Hosted on a single VPS, each client pays 300€ per year. While some VPSs serve a limited number of “big” clients, others could serve more than 70 modest websites that bring in a profit annually.

I’ve tried a few web hosting services for my small business and here are my top picks I found to be very cost-effective:

  1. Bluehost:
  • Price: Starts around $2.95/month.
  • Features: Free domain for the first year, free SSL certificate, and 24/7 support.
  • Compared to Expensive Options: It’s cheaper but still reliable. Expensive options might offer faster speeds and more advanced security, but Bluehost is great for beginners.
  1. Hostinger:
  • Price: Starts at $1.39/month.
  • Features: Free SSL, weekly backups, and a website builder.
  • Compared to Expensive Options: Super budget-friendly. More expensive hosts might have better uptime and more resources, but Hostinger is a steal for the price.
  1. SiteGround:
  • Price: Around $3.99/month.
  • Features: Daily backups, free SSL, and great customer service.
  • Compared to Expensive Options: Slightly more expensive than Bluehost and Hostinger, but you get better support and speed. Higher-end options could offer even more features, but SiteGround is very solid.

In my experience, these options work well for small businesses. They might not have all the bells and whistles of pricier services, but they get the job done without breaking the bank.
