Shared hosting is affordable because server costs are split among many users. Extremely cheap options under $10/year often lack support or performance.
Annual payments are typically 30–50% cheaper. Most providers also include a free domain with annual commitments.
$10–50/year is reasonable for most small businesses. Spending over $100/year on shared hosting is usually unnecessary.
Free hosting exists but comes with major limitations: ads, poor performance, no support. For serious websites, paid hosting is essential.
