The web’s top five budget web hosts… with the best features

OK, so maybe after doing some research about what about web hosts, how to choose one, etc., you decided to go ahead and sign up for your web host. Or maybe you already have some experience in the field, but still would like to find out about more web hosts. Well, here you’ve found a list of the web’s leading budget web hosts. Keep reading to see our top five budget webhost list.

This list was made up following some very strict guidelines: the web hosts listed had to have lots of features, disk space, bandwidth, and extras without stepping over the $10 per month price point.  The first web host we’ll be talking about is…


Hostgator web hosting

It seems everybody is recommending Hostgator these days… maybe it’s because they offer an affiliate program, but to tell the truth, Hostgator offers a nice array of features at a reasonable price. It’s some damn good web hosting, to be honest. Prices start at $4.95/month, and that includes a 350GB hard drive, and a huge 3TB (3,000GB) of bandwidth, which is a lot for starting websites. Steping up to “swamp” webhosting will grant you a whopping 1TB of web hosting and unlimited bandwidth, at $12.95/month.

Imhosted web hosting

Although it is less popular than Hostgator, Imhosted offers a wide array of features at a very low price. You get a mind-blowing 2TB (2000GB) hard drive, a whopping 12TB of bandwidth, and a FREE domain name of your choice for only $6.95/month. Not only do you get these huge features, but you also get a website builder, an ecommerce cart, , webmail, free SSL certificates, and more than 100 webapps including, but not limited to Joomla, Mambo, Wordpress, PHP, MySQL, phpWiki, and phpBB. Plus, as if it wasn’t enough, setup fees are free, and customer support is very responsive.

Lypha web hosting

Lypha web hosting is another budget web host with a large number of features at a low price. You get 2GB hard drive, 15TB of bandwidth (versus the 12TB of Imhosted), FREE domain name registration, 5000 Email Accounts, PHP, MySQL, CGI, Perl, SSI + Website Builder SSH, cPanel, Webmail, Subdomains, awStats, and other useful applications, and a steady 99.998% server uptime.  All of this for the low price of $6.95/month. The advantage of Lypha over Imhosted lies in the all important bandwidth. When you put them side by side, there’s only a difference of 3TB. Looks small, but when you change to GB, It becomes 3,000 GB. Some expensive webhosts ($200/year and more) don’t even offer 1TB of bandwidth! But, when it comes to disk space, Imhosted excels when offering a 2TB hard drive, versus the 2GB of Lypha: that’s 8 times as much disk space!

Webhost4life

Webhost for life is damn cheap for the features. For only $4.95/month, you get a 1GB hard drive, unlimited bandwidth, MySQL and PHP, daily full backup, 10 1GB email accounts ,and 99.9% uptime, among other things. The feature that sets Webhost for life apart from the others (aside from being $2/month cheaper, and having unlimited bandwidth) is that webhost4life is a Windows server web host. Usually, windows servers are more expensive than Linux servers, but webhost4life really lowers the price to a point that it is actually cheaper than Linux hosting. In case you don’t know, Windows hosting grants you all the features of Linux web hosting, plus extras like ASP, .NET and FrontPage integration.

Webintellects

The last web host on our list is Webintellects. For $6.95/month for their silver plan, you get 50 GBs of bandwidth, unlimited e-mail accounts, 99.9% uptime, search engine submission, website builder, and other features. But, you just might want to make an effort and step up to their Gold plan. This one offers you unlimited web space and unlimited bandwidth (something not seen elsewhere on this list), as well as all the features of the silver plan and more for just $9.95. It’s slightly more expensive than the others, but you do get unlimited disk space and bandwidth, and it meets the under $10 criteria.
Those are the top five cheap web hosts out there. Be sure to take a detailed look at each one before you make your choice.
