mazoku Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I need some cheap hosting for a bunch of new sites without traffic for now. The most important part is the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattstyles Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 There are quite a few topics already on this, try searching to get more info. If you're happy setting up your own server then DigitalOcean are probably cheapest although an Amazon Micro instance is also pretty cheap (I'd guess the other big boys like Rackspace and Azure have similar cheap entry level offerings). If you're worried about setting up the server there are a wealth of info on how to do this, Digital Ocean have several very good and detailed instructions on this and its remarkably easy to do, just remember to only install what you need on the box i.e. if you're just serving static files then just install apache or nginx (or whatever), dont install stuff like Java, PHP, Node etc unless you need them. prvi_treti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciro Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 If you really want to go cheap, you could use 000webhost which provides free hosting. It's not the most stable thing ever, but it's free. But if you're going for a paid service, I don't recommend using anything that doesn't follow the "pay for what you use" model. For a domain I recommend namecheap, you can buy one for 0.99 that lasts for an entire year if you don't mind using uncommon top-level domains like .pw.

Linode is a good choice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labrat.mobi Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Google's firebase offers free hosting.. 10 GB bandwidth / month. Only drawback is that, you need to deploy whole website every time you change one file. scheffgames 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tua Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 You could also use Github Pages if you don't expect your website to grow and if you don't need a back end. It's completely free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
