Website hosting costs anywhere from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars a month, depending on the type of hosting. As of 2026, Hostinger’s published guide puts shared hosting at about $2 to $10 a month, standard WordPress plans at $3 to $25, VPS at $10 to $100, cloud hosting at $10 to $200 and dedicated servers at $80 to $500, with high-end managed WordPress above $200. Hosting companies publish these figures, and real prices vary by provider, so treat them as a guide.
For most small and mid-sized business sites, the real question is not the sticker price. It is what is included: backups, security, updates, support and a fair renewal rate. A $3 plan that needs $40 a month of add-ons and your own time to run is not cheap. Below is what each hosting type means, what drives the price and the fees to check before you sign.
Your site shares a server with many others. Cheapest option and fine for a small brochure site with modest traffic. A busy or hacked neighbor can slow you down, and you usually handle updates and security yourself.
Hosting tuned for WordPress, often with automatic core updates, caching, staging sites and daily backups. Costs more than shared but saves time. Check whether plugin updates and malware cleanup are included or extra.
Dedicated slices of server resources. Faster and more flexible, suited to busy sites, online stores and custom applications. Someone has to manage the server, so add that cost if it is not included.
A whole machine for you. Rarely needed for a typical business website. Makes sense for heavy traffic, large stores or strict isolation needs.
Hosted platforms such as Shopify, Squarespace and Wix bundle hosting into the subscription, so there is no separate hosting bill. You pay through the plan instead, and you trade some control and portability for convenience.
Most hosting surprises come from the fine print, not the headline price.
Raw hosting is the server. Hosting and support is the server plus the work of keeping the site safe and running: updates, monitoring, backups you can actually restore, malware cleanup and someone to ask when something breaks. For a business whose website brings in leads, the second is what you are really buying. The useful comparison is total yearly cost, including your own time, against the cost of the site being down or hacked for a week.

To compare offers fairly, add up every line for a full year, at renewal prices, not introductory ones:
The last line is the one people skip, and it often decides which option is actually cheaper.
Our website hosting and support includes constant automated monitoring and malware cleanup, so a hack is a support ticket rather than a surprise invoice. We price on what your site needs rather than a one-size plan. If you are also weighing a rebuild, our guides to small business website costs and website maintenance costs cover the rest of the budget.

Using Hostinger’s 2026 monthly ranges, shared hosting works out to roughly $24 to $120 a year and VPS to roughly $120 to $1,200, before domains and add-ons. Ranges vary by provider and renewal pricing.
It can be for a simple site if someone handles updates, security and backups. If your site brings in leads and nobody technical is in-house, hosting that includes support usually costs less overall.
No. Hosting is bundled into the subscription. You pay through the plan instead, and you have less control over the underlying setup.
The domain is your address, renewed yearly through a registrar. Hosting is the server space where the site’s files and database live. You can buy them from different companies.
Usually because an introductory rate ended at renewal, or add-ons such as backups, security or email were added. Check the renewal price before you sign up.
