Budget Web Hosting Comparison

I’ve always said that price should not be your primary concern when it comes to web hosting. However, I know that many people are on a tight budget and would like to get the cheapest hosting deal available. Fortunately, I’ve found that it is possible to get quality web hosting while keeping the cost down.

Let’s take a look at two of the better known web hosting companies that offer budget web hosting. For our purposes here, I would consider budget hosting to be any web hosting plan that costs $2 or less per month.

iPage

Certainly one of the budget hosting options you should consider is iPage Hosting. Having been an iPage customer for years, I can attest they have one of the best web hosting bargain plans. iPage’s hosting plan is a great combination of being easy for newbies to get started yet packed with enough features for a lot of growth down the line. So, if you need to expand your website in the future, chances are you’ll already have the tools you need with your iPage account.

For some time, iPage has offered very affordable web hosting. However with the increased competition amongst web hosts, their deals have become even sweeter. Their basic sale price is $1.99 mo. But I would encourage you to frequently check their site as they often have even cheaper sales of $1.89 mo. or even as low as $1 mo. See their latest sale price by clicking here.

1&1 Hosting

1&1 Hosting offers one of the widest arrays of web hosting services. While many of you have probably heard of or seen their MyWebsite package—geared towards those looking for easy setup–the company also sells business, dedicated, virtual, and cloud hosting services—in addition to domain name and ecommerce services.

While 1&1 Hosting’s budget plan ($1.99 mo.) is more limited than say iPage, you do get some different features such as NetObjects Fusion for web design and 1&1 SiteAnalytics. And, because 1&1 has a large menu of services, there are plenty of options for you later should you require more features.
