Cheapest webhosting?

[ShiningWarrior]

Hey, currently looking for the cheapest web hosting to host one-page affiliate site.

Whats the cheapest one for that?

NameCheap if you're looking for annual plan.
InterServer if you want hosting only for a month or two (they offer monthly payment)

Try awardspace. I got my plan for 1.99/year a few months ago and it works fine.

Can a user get domains for $1.99 multiple times or only time like GoDaddy?

Unfortunately no.

ServerHosh & award space are both cheap and good for small websites.

You can get it only once and only if you buy hosting for three months. However, there are coupons to buy first month hosting for 1 cent.

So, total cost of three months hosting + domain name will be $12.

I'm chatting with a support and he says minimum is 6 months to get the $1.99 price for the .com domain.

I have written a complete article about this domain name discount and personally tested this several time.

The discounted domain works for 3-months web hosting. You can try it by going through the purchase process.

Amazon S3 costs like 0.05€ per month for static sites depending on your traffic

Suppose per day I get around 100 visitors. So, how much do you think it will be per month for me?

I've always preferred a VPS, even if it's the smallest and cheapest one you can find. Never have had a good experience with any web host.

You could just buy a cheap vps (e.g. hyonix, I use them too) and host all of your domains over there. Shared hosting is very very unreliable for anything serious.
If you host 10 websites in a 5$ vps, the cost is like 0.5$/month per domain which is nuts lol.

Another good thing about vpses is the fact that you can scale the hardware easily if you need more resources out of your server. The shared hosting will just say "go f urself" if one of your sites become popular.

Thanks for the info mate. But what kind of technical knowledge do I need to have to host domains on VPS? Because I never used VPS in my life.

It does take a bit of info to get started but it's not rocket science. Most of the time, you will just copy paste commands. I am on mobile now, so I can't really point you out to tutorials. I will list those out for you once I am back online from my laptop.

Ok so here we go..

Q. What Operating System to install?
A. There are quite a few options here but the most popular according to what I have seen are Ubuntu and CentOS. I personally prefer Ubuntu. You could use CentOS too but the commands for installing the system will change if you do. So, I suggest that you go with Ubuntu too.

Q. How to login to the server? How to upload via FTP?
A. Most of the times, the VPS providers give you root SSH login details. You use a SSH client e.g. puTTY to login to the server. To login, install puTTY and open the software. In the Host Name textbox type root@your_server_ip, leave port (22) and connection type (SSH) to default and click on Open. You will get a login screen where you have to enter your password ( don't panic, it will be not visible what you are typing.. but it's going there) and login. I suggest you watch some basic linux commands tutorials on youtube before your start.

For FTP, you can download Filezilla, or your favorite FTP program. You could login as root with the same details but I recommend creating another FTP user who only has access to your www folder. Here's how to do that.

Q. How to install Apache, Mysql, php myadmin etc in Ubuntu?
A. Simple, just copy paste commands from e.g. this tutorial from Digital Ocean.

Q. How to host multiple domains?
A. You have two options here. If you prefer the gui way, you can install webmin. Here's a tutorial how to use webmin for doing so. If you want to do it old fashioned way here's a tutorial.


Let me know if you need anything else

Probably between around 1€ / month. Their pricing table is a bit confusing but they are very cheap even for high traffic sites and outperform VPS' in load speeds and price. Cheap VPS plans can't handle a ton of traffic. S3 is limited to static websites, so if you need a content management system you need to install worpress or something else locally and use a plugin like wpstatic.

BlueHost is the best and the cheapest web hosting service.
