Hey all,
i am looking for a cheap website and hosting provider. Trying to start a business with online sales and bookings and looking for something that can do all of that. As money is short i am looking for something cheap that can be upgraded later. Any input please>
Nothing made yet. Everything from scratch
If you're tech savvy, know cpanel, know MX records, chosen and know everything about the CMS you want to use for your storefront and need absolutely no assistance whatsoever then one of the best cheapies is BuyShared starting from USD$8 a year.
If you need hand holding, or don't know some of the terms used above, then stick with something like Zuver starting from AUD$5.50 a month if you include 24/7 phone support.
If you absolutely no idea what you're doing or how to setup anything, then stick with a company that'll setup the entire storefront for you, but expect to pay ~$20-30 a month at the absolute minimum.
Work out what you think you'll need too. In terms of:
If its more complex than just a basic website and you are expecting to have more than just a few customers simultaneously. It might be wroth getting a VPS. Some hosting companies make it a real headache to migrate between them late. If this is the case: Vultr or OVH are good.
No idea what Obble is like but they seem to have cheapish hosting (Web Hosting only).
Some positives from OzBargain users.
Depending on your skill, free 12 month AWS might be an option. Their free EC2 is really fast.

Have you got a site made up already and you just need it hosted or you haven't started building it yet?
