Hot Tip #71 is don’t take shortcuts on website hosting.
Cheap, shared hosting will end up costing a lot more (through downtime, hacks, sluggish speeds, slow support, and frustrated customers) in comparison to the savings you’d get from using a reputable host.
However, hosting advice is subjective to where you are in your journey. This tip would apply to Landing Pages with a product or service people are buying.
**Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions**
Here are some hosting FAQs and answers I give One Page Love readers who ask. These are actually taken from my email macros I use them so much:)
**FAQ: I have a product idea I want to validate but have little budget or coding experience?**

**FAQ: I have a product idea, want to use WordPress but have little budget?**
[Bluehost](<https://tips.onepagelove.com/go/bluehost/>) is an option if you really want to use WordPress + a free theme. It’s not the best hosting but if you are giving away a free product and need to use WordPress, it’s your best option. [This link](<https://tips.onepagelove.com/go/bluehost/>) discounts to $3/month if you pay annually.

[Flywheel](<https://tips.onepagelove.com/go/flywheel/>) hosts all my WordPress websites and Landing Pages.

For my network of sites I’m paying $100/month.
**FAQ: I want good hosting for my Landing Page and don’t want to use WordPress?**
