Get a single dedicated server at Hetzner or Scaleway. with about 64 gigs of ram and 1tb SSD. will cost about $50-$100/mon. Should be good to handle thousands of small static websites and a couple hundred wordpress sites with ease.

Actually being a web design company, I would recommend you to get a reseller package, as it will allow you more freedom, where you can create hosting accounts for your clients and can easily put up some margin on each account too and keep your brand name that you do provide web hosting services too, so rather than looking for a shared hosting, I would recommend you to get a reseller package in the start and later can move on to a VPS or dedicated server, if your hosting client base or needs increase.

I recommend getting small VPS account with control panel like WHM. That would be the easiest way to separate and manage all the accounts.

Is there any good recommendations of web hosting for $25 /annual 1 year plan (flat price), more specific:
$25 annual plan flat price
cpanel, free auto lets encrypt ssl
good live chat support
good stable performance like can handle 3-5000 visitors a day without any downtime issues?
and offers additional services like dedicated ip?
Hostxnow plans have a fair annual flat price and they are fast. Most hosters are above the $30 annual price range.
Gohomedaddy , I checked my GD site yesterday night have an 1 year old domain on it not use it, deactivated their automatic renewal.
Browsing a little bit trough their dashboard and must say I be shocked, their webhositng plans and wordpress plans too, hallelujah are they expensive!
Deluxe plan $7,99 but only the first year, renewal is hefty+ your domain renewal, + your annual MS 365 plan.....+ your ssl.....holy shit you are paying mor than $300 a year for such standard webhosting.
My advise is with GD you can use them as domain registrar or when you like their easy to setup MS 365 essential plan you can do email marketing with, it's easier to setup than getresponse or mailchimp DNS records on your site/domain registrar......(hell of technical frickling)
But not more- stay away from their locked in price renewal scheme only domain or when needed + ms 365.
This is really a shady business company, ok so sad not the only today.

I believe that siteground is the best hosting company for now
there are some other option but siteground still the best and you can search about it in YouTube

Good to know that you have a small web development company. Being a web developer you should purchase business hosting plane from hosting company e.g. godaddy, hostinger, namecheap etc.

It can get out of hands really quickly! I would say, don’t bother with the hosting. Instead, ask clients to provide you with the hosting. You are developing websites, you don’t need to provide servers.
Example how you can get caught up: Let’s say your client has a very high trafficked site, or has competitors ddosing him/her. In that case, if you have a single server, all of your clients will go offline. That won’t be good for your reputation.

Shocking annual /2 years Hosting plans renewal prices today, not only on Godaddy, renewal prices up to 3-5x times.....
Avoid these scammers guys. Is with many of them; Hostgator, Godaddy, Siteground, many many more...
I read yesterday on a web article (correct me if I'm wrong here) that when you disable domain renewal on Godaddy and you not cancel your whole account +domain, they charge you $80 for this, but I not know if this is true never heard of this before.
So use GD only with domains or when you like their MS365 email marketing plans (you can use it for email marketing !!!) they are easy to setup, or go elsewhere and transfer your domain to Porkbun or Namecheap or someone.......
Think again see screenshot below, their Deluxe plan is the first year at €7.13 month (here the germany website ( prices in €) you get the essential plan 1 year for free get free ssl the first year.
So your renewal price after 1 year will be like that:
€171,22
€ 99.00 your ssl
€ 20.00 your com domain renewal
€ 72.00. your €6 month MS 365 essential plan (or they charge you 3x times that you see they offer 3 free email accounts in the screenshot?)
That will be €263 you must paying for another 1 year renewal !
All that for a standard webhosting with 1GB RAM +1 CPU standard ressources and no live chat support.
Most web hosting providers give you better server ressources + live chat suppot+ free cpanel lets encrypt auto renewal ssl for $45-90 annual cycle !
Their prices are 3x times higher than most web hosting providers charging. Many of them are like godaddy today big scammers.
Yes maybe their marketing tool is good to make great reels, visuals, but you get these tools for $6-10 a monthly billing or you can do that in canva pro without need to be locked into an expensive web hosting plans.
or when you are so proud of GD you can using monthly billing cycle you will be on the mroe safe side with this, that means when you have 1-2 year plan with GD they can change their prices within that period, so on monthly billing cycle you can cancel immedietly your webhost plan when they changing the prices.
