I have someone with an auto repair business, they have a fairly simplistic 8 page website with some forms pages, nothing fancy at all.
I don't want this to turn into a 'how long is a piece of string' thread, but what would be a rough price per month for that do you think?

Currently they are paying around $200 per month, which to me seems excessive.

Cheers

1293757 2012-08-09 23:47:00 Where's it currently hosted?
For example, Orcon would charge $17.50+GST per 28 days for a <50MB site.

1293758 2012-08-09 23:48:00 If there's no SSL certs, no ecommerce, etc, and literally just 8 basic, static pages with some contact forms, any more than about $20 or so a month is either a ripoff or getting WAY more than you need. inphinity (7274)

That's exactly what they have. Whole website probably 2megs in size.

1293760 2012-08-10 01:36:00 Yeah if it's that small, they're being taken for a ride. Even e-commerce websites don't cost that much. To give you an example you can rent a whole dedicated server and have it maintained by somebody for less than that each month...

I wouldn't even give their current hosting provider the chance to "make amends" if they're abusing them that much, simply up and switch and take your money elsewhere!
