#pages, file size/transfers, features and complexity . . .

All these factors play a part in hosting provider cost structures. Fortunately, many offer complete packages with plenty of options and flexibility for the small business website.

    WOW, where to begin. Not too long ago, only a few hosting providers would merit a reference from us. Now . . . host providers are "crawling out of the woodwork"; the good, the bad and the ugly, so to speak.
    Our best option is to list the hosts that we've had good experience with. While perfection doesn't exist, each has provided a simplicity and reliabity factor for our clients worthy of listing. There are many, many others.
    New ones surface daily, what's important to remember is "uptime" (your website available to viewers) in terms of longevity. Touting a 99.9% uptime for two years is not quite the same as ten years of 99.9% nearly flawless service.
    Personally, we've relied on the same provider for twelve years with one "down incident": Cedant Web Solutions. It's your choice, we've no monetary incentive from any host; all are inexpensive: starting at $2 month.

Domain Name Registration Costs

Talk about competitive, when every hosting provider offers domain name registration . . . you've got ridiculously low costs.

    How about FREE? Registration and yearly renewal fees were in the $100's just a few years ago. Now some hosting providers offer free domain name registrations for up to five domains when you utilize their host services.
    Can't find a "special"? We'll handle it for you. Generally, initial domain costs begin at $6-$7 per year. Dependent upon the complexity of your website requirments, domain costs can exceed $40-$50 per year for multiple names directed to your web (url).
