Another good one to be carful with are website companies that offers you a free Domain Name and Hosting plan with your new design. I am not saying that the latter is bad because that would be sure ways for a website company to ruin their name, but do your research.
Different website requires different hosting package. A small website with five webpage or an ecommerce store will not require the same amount of storage space and bandwidth as a website with 80 pages, nor would the traffic be the same. In addition, a website that uses an online form would require scripting support such as PHP/ ASP/ColdFusion/ Perl-CGI/ and so on.
From one hosting provider to another they have their own way of selling a hosting package. Some advertise different size hosting plans that can vary from $1.95 a month to $99.00 a month and more. All depends on the type of website you have. The average price for a basic small business website varies from one provider to another. Expect to pay anywhere from $3.95 to $9.95 a month depending on the plan you need plus your Domain Name and set up fee where applicable. Yes! Some will even have an extra set-up fee while others are free.
As part of some website hosting promotion package, some provider even offers you a free domain name when you sign up for 18 months to two years, which is always good but remember stay away from the really cheap hosting plan.
Domain Name can also be purchased form a hosting provider. Well it’s more like leasing or renting a domain name because of the recurring yearly fee.
Of course, you have the option to pay for more than one year at the time. The average price for the average website Domain Name would be from $5.95 to about $15.00 dollars.
Large corporate companies can pay up to thousands for the right premium name.
