Hi guys I know it may be the wrong category for this post but please help me. I am thinking of owning a new link directory, just wanted to know how much it would cost me..
Cheap hosting is $5-$10 usb per month. Domain name $8-$10 per year. Directory script some basic ones free. Others $15-$70+ depending on the one you like. So you could potentially do it $20-$25 ish to get started with new hosting and a new domain, up to around $100 range. After that it's just the monthly hosting. If your directory happened to get busy and a lot of traffic you might need a little more spendy hosting plan. A lot of them are hosted on $5-$10 per month packages though.
I suggest starting small with a few dollars and lower cost hosting, (between $20 and $40), I wouldn't recommend free scripts though
I would not suggest starting directory if you plan on using things like: free domain names, free hosting, free directory script, etc. Spend a little money up front a buy a decent script (around 70 or 80 bucks) and use one of the large, well-respected hosts (around 10 bucks for most). If you are planning on making money with your directory, then surely you can afford to spend $100 or so to start out.
first of all you have to decide that. you wants to run directory for long time. or for short time. then think about pricing. for more information you can also pm me.
its a good idea and you should search more about that and get the information and requirement and needs of people.
According to me start a new directory site include all category. Like Travel,Transportation,Health,etc
