Yeah, too much. lol I can't remember exactly how much but it prolly comes in around £350-£400 a year. SB, costs will depend on what type of website you're wanting. A website with forums, member posts, gallery and picture posting will prolly cost a fair bit more than a basic website offering information. We have to pay every year for the software (Invision Power Board) and we're also obliged to update the software and keep up with security updates and bug fixes which can take up a fair bit of time esp. if, like moi, you're not really experienced at doing it. The host provides the space for our software which is only ever taking up more space as more posts and pics are put up and the site software expands.
Some software providers, ours included, will also provide the space and technical expertise to maintain the site but it will prolly at least double the cost.
Have you looked at IONOS SB ? Their prices are nearly half of what we're paying for hosting and they also offer nearly 3 times the storage (20GB) We're looking into moving there next year, after we update our software.
