Hello!
I am planing to build a dropshipping store using wordpress woocomerce and alidropship.
Since i have no experience with it before, i need some advice for a cheap webhosting.
I already bought my domain, but i cant choose the right hosting plan like what size of the storage or bandwidth should i go for.
I have found some topics here that starts from 10$ a year with 1Gb disk space and 10Gb transfer.
But i am not sure if this plan fits for my website.(since it is my first site, i dont think it will get much traffic...).
Thank you

Well, like you said... It depends on traffic. Start with a smaller package, which is also cheaper.
But, not too cheap. It should be working all the time. And later, you can always upgrade, right?
If there's a need and the website takes off crazily :)
 
When i see someone whos wondering should he pay 10$ ot 15$ for hosting, i'm like - WTF....

If u sell 1 pair of your shoes, 1 of ur watches, if u downgrade ur phone you'll probably end up with 200-500$ to invest in a projects ;]

Check reviews, ask sellers questions.
You want a plan that can handle spikes in traffic, that has great uptime and customer service.

Check https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/hosting.196/.
 
Remember, you get what you pay for. So don't look cheap only. Check reliability, reputation, support, uptime, site loading speed etc.
 
I want to add here:

- Don't go cheap with your future money site, unless you don't believe in your success :)
 
Namecheap has excellent hosting packages which are pretty fast and not as crowded as some other cheap hosts.
 
try to find some hosting specialized in WordPress sites, also check Hostwind is a partner of this forum
 
My advice is don't go for cheap option rather you should find some reliable hosting. Site loading speed makes a huge difference in your online success specially for e-commerce stores.
 
Since you are just starting, I would recommend you going with the lowest plan available that would allow you to comfortably set up and launch your website. Feel free to upgrade your plan on the same host when traffic starts increasing. From my experience, I can assure you there exist a number of very economical web hosts that are way better than many of the expensive ones. Just do proper due diligence including at the least reading user reviews and verifying stats for the host especially the uptime and you'll do fine.
 
shopify is very useful for this... and when you start getting major traffic and have good income coming in, you can upgrade your hosting to accomodate the bandwidth needs
