Hi! I need some advice. I recently retired, but I plan to consult in the field I worked in for the past 40 years. I will have a very small clientele in consulting, but as a side gig, I would like to produce a blog that has a subscription and introduces people to me. I would like to monetize the blog. I currently host a blog on substack, but it has devolved from a writing space into another political minefield of social media or so it seems to me. So, I need a website host that is secure, multi-dimensional, allows me to use a domain name I bought on godaddy, and is good for someone with no coding skills.

I went to godaddy and they have a new product that seems to be included in the price of the domain. It seemed to rely on ai and it was annoying af immediately, because it came up with a bunch of random pictures and no clear way to change them. I might not have a lot of coding skills, but I still don't want to be a generic ai site. I read a bunch of other threads on here, but none seemed to answer the multi-dimensional nature of what I want and don't want...

Thank you!

My cousin wants a website for his home remodeling business. It's just a glorified business card, static site, to add legitimacy to his business and provide pictures of past work as well as contact information.

People always seem to recommend squarespace for this, but at $15/mo vs $10/mo for godaddy's website builder, I figured I'd ask if anyone had any experience with it.
