How Much Should Website Hosting Cost?

At Digital Media Guys, we come across businesses overpaying for website hosting every single week. Many companies are unknowingly spending far too much for a service that should be affordable, reliable, and secure.

For standard website hosting, we charge from £20 + VAT per month, depending on the size and complexity of the site. This includes regular security updates, website maintenance, and an SSL certificate as standard—everything your website needs to run smoothly. Yet, we’ve seen businesses being charged five to ten times this amount for no justifiable reason.

What is Website Hosting?

Website hosting is the space where your website’s files are stored and accessed online. Every website needs hosting to be live and functional. Without it, your website simply wouldn’t be visible to anyone.

Good website hosting should provide:
✅ Secure storage for your website’s files
✅ An SSL certificate for secure browsing and better SEO rankings
✅ Regular security updates to protect against cyber threats
✅ Fast loading speeds to enhance user experience
✅ Reliable uptime so your website remains accessible

The Cost of Website Hosting – Are You Paying Too Much?

One of the biggest issues we see is businesses being charged excessive fees for basic hosting services. A recent client came to us after paying £150 per month for their hosting. After reviewing their website, we found they were getting nothing extra—just a standard brochure website with no advanced features.

We took over their hosting and are now providing the exact same service for just £20 per month. That’s a £130 monthly saving for absolutely no loss in quality, security, or performance.

Some might argue we should charge more, but we see no reason why standard website hosting should cost more than £20 per month. Of course, for larger websites, such as those with e-commerce functionality, extensive databases, or high storage requirements, the cost will be higher. However, for a small brochure-style website, anything significantly above £20 per month is unnecessary overcharging.
