While building websites for our clients, we have worked with a lot of hosting company’s and have put together the following list as a guide for choosing not only the cheapest, but in our opinion, the best value for money hosting companies.
If you are in the market to have your website built, we will work with any hosting company of your choosing, but if this is all new, and you need some direction, we recommend all these companies.
It is well known that Amay Web Design also owns Amay Web Hosting, and we have fantastic deals on domain names and hosting, so it would be amiss to not mention ourselves. Our hosting, at this stage does not include a free domain name, but at the time of posting this article, you can add a .com.au domain name for $20.99 per year. (Broken down, that’s an extra $1.74 per month.) We are not the cheapest, but I have great confidence that we provide trusted, fast and reliable hosting solutions.
cPanel Hosting that’s easy, reliable and lightning-fast.

For the purpose of this list, we have listed them by price, cheapest to dearest. It does not mean we recommend one over the other, as they all have varied included features. It really is your personal choice, and depends on what your needs are. For comparison purposes, we have used each companies base/starter hosting plan, which is ideal for small startup websites and blogs. Each hosting company has more advanced hosting packages with more inclusions for larger websites. If you know your site is going to be very large from the outset, we recommend choosing a more advanced website hosting package, otherwise, begin with a startup basic package. You can always upgrade hosting as you grow!
