Website Hosting Costs

Gary Ashton Posted 21 Nov 2024 - By Gary Ashton

Website Hosting Costs keep increasing, but depending on your type of website, did you know you can host it for free?

There are several options to host your website depending on the type of website and your expected traffic volume.

You need to be realistic about the numbers of visitors vs the amount of income vs the cost.

There is no point in spending your hard earned cash on an expensive service that you are not going to use…with that in mind lets start comparing!

How can Boodiebear help?

• Provide a Free SSL cert (an essential security certificate)
with no time limits

• Setup your custom email address including a catchall email address
for €15 per YEAR access via an APP

This is just a small sample of the many suppliers that you can choose from

If you are looking for a simple site (created by us) with a few pages (even with many pages) then we can organise for your site to be hosted on Googles webservers for FREE, including a FREE SSL cert (an essential security certificate).

You can even use your custom domain. We can include appointment booking for FREE too.

What do I pay for then…you pay for the setup of all these services, no maintainance should be required, although as these are external services there can be no guaranteee of changes.

Web building and web design.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes but we do not provide the interfaces that the more expensive solutions provide.
