Why cheap web hosting is better (Bonus: 4 awesome coupons)

By Laurence MacNaughton

Creating a website is challenging enough without the hassle of high fees. Some companies will try to sell you on the idea that their extra bells and whistles justify paying a stiff premium. But don’t you believe it.

Web hosting has gotten dramatically better in the last few years. State-of-the-art hardware and software means more reliable hosting — so your website will be down less often (if ever).

Cheaper memory means more storage and bandwidth — often unlimited. And setting up is easier, too, with even the cheapest web hosts offering one-click setup.

So why pay more?

The hard part, of course, is doing the research. Saving money takes time.

You could scour the web, spending hours looking for the best penny-pinching deals. But why? We’ve already done it for you. Check out our top picks below.
