What Exactly Is SiteRubix?
SiteRubix is a powerful hosting and publishing platform originally created in 2007 to accompany the affiliate marketing training at Wealthy Affiliate. (Highly recommended if you're starting your blog to make money with it)
Here's my full breakdown of the Site Rubix website builder for full info.
SiteRubix is 100% free and you get 100% access to all the free themes, plugins and the same benefits as a WordPress blog.
Your SiteRubix blog is yours to own forever (or until you decide to delete it) and you can use it to set up a blog on any topic you wish. It will also remain totally free.
One website builder like SiteRubix is Wix and on your content they display 2 advertisements for Wix itself, making your website look cheap and doesn't give you full control over the content and look of your blog.
SiteRubix WILL NOT EVER place any ads on your website.
As well as free domain registration you get 24 hour support, site health monitoring and daily backups to name a few.
