No need to go with a fee plan if you need more than 2. Just set up WordPress (one-click setup comes with almost all hosting accounts), download the free Launchpad theme and activate it. Takes about 2 minutes. Then you can use your own domain name and not a subdomain on “comingsoooon.com”

Definitely one to put in the toolbox.
