Just a decade ago, setting up a website was a very expensive
business. One had to pay hundreds of dollars booking a domain name, and a
particular amount per month for the hosting plan, and of course, the
charges of a web master and a web programmer if they are hiring someone
else. However, since the past few years, making websites has become
quite cheap. Cheap hosting prices have made it possible for anyone with
computer and internet knowledge to make professional looking websites.
Here are three reasons how you can save money on setting up a website
with cheap hosting.
Book a creative domain name: We need to understand
that eighty percent of the names that you would want for your site are
taken, and the price for buying them – if they are available – can be
anything between three to five thousand dollars. Basically, it all
depends on how the domain name owner is feeling that day. Therefore, try
to come up with some creative options for the name that is not
available, instead of sticking to your guns about a particular domain
name.
Use Shared Hosting: Shared Hosting may be the single
most revolutionary concept to hit the business of web hosting and
website making. With shared hosting, you do not pay for the entire
server, but the server space is basically divided into several people on
a piece meal basis. Therefore, you pay only a percentage of the total
cost that would be charged for renting the server. There are several web
hosts today that offer shared hosting. A simple search with your
favorite search engine will give you information about all the web hosts
that offer shared hosting.
Take the Multiple Domain Plan: Believe us when we
tell you that making websites is addictive. Once you have set up a
website, you will learn about all the other niches that you can set up
your sites for, and you would want to explore those aspects too. If you
have a plan that lets you host multiple domains, you can simple book the
domain names and then redirect the domain name to your original domain
name server. Your web host should be only too happy to help you in this
process.
These are the three important steps that you should keep in mind if
you wish to save some money while setting up a website or a blog.
