Westhost: Cheapest 12-Month Plan
Here’s how WestHost pricing looks like for their cheapest “Personal Hosting” Plan:
• 3 Month Plan: $9.00/mo
• 12 Month Plan: $1.99/mo, renews at $8.00/mo
• 24 Month Plan: $1.99/mo, renews at $8.00/mo
• 36 Month Plan: $1.99/mo, renews at $8.00/mo
Westhost is another typical cheap host with higher renewal rates. However with Westhost you have to pay upfront, so the 36-month personal hosting plan will cost you $71.64(if you would split this cost over 36-months you will get $1.99 per month). They also have one of the cheapest 12-month plans which will only cost you $23.88 Unlike some other website hosting providers, Westhost doesn’t offer free domain option nor free email accounts.
Westhost’s performance parameters are average, the speed and uptime isn’t as good as the ones listed in our top 3. Our test site showed that the uptime was an average 99.96% and load time 896ms. The speed is rather on the slower end.
Westhost is a great option if you want to try a cheap, but some-what reliable hosting. Just keep in mind that you have pay upfront for all the plans, and the renewal pricing will increase up to $8.00/month. We recommend to lock-in that low rate for as long as possible, and they’ll even migrate your site over for $0, too.
