How to compare cheap hosting fairly

The lowest headline fee may not be the lowest total cost. Before buying, compare the hosting term, renewal rate, number of websites, included SSL, bandwidth, storage and support channels. Domain names are often a separate yearly purchase.

A fair comparison also includes whether your website needs a database, PHP version, email accounts or the ability to install WordPress. If these are critical to your business, verify them before ordering.

Estha hosting plans

Estha Silver starts at ₦5,000/month, Gold at ₦10,000/month and Premium at ₦20,000/month. Choose a plan based on the number of sites and storage you need.

Silver may suit a small personal or business site; Gold allows more sites and bandwidth; Premium offers more resources for multi-site requirements. The right choice depends on actual consumption, not just the number of pages.

Avoid unexpected expenses

  1. Note whether the domain registration or renewal is separate from hosting.
  2. Ask what happens when you exceed disk space, file-count or bandwidth limits.
  3. Check whether backups are automatic and how a restore is requested.
  4. Confirm if email hosting is included and any sending or storage limits.
  5. Review applicable fees and renewal terms in your order confirmation.
