What is the difference between an independent website and a self-built website?

An independent website refers to an independent website. Merchants have independent domain names and independent servers, and then put the products to be sold on the website for sale. What is the difference between an independent website and a self-built website?

1. What is an independent website?

Independent stations were originally used as a means of platform differentiation to communicate with industries such as Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba, to establish their own sales channels, and to have their own platforms, namely foreign trade websites.

2. What is a self-built website?

In fact, self-built website can be simply understood as building your own website, or using the platform of a third-party professional company (such as UESHOP) to build a website.

3. The difference between independent station and self-built station:

Cost: There is no server fee and development fee for self-built stations. Generally speaking, users pay hundreds of yuan or more per year. The development costs of independent radio stations are very high, so they need to purchase their own servers or virtual hosts, which need to be updated every year.

Technical requirements: The technical requirements for self-built websites are simple. It only requires simple web page operations, image processing and article editing skills to create a beautiful self-built website; independent websites require specialized technicians to be responsible for coding, server maintenance, etc.

Flexibility: Self-service website construction basically meets all the functions of the enterprise website and can achieve normal user access. Independent website construction can produce more complex functions, such as customized needs, online transactions, etc. After the independent website is developed, the general operator cannot make any functional changes, and the interface is fixed. If modifications are required, you need to find the developer to pay the adjustment fee.

Post-maintenance: Self-service site construction requires almost no professional maintenance personnel, and a certain fee (usually several hundred yuan) is paid every year. Independent site construction requires server fees and maintenance fees, which usually range from several hundred to tens of thousands, depending on the size of the website.

To sum up, the difference between independent websites and self-built websites lies in the different modes of website development and construction. They are essentially the same, both of which require merchants to build their own websites and market them themselves.
