You will also receive your own WordPress site, hosted on my server, to use and practice with throughout the day…and you will also have access to them for another twelve months with no extra cost. After 12 months, if you wish to continue using the site you will just need to renew the domain name and the hosting account. Please see my Website Hosting & Installation page for pricing details
