Free website

I am interested in this also knowing what the downside is. How much is microsoft office subscription ? Is this a truly free offer . I am about to try to get a website or pay someone to do it.

Yes I suppose they could in the future charge, but I don't think they will. The reason for this I think is, they are promoting better websites which they charge for, so this is a taster..anyway I have had a look at the "learn more" page and well here it is.
