How much did you pay for a domain and host?

[lawrencegordon]

Hi everyone,

Is $65 enough for a domain and a hosting for using over months or years?

Any advice

Thanks

That's pretty good when you consider its around $5 per month... I assume its shared hosting account... That's about the average cost for medium level shared hosting... In addition I would check out how many domains you can add to your hosting account (incl. use of mysql database)....

You could get pretty close to that. Domain registration is usually around $10/year. Sometimes you will see specials with a discounted or even free if you signup for hosting.

Web hosting for around $5/month is not too hard to find. You can find $1/mo hosting, but I would not suggest this. Everyone likes getting stuff for cheap, but remember, hosting companies have to make money too. If they are only charging you $1 mo, that will hardly pay for the server space you are using. Now ask yourself, if they are not making any real profit, can they afford to provide quality services and support? :blink:

paying $65 for a month? move on dude, because you are paying probably the most as far as shared hosting is concerned.

And domain name comes free with the plan you will choose, just correct your information and do some research.

thanks

He never said he's paying anything right now, he was asking how much $65 would get him in terms of value for hosting.

Key words "lowest" and "iPage". $65 per year is decent price. I would definitely take Prokas advice.

For a new website, shared hosting is probably sufficient. But as your traffic starts to grow, so will your hosting needs and budget. While shared hosting can be as low as $50 per year, moving to a VPS (virtual private server) or a dedicated server can easily bump up the yearly price tag to over $1,000. [Edited by Moderator]
