We continue our series on Church Website Hosting FAQs…
Nelson in New York City wants to know, “How much does church web hosting cost?”
This is one of the most common questions we’re asked, but it’s also one of the most challenging questions to answer. Website companies often package different services together making it difficult to make an apples-to-apples comparison.
If you need just website hosting, it’s possible to find website hosting for as little as a few dollars a month.
But if you are looking for a service that includes website hosting and a website builder – which means updates and support for the website builder – prices can range from $20 to $70 a month or more.
Some church website companies also have package deals that include sermon graphics, children’s ministry check-in systems, and church management systems.
Therefore, it’s important to carefully examine the details of what is included in each package, and make sure you select a package that includes everything you need without charging you for a bunch of services you’ll never use.
What is Your Time Worth?
Also keep in mind that when there’s only a few dollars a month difference in price between various services, price is probably not the most important factor in the buying decision.
If you need help with a billing or support issue, it’s really nice to be able to connect with a real human being via live chat or phone call within minutes rather than having to go through a chatbot, messaging system, or wait on hold for 30+ minutes.
What is Your Peace of Mind Worth?
Consider how frustrating it might be if your website has frequent technical issues or the hosting company is slow to respond to messages. Consider how unsettling it can when a web hosting provider is constantly trying to upsell you on services you may or may not need, and you just don’t know if you can trust their recommendations.
Compare that to the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re working with a Christian company whose mission is to help Christian organizations live out their mission online, one that reliable, honest, and has your best interest in mind.
When choosing a church web hosting provider, support, reliability and mission are far more important than trying to save a few bucks a month.
