Look no further! We&#8217;re about to expose the biggest names in the web hosting industry and reveal which ones are ripping you off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Actually $5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we say $5, we mean it. Many web hosts like to lure you into their services with what appears to be super low prices (like $1). However, the reality is that most of the time you have to pay years in advance to get that rate. We\u2019re looking for web hosts that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"a\">\n<li>Let you pay monthly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let you pay $5 at a time<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also want all the web hosts we mention to at least include these basic features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>WordPress compatible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free SSL certificates (https)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fast SSD Storage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. <a href=\"https:\/\/ifastnet.com\/portal\/aff.php?aff=28607\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" title=\"iFastNet\">iFastNet<\/a> &#8211; $3.75\/m<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On iFastNet\u2019s website, all prices are advertised the way you see them. When they say $4.99 a month, they really mean $4.99 a month. That being said, how does iFastNet stack up against the competition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-6-1024x560.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-6-1024x560.png 1024w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-6-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-6-768x420.png 768w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-6-1536x840.png 1536w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-6.png 1898w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iFastNet is the <em>only<\/em> web host that gives you a free domain for a year if you pay monthly. The only catch is that the extensions you receive depend on your billing cycle. Paying $5 a month only gives you .site, .eu, or other lesser known extensions (Paying yearly gives you a free lifetime .com.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to features, iFastNet outperforms nearly every other host. With unlimited disk space, 250 GB of bandwidth, a hundred email addresses, and 20 websites, you\u2019re sure to not use up those resources for a <em>looong<\/em> time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gilect.com\/premium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Use our coupon \u201cGILECT\u201d\">Use our coupon \u201cGILECT\u201d<\/a> to claim an additional 25% off every recurring purchase. This means $3.75 a month (or $2.99 if paid yearly.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ifastnet.com\/portal\/aff.php?aff=28607\">Claim Coupon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interserver.net\/r\/919074\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" title=\"InterServer\">InterServer<\/a> &#8211; $7.00\/m<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-8-1024x527.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-8-1024x527.png 1024w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-8-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-8-768x395.png 768w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-8-1536x790.png 1536w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-8.png 1822w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interserver seems like the cheapest on the list\u2026 They charge $2.50, and they let you pay monthly. What\u2019s the catch? It\u2019s only $2.50 for the first month, and afterward it jumps to $7 a month\u2014which is still considerably cheap. If you\u2019re looking for web hosting under $5 right now, Interserver might be right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this low price, InterServer offers unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, and even weekly backups! Although it isn\u2019t quite $5, it still offers a good deal that can only be upped by iFastNet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the coupon code &#8220;Gilect&#8221; to get your first month for $0.01.

And for $0.00 a month with no credit cards required, what can possibly be a better deal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited websites, and the option to use your own custom domain or receive a free subdomain, Gilect is a great choice for small websites starting up. Of course, you don\u2019t get all the bells and whistles of premium hosting, such as email and automatic backups, but that\u2019s to be expected for this price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/gilect.com\">Claim Free Hosting<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. <a href=\"https:\/\/hostinger.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Hostinger\">Hostinger<\/a> &#8211; $9.99\/m<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite being known for their uber-cheap prices, Hostinger is actually one of the priciest hosts on this list. They list their very basic plan at $1.99 monthly, but that\u2019s if you pay 4 years in advance. Even their most basic plan costs $9.99 if you choose to pay a month at a time. Even worse, they have a $4.99 setup fee (which in itself costs just as much as a month of iFastNet.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-9-1024x521.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-9-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-9-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-9-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-9-1536x781.png 1536w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-9.png 1831w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, does a high price mean better services? Not necessarily. While they do offer unlimited bandwidth, you only get a single website and a single email address. You do get 50 GB of disk space though, which is more than enough for most use cases. Another plus is the automatic weekly backups. If you aren\u2019t as familiar with the hosting world, Hostinger might be right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things do get better if you increase the price to $11.99, giving you 100 websites, 100 email addresses, 100 GB storage, and unlimited bandwidth. Unfortunately, you aren\u2019t given a free domain if you pay monthly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/hostinger.com\">Visit Hostinger<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5. <a href=\"https:\/\/bluehost.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Bluehost\">Bluehost<\/a> &#8211; $35.40\/y<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-10-1024x523.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-10-1024x523.png 1024w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-10-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-10-768x393.png 768w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-10-1536x785.png 1536w, https:\/\/gilect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-10.png 1831w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bluehost has built up quite a reputation over the years\u2014but is it as good as they say? One thing\u2019s for certain, it definitely isn\u2019t as cheap as they say. BlueHost forces you to pay <em>at least<\/em> 12 months in advance\u2026 meaning you will be charged $35.40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the bright side, you do get a free domain for a year. However, this is where everything else begins to fall apart. First off, while $35.40 for a year seems like a great price, it renews at $10.99\/month. And for $10.99 monthly, what do you get? 10 GB of disk space, a single website, and just five email addresses. Yikes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bluehost.com\">Visit BlueHost<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The webhost closest to the $5 range is iFastNet, offering great value for its low price!
