  • Web Hosting Provider Cost vs Self Web Hosting vs VPS Hosting0:37

    In this video I go over the cost of hosting a basic website with a hosting provider vs self home hosting and VPS hosting cost. By hosting a website yourself at home, you have your own dedicated server all to yourself with high performance. The cost of a mini computer ranges from $140 to $200 with a one time payment and this same cost would be $660 to $7,400 per year with a hosting platform!

  • Internet Service Provider Used In Course0:16

    In this course I currently have a step by step tutorial for Xfinity users, if you do not have Xfinity you can still access this course, your setting will be slightly different depending on your Internet Service Provider. If you would like to have a step by step for your current provider, please reach out to me and we can work together to help get your website up and running and also help others with the same internet service provider as well.
