The cost of starting and running a website can be broken down into four main categories.

Web hosting costs can vary depending on the type of web hosting you need for your specific website. Web hosting can be broken down into several categories. I’ve included links to the prices for the different types of web hosting as prices can change to ensure you get the most up-to-date info

Shared Hosting

VPS Hosting

Ask your web developer what type of web hosting is best for your website. If they are always recommending the cheapest shared hosting package out there for each project you should seriously question their competency.

Each website has different hosting needs. A website that is expected to handle requests from thousands of users needs different resources than the one that wants to stream high-definition videos.

One web application can be CPU intensive while another can be RAM intensive or require massive amounts of storage. Talk to a web hosting expert of your web developer for the best advice on web hosting for your situation.

Web Development Fee

The cost to develop a website will also range greatly depending on the kind of website you need. At skyhost, we believe every project is different, like building a house. We, therefore, don’t believe in boilerplate rate cards.

Cost of Goods Sold

This cost will depend on your business model. If you are selling physical products with your e-commerce store you will have inventory, warehousing, and shipping costs that other types of websites might not.

Maintenance Fee

You might want to update your website from time to time, and add new features or functions. The fee your web developer will charge will be dependent on what you need to be done. You can request a quote from our sales rep who will be more than happy to send you a free website maintenance quote.
