemakit’s own websites.  The veteran users would definitely agree that webs.com had its fair share of problems in the past including the constant waiting for one’s own site to load, the constant rejection by the server to save the changes made and the limited choices available to the users to modify their website. However, In the middle of 2012 a completely new version of their website builder was launched (version 3). Finally here are the pros and cons of selecting this as your default website builder.
