Does the annual subscription cost for Xara Designer Pro+ include any web hosting?

(I think this is what Acorn was asking in the previous thread - and the answer is no, but I thought I'd double check!)

Reason for asking: I’m not a website builder (as yet) but have always planned to build a simple portfolio website. As such, I already have a domain name and pay about a fiver (£5 GBP) a month for hosting, which at the moment just sits there.

I was thinking (a rare thing!) if I cancel my existing hosting and put my funds towards a Xara Pro+ subscription, the current offer would be very good value.

Or am I actually thinking about this all the wrong way and not understanding the online possibilities of using Xara Cloud for want I want to do, ie create and publish a simple portfolio gallery website?

Thanks

Jono, the Xara Cloud offering allows you to "publish" a webiste into https://shared.xara.com/ followed by a gibberish reference. It will not allow you to link in your domain name. There are free hosting services that allow such a linkage but I cannot give you a specific.
