After start-up investment, what does a Web Site cost monthly?
Operating costs for a web site vary based on a number of factors. For instance, Microsoft has a web site that includes many thousands of pages of text and graphics, and that is read by millions of people each week. The costs of maintaining such a site are quite substantial. In contrast, a small business may have a site that has only a few pages of text and graphics, and sees no more than a dozen visitors a day. While some localities, ours included, are tight markets with pricing running in the $75 to $100 per month range, small sites can usually be hosted for $50 or less per month. Smart shopping can push the monthly cost down to just half that figure. On the other hand, for mammoth commercial sites like Microsoft or Amazon.com, monthly costs may run into 5 or 6 figures. If you’ll tell us about your needs in Web service, we can help you accurately predict both the one-time and recurring costs for such a site.
