    The short answer is yes you can build a website without hosting. However, if you are a beginner I would not recommend it, as setting up your computer to work as a hosting server can be very technical.

    yes you can, but for an online presence you will need a hosting of some kind. you can also selfhost on your local pc, but that is a bad idea
    if you are beginner, I would recommend you to go for an affordable hosting like AEserver.

    There are a number of ways to create a website without hosting it. One way is to use a free website builder, such as Wix or Weebly. These websites allow you to create a website with minimal input required. Another option is to use an online platform such as Instagram or Tumblr. These platforms allow you to create a website from scratch, but they also require that you pay a monthly fee. If you want to host your website yourself, there are a number of options available. One option is to use a hosting service, such as Bluehost, GoDaddy, or AccuWebHosting. These services offer affordable plans that allow you to host your website on their servers.

    You can create a website or code it offline in your local environment.
    But for production use, I strongly recommend you to grab a server or at least a shared hosting plan which will cost very little.

    Yes, it is possible to have a website developed but not hosted at the start. In fact, you could use software like XAMPP, WAMP, MAMP, or Local, especially when you use WordPress, to create and test your website before it is hosted.

    Nevertheless, if you intend to make your website accessible through the internet by other people, then web hosting is what you will need in order for it to be live online.

    Therefore, for development and testing purposes, hosting is not necessary. But in case of having a live website, hosting is crucial.
