Short answer
At Hostnali, web hosting starts at Br2,834 a year for the Starter plan. Plans with more websites and a free domain cost more. Budget for a domain too (a .com is Br2,314 a year), unless your plan includes one free.
What you pay for
| Plan | From | Websites | Free domain | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | ₵218 | 1 | No | One small website or blog |
| Standard | ₵418 | 5 | Yes | A business site plus a blog or shop |
| Executive | ₵748 | Unlimited | Yes | Agencies and several busy websites |
| Platinum | ₵1,008 | Unlimited | Yes | The most resources for many websites |
Every plan includes free SSL, unlimited email accounts, LiteSpeed caching, daily backups and 24/7 support. Prices are yearly, in birr, and update automatically from our billing system; see the web hosting page for every detail.
Other costs to plan for
- Domain: ₵178 a year for a .com, free for the first year with every plan except Starter. Want a .com.et? Ethiopia’s .et domains need an application to the Ethiopian registry; ask our team and we’ll help.
- Website design: free if you build it yourself with WordPress or our AI website builder; or see our web design packages.
- Extras: paid SSL certificates or more resources are only needed for special cases.
Why prices differ between hosts
The cheapest offer isn’t always the cheapest in the end. Compare the renewal price, not just the first year; check whether backups and SSL are included or charged extra; and ask whether the server uses fast NVMe storage. A slow, unreliable website costs you customers.
How to choose
- One website and a tight budget: cheap web hosting (Starter).
- A business website with email: Standard, which includes the domain.
- Several websites or clients: Executive or Platinum, or reseller hosting.
Pay by card, bank transfer or mobile money, and hosting comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
