For people to access your website – so that you can generate traffic and earn an income – you need a Domain name and Hosting. These come in different packages, usually a yearly fee can be paid for Domain registration. Hosting can often be paid monthly, yearly or for multiple years up front. This will depend on the provider.

Here are some of the most popular and affordable hosting companies that are great for beginners:

Namecheap: This company, as the name suggests, focuses on low-cost services, and their hosting plans are very competitive.

DreamHost: A strong option, especially for WordPress sites, with solid long-term value.

Hostinger: Known for having some of the lowest prices, making it very budget-friendly.

Bluehost: A very popular choice for new websites and often has rock-bottom introductory prices for the first year.

I have used DreamHost and Bluehost. I personally prefer Bluehost, only because my plan with them is cheaper.
