Nice thread, says a lot about how you should think if you want a website.

[Verilog]

Very much agreed, only price you can cut off is domain and hosting by using discount and coupons but they also get charged the same after an year

To those who say learning to code yourself is cheaper.
Well, sure, technically it would.
But then think about all the time compiled that would take to learn to code, and all the more profitable things that could have been done in that time, and ask yourself again, is it worth to learn all that code, to spend all that time, and then use it once on one idea? Would it not be more profitable to simply spend a fraction of your prospective earnings and hire a coder to minimize the time you would have had to spend?

Bumping this to spread awareness to the new designers and developers who are charging like $15 per website.

Please read this thread and share the info!

Good post. People think work is supposed to be nearly free. You get what you pay for.

$150/yr for hosting? You're overpaying by a lot.

$150/yr for hosting? You're overpaying by a lot.

If you want an host that provides solid protection and good backup procedures, you'd be paying around $12/month. This is for small businesses who aren't targeted by spammers, DDoS'ers, etc.

If you're the owner of a corporation who needs to store a lot of data, hosting could go up to $2,000/month simply due to the fact you need to pay employees to manage them, pay for DDoS mitigation, and for multiple backup servers that go online as soon as another goes down.

$150/month is perfectly reasonable for what I mentioned in the thread. For people who are simply looking to build an online portfolio, $100 - $120 a year would be sufficient.

I personally pay $200/year because I need to store a ton of data on my servers.

You can get a VPS for $20/year off RamNode.

How much data are you using on your server?

As much of my own work and my designers' works have been stored in my server since 2009 (5 years ago), there's too much data going in to even have a stable number at any point.

I'm actually thinking about buying a slot at a datacenter instead to store my works.

I tend to stick with reputable hosts that have been around for at least 10 years. The one I'm using right now is 1&1, and they've never failed me to this day.

Obviously, there are cheaper alternatives but I highly recommend sticking with the tried-and-true instead of the might-save-some-money route.

I have been using 1and1 for a few years now and they are the least helpful hosting company around and there support is just terrible, I have been trying to cancel a hosting contract with them for about 1 month now and I always get put on hold and never helped.

LOL I'm sorry to hear about that. 1 and 1 has been great for me!

Lol. You're getting ripped off.

Get yourself a VPS.

500Gb bandwidth a year? Dependant on how much a server with low specs like that can handle & the upload speed I could eat that up in a day or less with a botnet.

Seems like a terrible idea.

Yea right 35$/hr for front-end developing and 30$/hr for back-end.

Alright AT LEAST you're not saying 5$ but this price still might be considered offensive to the developer. That is dirt cheap and not the median price.

That is maybe half or 2/3 of the actual median amount which is 50-70$/hr

Assuming there are 261 work days in a year and each work day is from 9AM to 5AM, the average front-end developer would make $73,000 a year.

Yep, sounds right.

Let's take the average pay per hour you presented at $60/hour. That's $126,000 a year.

I'm sorry, but if you think that's the average salary of a front-end developer, you need to get your facts right :P
