The Verdict
Individuals and small businesses with a very tight budget and simple hosting needs may find an
appropriate plan at DollarHost. These are not fancy plans. They have neither enterprise
solutions nor premium tech support options. You won’t get a site builder or pre-installed free
scripts with these plans. However, the prices are extremely affordable. If you’re comfortable
using a shared account with little tech support, and your site doesn’t require much in the way of
resources, DollarHost could interest you.
