I would like to launch my own website with up to 10 videos of me speaking on the beach and some text. I want to add and change the content by myself. I have a laptop macbook pro. Would Deluxe 1000 yearly plan be enough?

I would like to register and buy a domain separately so to 10$/month I should add $7.99/month right?

What additional costs and apps should I expect? Should I sign any agreement?

Thank you for your advice.

The Deluxe 1000 plan for web hosting includes 1000 MB (1 GB) disk space. So, you need to calculate how large each video size is, and total it up. This disk size also includes the software size and any email storage you may use, so you will need to consider that too.

Regarding which software version you should get, the Lite version includes most of the features. The main features that are not included in Lite are the social networking and e-commerce features, which are available in the Full version if you need them.

You can even get the lowest version, the Promo, and it may work for you. Please check out our software comparison chart at: https://www.ultimatewb.com/compare-ultimatewb (Features > Compare Features from the top navigation menu). If you need any help deciding, please let us know.

You don't need the Videos app in the Full version if you just want to upload videos and embed them in your website yourself. You can upload your video files via the File Manager in your web hosting control panel, and then embed your videos in your page using the Ad(d)s app. We can provide you with the videos embed code and help you out with it.

The UltimateWB Full version has the built-in Videos app which can make the process easier though, besides allowing others to upload videos or comment on videos. You can check it out on the Demo: https://www.ultimatewb.org/demo/video/1/sample-video-1 

or in a live website, on Gym Chat: https://www.gymchat.com/artistic-gymnastics-tv 

Regarding your domain name, you can register your domain name through UltimateWB at https://www.ultimatewb.com/domain-names-web-hosting#domains - it is $20/year for the typical domain name extensions. If you want a different domain name extension, please let us know for a price check. You can also register your domain name through another company, and then just update the nameservers to the UltimateWB web hosting name servers that we provide to you. Please note that some companies such as Cloudflare do not allow you to update nameservers.

So, in summary, your costs would be the web hosting, software, and domain name.

The alternative would be Cloud hosting, which includes the software with the hosting, but your costs is higher in the long run that way: https://www.ultimatewb.com/cloud-website-builder 

Hope this helps!
