Jimdo is a web hosting service, owned and operated by Jimdo GmbH, that allows users to build a website. It provides users with a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) web authoring tool, so users do not need to know HTML (hypertext markup language) language to create a website. Users create their website and Jimdo hosts the website on their servers.

Jimdo was started in February 2007 and provides three types of web authoring and hosting services: JimdoFree, JimdoPro, and JimdoBusiness. With JimdoFree, users can build a website and host it on Jimdo servers for free. Their website address ends with ".jimdo.com" and there are advertisements on their web pages. JimdoPro and JimdoBusiness provide additional services over JimdoFree, including hosting of the user's domain name, additional storage space for their website and no advertisements.

Many users utilize Jimdo services, resulting in over 30 million websites being built with Jimdo as of 2022.
