New website hosting costs
New Website Costs
More and more people want their own website. Whether it is a personal website, on which they can express their thoughts. Or a website for their business, on which they can gain new customers, explain exactly what they have to offer or increase brand awareness. The possibilities with a website are endless. Who knows, maybe in 10 or 20 years, everyone will have their own website, just as almost everyone now uses social media. But unlike social media, website hosting is not free. Hence, here we answer the question "What will a new website actually cost?"
What costs should you take into account?
When you want to set up a website, you have to take into account a number of different costs. These can be divided into two different categories, each of which can also be subdivided. The new website costs are as follows:
Mandatory costs
Optional costs
If you want to install a website, there are a number of costs you have to incur - these are the so-called mandatory costs. To start with, you have to buy a domain name. This generally costs between € 2.50 and € 20, depending on the extension used. Important to know is that these are the new costs, if someone else has already bought the domain name you want, you will have to negotiate directly with the owner. The price will then be as high as what he asks for it. In some cases this can amount to millions of dollars (think of the sale of toys.com or internet.com in 2009).
In addition to the purchase of the domain name, there are also recurring costs that must be included in the total picture of new website costs. Think of the web hosting costs per year are charged and the renewal of the domain name (this is done annually). These costs depend on the hosting package you use and which hosting provider you are with. But in general, web hosting costs between € 36 and € 144 per month for starting websites that do not need a lot of extras. At MijnHostingPartner.nl you have everything together for € 23.94 per year, domain registration and hosting are standard in there.
So - how much is a new website going to cost?
Now that we've covered all the mandatory costs, we can finally answer the question "How much does a new website cost?" To give a clear answer to this question, we first need to list a few things:
Domain name: one time € 15
Hosting: average package - € 6 per month
Renewing your domain name - € 15 per year
At MijnHostingPartner.nl : € 23,94 per year
When we add this up you can assume that the minimum a website will cost per year is about € 23,94. And let's face it, for the chance to share your thoughts or business with the whole world, that's nothing, right?
