Best Hosting for a Large News Website $12–$15 First Year Budget

alwaysrank · Monday at 7:37 PM

Hey alll! I’m preparing to launch a large Urdu news website built with WordPress, the Kadence theme, and Kadence Blocks Pro. The site is not live yet, but I expect it to grow beyond 1,000 posts and pages over time. It will publish news content I’m looking for reliable hosting suggestions for the first year with a budget of approximately $12–$15 for the one-year plan. I understand that this price may mainly cover an introductory promotion, so please also mention the renewal price and any important limits after the first year.

It is a tight budget. You may find a few hosting providers within this budget, but they are likely to be very slow. Just Google it and you should find some options.

$12 per year "Starter hosting"

This is a very low budget that can get you, at most, some kind of a promotional deal on shared hosting for the first year.
May look into the deals section here.

It's basically less than a break even price for what one could offer any sort of a solid service.
And after the promo period expires, you're about to get hit with a much more expensive auto-renewal.

If you plan to get meaningful traffic and make ad-revenue from the website, you should definitely look into a host that will be able to offer you a VPS or dedicated options / ideally billed on a monthly basis.

Yes, I did find a few providers but I’m not really confident about trusting them. I’m not sure how their support will be, especially because I’ve already had a bad experience with a hosting provider before Everything was almost finalized with one provider, but in the end they couldn’t provide the amount of monthly bandwidth I need within my budget

Thank you so much for your advice. I think I’ll wait for a little while, save some more money, and then buy a good hosting plan from a reliable provider.

At $12–15 for the whole year, I’d only expect basic shared hosting. Fine to start, but once traffic grows you’ll probably need to upgrade. Renewal price matters more than the intro deal.

honestly if you are doing a news site with wordpress and kadence, cheap $12 a year hosting is going to crash the moment you get more than a few people on the site at once. its not even just about the bandwidth limits, its the cpu and ram limits they put on those cheap shared plans. wordpress database queries will just bottleneck. saving up is definitely the right move here... aim for at least $5 to $10 a month so you can get something semi-decent that wont constantly throw 508 resource limit errors.
