Cheap Web Hosting?

“There is no such thing as cheap web hosting,” said my friend in a less than friendly way. We were talking about options for his organization’s website and he seemed determined to rule out any possible alternatives to what he is doing now despite his request that we talk about other possibilities.

Do you know why he thought there was no such thing as cheap web hosting? He has been working with a private contractor/consultant who not only charges to create and maintain the website, but is making big bucks by charging for every little add-on and accessory. My friend was in no way open to discussing streaming video because the additional bandwidth would put his costs through the roof.

The truth is that cheap web hosting is available despite what you may have been told. You just have to know where to look for it. At Web Hosting Metro plans start at $3.95 per month. And, don’t think they are going to lure you in with low prices and then jack them up with a series of “you need this also” items. In fact, their Power Plan for e-commerce sites is less than half of what my friend is paying for the basics, with no bells and whistles. Check them out.
