What are the best options for building a charity website?

If it's just a simple landing page initially, Cloudflare Workers or Pages can be great and they’re free! For domain registration, I recommend using Namecheap or similar services—just steer clear of GoDaddy for now and avoid adding extra features beyond the domain. Yes, you can always switch hosting providers later; I suggest setting your nameservers to Cloudflare regardless of the host you choose.

WordPress is definitely the way to go for a charity site. It's user-friendly and allows for future updates without much hassle. A no-code CMS like WordPress is ideal compared to maintaining a static HTML site, especially for non-tech-savvy users.

If you're on a very tight budget, I'm willing to host your site on my Namecheap account, set up WordPress for you, and give you admin access—just make sure to avoid any cracked themes or plugins to keep everything secure. Plus, we can set up SSL for free through Cloudflare!

Have you considered using Vercel? It’s a good option too!

For your domain, consider buying from services like Porkbun or Cloudflare; they're affordable and have low renewal rates. For hosting, a cheap managed WordPress host is ideal, and they typically handle the SSL via Let's Encrypt. Additionally, yes, you can change hosts later as long as you have control over your domain and DNS settings. Just be cautious about user logins, as that can complicate things with password resets and privacy policy management.
