Website Hosting Costs...

[Nufy]

What should be an approximate cost per month / year for website hosting.

Approx 10 - 15 pages with minimal traffic...

Static pages?

If so then you should be fine with a shared plan for a few dollars a month.

Bluehost is one good one.

Or if you have shaw you could use their hosting service and just buy a domain.

I have Shaw Internet and had no idea I could do this. I'm looking at starting a website for a hockey sim league but I'm not exactly a computer guy and have no idea how to do this. Would you be able to give me some pointers?

If you don't need a .ca address, I'd suggest using www.dreamhost.com (shared hosting). Costs about 9$ a month.

You can register your domain there, and they offer one of the simplest hosting systems I've used. There are cheaper solutions, but in my own experience nothing has come close to matching the simplicity Dreamhost offers.

This works best if you want to use a content management system like Wordpress. If all you're after is somewhere to stick a few static HTML pages, talk to Shaw since you're already paying for it.

Edit: just thought of this: https://sites.google.com/ - free hosting and a fairly simple website builder. Great if you want to get a basic site up without the cost and hassles of normal web development. Not so great if you want to do anything fancy. Probably a LOT better then anything Shaw offers.

I pay $4-$5/mo on Canadian Web Hosting. Their support is excellent and I've never had any major issues with about a dozen sites I run on it. Full LAMP stack, etc.
