what Price for hosting?
- Thread starter kalo
- Start date
I think that'a too broad of a question, kalo. Cost is relevant to the value of the specific site. If I have one main site and a number of microsites, their values will dramatically vary. If my site is a vendor portal through which all RFPs, workorders and invoices transit - that's a high value site. If it's a mom and pop start up - static informational site - maybe only a couple of dollars a month to host would be fine.
It really depends on the type of site. If you don't mind occasional downtime or sometimes slow service a cheapo host will do. Not always but often cheap hosting means cheap servers like older processors & less RAM...those type servers are out there for $59 a month where a good new generation server will cost $300-$600 a month depending on if you add support options. So take a $60 server and put 300 $3 accounts and you have a healthy profit but it won't support a busy forum or such. :beer:
To me the main thing is if your site is business or fun.
If it is business, don't skimp. $25 would handle a LARGE e-commerce site or VERY busy forum with lots of ads. The $10 + or - a dollar or 2 range is generally a good starting point for a business. Make sure they have free backups and a money-back trial period, Published uptime & speed checks are a good sign too.
Then call them. See if the person you get speaks your language and handles any questions quickly & with knowledge...then they could handle the type support needs you are likely to have; as well as the requirements of the host for your type site...If it all adds up you probably have a good host for you (as good as you can for first time out)

I think for starter packages $3.95 is high enough to pay for the server and overhead and get customers in the door. A started package should be designed to get customers started in hosting, new sites and etc. Most new customers, new at all to hosting are looking for a good price not a matrix of features they are not going to use. They just need the basics.

I usually compare deals finding the most reasonable with the best corellation between the price and offered specs. It is not the certain price diapason, but the complex thing called cost-efficiency and reasnability where the hosts experience and reviews are included.
The only problem on it you are unable to taste the web hosting account beforehand.... :smash:
