We’ll start by taking a look at the current offerings by various large web hosting providers (both Australian and International web hosting providers), and I’m then going to show you how to get access to one of the most reliable web hosting providers for a total cost of one cent.

The most popular corporate hosting company in Australia is WebCentral:

• the entry-level package (called “economy”) starts at AU$420/yr
• server space: 200 MB
• monthly data transfer: 10 GB
• no databases
• no scripting (eg php)
• no plug-in technologies available (eg blogs, helpdesk, etc)
• The first package that gives you database and scripting capability for your web site (”business package”) jumps to AU$665/yr, and this package gives you 500 MB of server space for your web site and 20 GB of data transfer.

The biggest player in this market is MelbourneIT (charging AU$140 for 2 years).

Let’s do some quick shopping around, and see if we can find some alternatives: Read more »
