A site you keep running, or a site that is simply there.
WordPress can be anything, and someone has to keep it that way: updated, patched, backed up, renewed. Ullbek is an AI website builder. You describe the site, it builds a real, custom website around your business and publishes it, and then there is nothing to update, nothing to patch and nothing to renew. Here is the honest difference, and who each one is for.
You need WooCommerce or a real shop with a basket and checkout, member logins, a very large blog, a particular plugin your business runs on, or you want to type into an editor box every day. There is no click-to-edit here, and that is deliberate.
You have a website, not a web app: three to thirty pages, a contact form, galleries, a map. You never want to maintain it again, and you would rather say what should change than learn how to change it.
WordPress-side figures on this page come from published reports and from hosts' own pages, as of November 2026; every one is listed in the sources at the end. They change, so check before you decide. Ullbek's prices are on our pricing page, and there are none on this page on purpose.
Nothing to update.
Nothing to patch. Nothing to renew.
An Ullbek site has no plugins, no theme, no admin login page and nothing running on it when a visitor arrives. It is built around what you describe, published, and then it is simply there, the same tomorrow as today. Every row below comes back to that.
An intro price for the first term, a theme shared with thousands of other sites, and a page builder to bend it into shape.
Forms, galleries, speed, backups, security, the cookie banner. Each one on its own update and renewal schedule.
Update, back up, patch, renew, or pay someone to.
Say what the site is for and how it should feel, or point Ullbek at the site you already have. It asks what it needs to know.
Each page is designed, written and checked in a real browser as you watch. Say what to change.
Free on a .ullbek.site address that never expires, or on your own domain with premium hosting. Nothing to maintain after.
We read the support forums, the hosting reviews, the Reddit threads and the comments under the "should I leave WordPress" videos. These are the twelve, in owners' own words (paraphrased, nobody named), with the honest answer for each: does Ullbek remove it, or only partly?
What owners sayGoogle says my site is dangerous. There are pages selling pills I never wrote and an admin user I never created. We paid to have it cleaned, and three weeks later it was back.
YesThis goes away. An Ullbek site has no plugins, no admin login page on the site and nothing stored on the site to break into, so there is nothing on the site to patch or to break into. The probes that walk every new address looking for a WordPress login find nothing to use. Your account can still be tricked out of its password, which is why your login is the thing to guard; the site itself has nothing to clean. Why WordPress sites keep getting hacked →
What owners sayI clicked Update because it told me to. Now the whole site says "There has been a critical error on this website", or it is just a white screen, and I am locked out of the dashboard. The recovery email went to the developer who built it in 2021.
YesThere is nothing to update: no plugins, no theme, no version of anything underneath. A page that worked yesterday works today, and nothing can change it except you.
What owners sayI run a bakery. I did not sign up to learn backups, security plugins and staging sites. For a five-page website it is the most complicated thing in my business, and I have given up.
YesThere is no maintenance to do, because there is nothing to maintain. When something about the site should be different, you say so and it changes. That is the whole job.
What owners sayIt was $79 to sign up and $554 to renew. Then an email saying I had "outgrown my plan". Then a charge after I had cancelled, because of a 30-day notice clause nobody mentioned.
PartlyOne flat monthly price per site, the same at renewal, no visits metered, cancel any time, and the free address never expires. The honest limit: Ullbek is not cheaper than the cheapest shared hosting, and we will not say it is. See the price →
What owners sayAnalytics shows 4,500 visits this month. My host's meter shows 25,000 and wants me on a bigger plan. On the cheap plan it was worse: the site fell over every few weeks and support said "bot traffic".
YesNothing is metered, so a bot visit costs you nothing, and there is nothing running on the site for a flood of probes to knock over. The bill half of this is specific to visit-metered managed hosts; the knocked-over half is anyone on shared hosting. Neither follows you here.
What owners sayTwenty-nine plugins. Four of them want renewing this month, two of them fight each other, and the SEO one shows an upgrade banner that I would need another plugin to hide.
YesThere are no plugins. A contact form, a gallery, a map, a booking button are just part of the page. Nothing to renew, nothing to conflict, no banner.
What owners sayChanging the opening hours costs $150 and a week's wait. I moved to WordPress because someone said it was better for Google, and I lost the ability to edit my own website.
YesWith one honest sentence. You change the site by describing the change, in minutes, with no developer in the loop. The limit: there is no box to click into and type. If you want to type a new post into an editor every morning, Ullbek is the wrong tool, and we say so. Why there is no click-to-edit →
What owners sayThe certificate expired two months ago and every visitor sees "Not secure". My web guy has stopped answering. I pay $100 a month for a site I cannot touch, and I do not know where it even lives.
MostlyYou hold the account. You change the site by asking, there is no middleman and no server login to hand over, and the certificate renews itself. The honest limit: if your domain is registered in the developer's name, only the registrar can fix that, and nobody else. The moving guide shows how to check before you do anything else.
What owners sayDown since five this morning. The host says it is a plugin, the plugin's forum says it is the host, and the WordPress forum says "ask your host". An hour and a half waiting on live chat to reach a person.
PartlyThere is nothing running on the site to crash, and the builder, the hosting, the forms and the domain are one company, so there is one place to ask and nobody to pass you along. The honest limit: support is by email. There is no phone line and it is not around the clock, and we will not imply otherwise.
What owners sayEight seconds to load on a phone. PageSpeed gives me 52. The page builder itself takes a minute to open a page, and I am considering rebuilding the whole site just to escape it.
YesNothing runs on the site when a visitor arrives, so there is nothing to speed up and no caching plugin to install. And there is no editor to lag. We do not promise a score; we show you the page.
What owners sayThe contact form says "Message sent". Nothing reaches me. Or hundreds of spam messages a day reach me, and the one real enquiry is in the junk folder. I only found out when a customer rang to ask why I never replied.
YesThe form is built in and delivers to your inbox from Ullbek's own sending address, with spam checked before it reaches you. Every message is kept too, so if one goes astray you can ask Ullbek to show you what arrived.
What owners sayIt looks like every other business in town with the same theme. And last month, after a cache plugin updated, the columns stacked on top of each other and the design was just gone.
YesA real, custom site built around what you describe, not a theme with your logo dropped in. And nothing in it can update itself out from under the design.

What a small-business WordPress site costs a year, from the hosts', plugin makers' and maintenance companies' own published prices, in US dollars, as of November 2026. Ranges, not averages; your site will land somewhere in them.
| Line item | What owners pay | Where the figure comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | The intro price is for the first term only. On the hosts' own pages, Bluehost is $3.99 a month then $9.99 at renewal; Hostinger $1.99 then $10.99; DreamHost $2.89 then $10.99; SiteGround AU$3.99 then AU$26.99 excl. GST. Managed hosting about $240 a year and up. | Hosts' plan pages4; DreamHost cost guide5 |

One flat monthly price per site, the same at renewal, visits are never metered, cancel any time. The free .ullbek.site address never expires. Building a site uses AI credits; a free credit covers your first builds, then one-time packs. No plugins to renew, no security subscription, no care plan, nobody to pay by the hour. We put no price on this page on purpose; it is on the pricing page, where it stays current.
Twenty years of plugins: events, directories, calculators, multilingual sites, a thousand niche tools. Ullbek has none. If a page needs something, the builder makes it, but there is no catalogue to browse and no third-party tool to bolt on.
A real shop, with a basket, checkout, stock, shipping rules and tax. Ullbek builds websites, not web apps: product pages link out to where you sell, and orders arrive as requests. If the shop is the business, this is not a close call.
Anything where a visitor signs in and gets something different from everyone else. Ullbek does not do this, by design, and will not add it.
A site with thousands of posts, authors, scheduled publishing and comments is what WordPress was built for. Ullbek moves tens of posts comfortably and probably hundreds; ask first past that.
You can log in and type into the page. On Ullbek you describe the change instead. Most people prefer it; some want the box. Why we built it this way →
Any host will run WordPress, and every problem you hit has a forum thread about it. The thread usually assumes you know what FTP and cPanel are, but it exists.
No core, no theme, no plugins, no version of anything underneath. The update that broke your site on a Tuesday night cannot happen, because there is no update.
No admin login page, no plugins to patch, nothing stored on the site to break into. The probes that walk every new address looking for a WordPress login find nothing to use. Guard your account password; the site itself has nothing to clean.
Built in, delivered to your inbox from Ullbek's own sending address, spam checked first, and every message kept, so none is only ever in a junk folder. No form plugin, no sending plugin, no spam plugin.
Nothing runs on the site when a visitor arrives, so there is nothing to cache and nothing to tune. No score promised; the page speaks for itself.
"Move the opening hours to the top of the contact page and add Saturday." Done, in minutes, in front of you. No developer, no invoice, no week's wait.
The builder, the hosting, the forms and the domain are all Ullbek. When something is wrong there is one email to send, and nobody to tell you to ask your host.
Say what the business is and how it should feel, and the site is designed for that: the type, the colour, the way each page is laid out. Not a theme shared with thousands of other sites, and nothing that can update itself out from under the design.
Nothing in our tests needed a server login, a database, a plugin or a theme. You bring one of three things.
Say "Rebuild this site from its address, keep every page and bring the photos across." Ullbek reads every page, downloads the photos and rebuilds the site around what it found, asking once about anything it is unsure of.
WordPress makes one export file (Tools, then Export) with every page, post, category and image in it. Upload it in the site's Files panel and name it in your message. Ullbek reads it, re-hosts the images and builds the posts as article pages with an index.
The pages you saved from your browser and the photos you have go into the site's Files panel. Ullbek reads them like anything else, notices what is missing, and fills the gaps or asks.
Placeholder text and stale facts come across faithfully too, so Ullbek asks what to do with them rather than guessing.
In our tests, a six-page small-business site took about 17 minutes from its address, with one round of questions; a 21-page, 56-post blog took about half an hour from its export file. The step-by-step, including what to check before you leave your old host, is in the guide: Move your WordPress site to Ullbek →
You do, and it is the best reason to stay. So here is exactly where you stand with Ullbek, in plain words and nothing more.
WordPress is the right pick if you need a shop, member logins or a particular plugin, and someone to keep it all running. Ullbek is the right pick if you have a website and want it to simply be there: built around your business, changed by saying so, and never maintained again.
Yes, three ways. If the site is still online, give Ullbek its address: it reads every page, brings the photos across and rebuilds the site around what it found. If you have a WordPress export file, upload it in the site's Files panel and name it in your message. If the old site is gone, drop in the pages you saved and your photos. In our tests a six-page small-business site took about 17 minutes from its address, with one round of questions. The guide →
Not if the site is still online: the address is enough. An export is worth making if you have a blog with many posts, because the export carries every post, its categories and its images in one file. In WordPress it is under Tools, then Export. If the old site is already offline, the pages you saved from your browser and your photos work too.
Ask Ullbek to keep the same page addresses, so old links and search results still land on the right page. A rebuild is a redesign, and Google re-reads the pages it already knows. How search engines find your site →
They come across. Posts become article pages with an index you can filter and search, each with its tags, reading time and previous and next links. Tens of posts is a comfortable move: in our tests a 21-page, 56-post site took about half an hour from its export file. Hundreds of posts is probably fine, but ask first.
Honestly, no. Ullbek builds websites, not web apps: there is no basket, no checkout and no stock count, by design. Product pages link to where you sell, such as Shopify, Etsy or your payment page, and orders and bookings arrive as requests. If the shop is the business, WordPress with WooCommerce or Shopify is the better home for it. How bookings and orders work here →
Yes. You describe the change and it is made, in minutes, with no developer in the loop. What there is not is a box to click into and type. If you want to type a new post into an editor every morning, Ullbek is the wrong tool and we say so. Why there is no click-to-edit →
You keep it. Leave it registered where it is and point it at the new site; Ullbek gives you the records to add and checks them for you. A custom domain needs premium hosting; the free .ullbek.site address needs nothing. Before you move, check whose name the domain is registered in. If it is your old developer's, get it back first, because only the registrar can fix that. Publishing and going live →
