Cheap Hosting for Simple Websites

A focused low-cost plan for static websites, landing pages and small starter projects that do not need PHP, WordPress or database-driven features.

Order Basic Hosting

Ideal for Static Websites

Upload HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images and simple website files manually using FTP or the file manager. It is best for straightforward websites that do not need server-side scripts.

Keep Monthly Costs Low

Start from £1.99/month with the basics needed to publish one small website, instead of paying for larger hosting features before your project needs them.

Upgrade When You Grow

Move to standard web hosting, WordPress hosting or business hosting later if you need PHP, installers, more storage, extra email accounts or stronger resources.

Low-cost starting point

Affordable Hosting Without Paying for Extras

Cheap web hosting is useful when you need a simple place to put a small website online without paying for advanced tools you do not need yet.

This Basic Web Hosting plan is designed for static websites, lightweight pages, landing pages, portfolio pages and starter projects. You can connect your domain, upload your files and manage the account through DirectAdmin.

It keeps the price low by excluding extras such as a free domain, PHP and one-click installers. If your website later needs those tools, you can upgrade to a larger hosting plan.

Included on the Basic Plan

1 domain
Use an existing domain or register one separately.
1GB storage
For small static websites and lightweight files.
20GB bandwidth
Suitable for starter and low-traffic websites.
Free SSL
Secure the website with HTTPS.
DirectAdmin
Control panel access for account management.
1 email account
Create one domain-based mailbox.
Basic by design

What Makes This Plan Cheaper?

The plan is cheaper because it focuses on essential hosting rather than CMS tools, bundled domains or larger resource allowances.

It is built for customers who want to upload a simple website and keep the monthly cost down.

View Basic Plan

No Free Domain Included

Use an existing domain or register one separately. This keeps the plan price lower for customers who already have a domain.

No PHP or Installers

Best for static websites and manual uploads. Choose a larger plan if you need PHP, WordPress or database-driven features.

Smaller Resource Limits

The 1GB storage and 20GB bandwidth limits are intended for smaller websites, not heavy applications or busy business sites.

Clear Upgrade Route

Start small and move up when you need more storage, email, PHP, installers or business hosting features.

Who This Basic Plan Is For

This plan works best when the website is simple, the budget matters and you want a practical entry point.

It is not trying to be a full business hosting or WordPress package. It is a low-cost option for straightforward websites that can grow later.

Simple HTML Websites

A good fit for static pages, small brochures, basic portfolios and manually uploaded website files.

Starter Business Pages

Useful for a small first website, basic landing page or local service page before you invest in a larger setup.

Test Projects

Ideal when you want to test an idea, launch a small campaign or publish a lightweight project affordably.

Price-Conscious Customers

A sensible starting point if you want hosting online now and only want to pay more when your site needs more.

Is This Basic Plan Right for You?

A budget plan is useful when expectations are clear. Here is when to choose it and when to upgrade.

Good Fit

  • Small static websites
  • Simple brochure pages
  • Landing pages and starter pages
  • Manual file uploads
  • Low-traffic starter projects

If your website is simple and you mainly need somewhere affordable to host it, this plan is a strong starting point.

Choose a Larger Plan Instead

  • WordPress websites or CMS installs
  • WooCommerce or ecommerce stores
  • PHP scripts or database-driven features
  • Large image-heavy websites
  • Multiple email accounts or busier business use

If you need more tools, more storage or more resources, choose standard Web Hosting, WordPress Hosting or Business Hosting.

Choose the right level

Start Basic and Upgrade Later

You do not need to overpay before your website needs more resources.

Many websites start small. A simple first website, landing page or test project may not need a larger hosting package immediately. This basic plan lets you get online at a low cost while keeping a clear path to upgrade later.

When you need PHP, more storage, more email accounts, WordPress installers, more domains or stronger resources, you can move to a larger Website Hosts UK plan.

Order Basic Hosting

Upgrade When You Need:

  • PHP or database-driven features
  • More storage space
  • More email accounts
  • WordPress or app installers
  • More website resources
  • Support for larger or busier websites
