like for server and such added together... mine is free cuz i use free host. All i paid for is my domain name which will last for a year.
I have also started with free server, all my expenses were $10 for domain name, and from what I have earned with that site I have bought more domains and hosting server and had a lot of international trips and bought a lot of nice stuff
host 5 €, that's it, most people take too large host packages for 10$+ in my oppinion you should use a host witth great service. That#s is the most important issue.
You need to have your own server. THere are too many limitations with free servers. Domains can be a lot cheaper than $10 for ayear.
It is better not to use a free hosting with lots of limitation. Spend you money wisely and plan it accordingly to your ROI...
server = $2400/year vbulletin = $30/year CMS support = $30/year URLs = approx $150/year (I own way too many..)
there are quite good free cPanel hosts, they are great for starters, it is better to practice on them before spending money I know there are domains cheaper then $10 but at the time I didn't have credit card so I had to buy it from that company for $10. Now I'm paying $1.8/mo for hosting 3 sites and spending ~$10 monthly for advertising but I'm planing to invest more into advertising
I'm paying $20 for a full year hosting and $7.99 domain. Of course adsense pays for all of this and that leaves me the profits
I spend about $50 / month for my 3 paid hosting accounts. And couple of hundred dollars per year to keep all my domains alive.
Nothing! I scrapped my domain...no-one was visiting it. Now I just get clients from freelance sites (web design etc).
