Is there a free alternative to Google Sites that’s open source? I want one with free custom domains, not subdomains.

    Yes, but it’s a script you install on a web server. I want a builder that’s similar to Google Sites.

      As a developer: google sites is 100% the exact same as wordpress, just looks better.

      I’m not gonna slander you for not knowing the difference between a host and a content management system.

      The issue seems to be that google offers a pretty foolproof experience for people with limited technical knowledge. That is not the case with the majority of open source systems.

      Additionally: from what I hear, you wont get free top level domains with sites and not with other providers so please accept that you wont get this for free.

      Have a good one.

        basic plan is free, yup. iirc you have to pay to ‘bring your own domain’ (vs using a subdomain off theirs’)
