Topic	Help me pick a cheap Web Hosting service
plasmabeam 02/22/22 3:06:20 PM #1:	I'm an author with a simple Wordpress website that exists mainly to direct readers to my horror novels and my mailing list. Basically my website is a digital business card, no ecommerce/store or anything fancy. In 2019 I bought a 3-year hosting plan with HostGator for around $90. I liked HostGator, but the renewal costs are more than I'm willing to spend. Considering the simplicity of my website, what host would be the best/cheapest option for me? Right now I'm leaning toward DreamHost's "WordPress Basic" plan: https://www.dreamhost.com/wordpress/shared-wp-hosting/ Dreamhost offers: Free domain name renewal (saves me $18) Free domain protection (some other hosts charge $10/year) Free Automated WordPress Migrations (I want the migration to be as painless as possible) $3/month DreamShield Protection add-on that's a Sitelock sort of thing (Do I need this?) $5/month SEO toolkit (no thanks) A three-year plan comes out to $94 without add-ons. I'm about to pull the trigger on this, but I wondered if you guys have any insight. I've heard good things about Hostinger, iPage, BlueHost, and other hosting services. Any advice would rock--thanks! --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ <cite>plasmabeam posted [p:962872134] in Help me pi...
