Price Comparisons
Most hosting companies show you their lowest price, but "forget" to give you the requirements for getting that price. To help you compare these hosting companies we are looking at the prices two ways: Lowest cost per month and shortest contract term. Take a look at the table, then we will continue our discussion.

The shortest term is the pricing for no commitment or a very short commitment.
The lowest price is the price you will pay, up front, for signing a long term contract. You get a lower price per month, but you have to pay it all now.
Once you have had a good look at the two tables above, you can head over to our recommendations. We have links to all of these hosting companies so you can do more research or sign up.
