<b>The "free site builder" is a roach motel</b>
They told you: "Use our easy builder, no code needed."
What you weren't told: that builder outputs proprietary markup, not portable HTML or a standard CMS. The day you outgrow them, there's no export — you rebuild from scratch somewhere else.
Lock-in is rarely a contract clause anymore. It's an architecture choice. Proprietary builders, custom control panels, and "managed" stacks with no SSH all exist to raise your switching cost.
Follow the money: a host that makes leaving cheap has to compete on quality. A host that makes leaving expensive doesn't.
Reality: "easy to start" and "easy to leave" are opposites, and they only advertise the first one.
