Last month, SiteGround announced that they were raising the renewal rates on their web hosting plans. You can still purchase a new plan at their discounted rates, but the increase was a bit of a surprise. Now, this month InMotion Hosting has changed the pricing on their Business Web Hosting plans. The have raised their prices slightly, and they are no longer offering a 3 year term. You can now sign up initially for either 1 or 2 years. As with SiteGround, the new prices at InMotion are not excessively higher, and the quality web hosting your receive at both companies is certainly worth it in my opinion, but it is noteworthy that after years of staying the same, we are now starting to see price increases in the industry.
However, that definitely doesn’t mean there aren’t some great bargains on web hosting that you can still find. If you’re looking for an affordable web hosting plan for your summer project website, here are 10 Bargain Priced Web Hosting Plans you can still take advantage of.
GreenGeeks
