Cheaper Web Hosting

70% Cheaper than the Competition

Our latest comparative view of the market shows that our Home Web Hosting Plan is more than 70% cheaper than the nearest competitor. We took an average client with the following requirements ...

  • 1 primary domain, 1 parked domain, 1 addon domain, 2 subdomains
  • 110mb of webspace (40mb for the website and 70mb for the email)
  • 4 databases, 6 scripts, shared SSL and 20 smtp/pop3 mailboxes

Taking this average spec, we visited three market leading hosting companies and compared the cost of their hosting solution with that of our own. The results were startling ...

Poldings Limited

Total Spend = £50 year

With our "Home" plan clients have access to all the professional features for a single low price.

1 and 1

Total Spend = £179 year
To have 4 databases you would have to upgrade multiple times to their "Business Pro" plan which will set you back a very large £179 per year.

FastHosts

Total Spend = £373 year
You would need to buy 4 databases at £25 each per year (£100). You would also need to buy 15 additional mailboxes which cost £14.99 each per year (£225). On top of that you have to pay the base plan price of £47 and you still haven't managed to add on your other domains. All in all, you end up paying a whopping £373 per year.

Actually, we couldn't find the answers on their site because it just wasn't very "easy".
