The foundation of your affordable website
Building an affordable website: all options at a glance
A website doesn't have to be expensive. There are several ways to build an affordable, professional website, each with its own pros and cons. The first option is a website builder: this lets you build your site visually without code. Ideal for simple websites, portfolios and small business pages. Costs range between €3 and €15 per month, including hosting. The second option is WordPress with a free theme: WordPress itself is free, you only pay for hosting. With a free theme and a few plugins you have a fully-fledged website for the price of your hosting package. The third option is having a custom website built, but this quickly costs €1,000 to €5,000 and usually isn't necessary for a starting business.
- Website builder: €3-€15/month, no technical knowledge needed
- WordPress + free theme: from €3/month, more flexibility
- WordPress + premium theme: from €5/month + one-time €50-€100
- Custom website: €1,000-€5,000+, only for complex requirements
- Don't forget domain name costs (€5-€15/year)
- SSL certificate: free with Theory7, paid with some providers

Affordable website options compared: builders, CMS and costs
When comparing affordable website options, total cost over the first year is the fairest comparison point. A website builder from a provider like Theory7 costs an average of €36-€180 per year including hosting, domain and SSL. WordPress on shared hosting costs about the same, but offers more flexibility in design and functionality. Free website builders such as Wix or WordPress.com offer a free tier, but with limitations: ads on your site, no custom domain name and limited storage space. For a professional look, an affordable hosting package with your own domain is always the better choice, and the cost difference is minimal.

What does a cheap website cost?
The basics are surprisingly affordable. Web hosting starts at €0.49/mo (first year) and includes free SSL, daily backups and Dutch-language support. You pay no hidden costs: the price you see is the price you pay. And if you are not satisfied? You have a 30-day money-back guarantee on the hosting.
What should you look out for when choosing web hosting?
When choosing web hosting, there are a few important factors. Loading speed determines not only the user experience but also your position in Google. Uptime guarantees that your website is always reachable. Support ensures that you are helped quickly when problems arise.
Theory7 scores on all these points. Our servers run on NVMe SSD storage with a LiteSpeed web server, resulting in loading times under a second. We guarantee 99.9% uptime and offer personal support 7 days a week.
Technical specifications that matter
Not all hosting is equal. When comparing, pay attention to these specifications:
- Storage type — NVMe SSD is up to 10x faster than traditional HDD
- Web server — LiteSpeed performs better than Apache under high visitor numbers
- PHP version — PHP 8.x offers significantly better performance than older versions
- Backups — Daily automatic backups protect against data loss
At Theory7 all these features are included as standard, even with the most affordable package from €0.49 per month.

The fastest route to your own website
A professional website does not have to be expensive or complicated. With WordPress and a hosting package at Theory7 you have a working website within an hour. Choose a theme that suits you, add your content and publish. No technical knowledge required.
Want more control? With page builders like Elementor or Beaver Builder you design pages visually, without code. At Theory7 the hosting is already optimised for these tools: fast servers ensure that the editor works smoothly and your visitors have a fast experience.
Where do you really save with cheap web hosting?
When looking for affordable web hosting, it is important to look beyond just the monthly price. Many cheap providers charge extra for essential features such as an SSL certificate, daily backups or email accounts. At Theory7 these features are included as standard, even with the most affordable package. That means the price you see is actually the price you pay, with no hidden costs.
Another way to save is by paying in advance. With an annual subscription you pay considerably less per month than with monthly billing. You also save on transaction costs. For starters and small businesses that keep a close eye on their costs, this can be a smart choice. Also remember that cheap hosting does not automatically mean bad hosting — with modern technology such as LiteSpeed and SSD storage, affordable packages can also deliver excellent performance.
