Being a student is a wonderful time in your life, especially if you’re at college. You’re living away from home. You’re meeting new people. However, money is tight. You have to cut unnecessary spending down to a minimum.
There are many reasons why you might want to start a website when you’re a student. Perhaps it’s to showcase your college work. Maybe it’s to upload a resumé to help you start a career when you graduate. Perhaps you’re a budding entrepreneur, and you need a website for your next big idea. After all, Facebook was started in Mark Zuckerberg’s dorm room.
Don’t let the cost of web hosting stand in the way of your dreams. Here are five web hosts that specifically cater to students, with prices to match.
1. SiteGround
Based in Bulgaria but available all over the world, SiteGround has made its name as one of the most prominent web hosts in the world, servicing over 1,000,000 domains worldwide.
One of SiteGround’s features is an excellent student package. Whether it’s a hobby site or the next big startup, if you can prove your status as a student, you can receive all the features of a regular SiteGround hosting plan with an enticing discount.
Your package includes superior speed hosting with CDN caching, easy website management with cPanel and 24/7 support. The current price for students is 80% cheaper than the regular SiteGround price, just $1.99 per month.
2. InMotion
InMotion is a web hosting company based in Los Angeles, serving consumers and businesses small and large since 2001.
InMotion offers a student package designed for fledgling businesses, with lots of optional extras depending on your needs. Of course, as it’s aimed at students, there’s a generous discount.
With InMotion, you get user-friendly, Linux-based hosting. InMotion hosting is compatible with WordPress, PHP, Joomla and many other web programming tools. Plus, there’s 24/7 support.
The price for a student taking out the 12-month package is $4.16 per month. That’s a 58% discount on the standard price. If you need something on a higher level than the standard package, InMotion also offers virtual private servers and dedicated hosting.
3. Student Web Hosting
Student Web Hosting is a specialist student hosting service aimed at web design students. Their philosophy is that students will learn web design more effectively if they can experiment on the web first-hand. If they can use specialist hosting, and not have to worry about the price, it will be better for students and the wider web.
With Student Web Hosting, you get a free subdomain, SSL, hosting compatible with WordPress, Drupal and much more. You also get access to a wide range of educational videos, so you can learn as you go. What’s more, you can keep your site even after you graduate!
Student Web Hosting offers three packages depending on the number of websites you need. The medium package is called Developer and costs $3.95 per month.
4. InterServer
InterServer is a leading web hosting company with data centers in New Jersey and California.
Their student web hosting package offers control through cPanel or Plesk for Windows. InterServer offers easy scalability for student businesses, with no downtime if you migrate to a dedicated server or virtual private server. InterServer doesn’t overload its servers, never running at more than 50% capacity. This creates a buffer so their sites can run without performance problems. InterServer offers 24/7 support as standard.
With InterServer, you also receive an unlimited number of websites and email is included.
The price for InterServer’s student package is only $5 per month, plus you get the first year free.
5. Bluehost
One of the most prominent web hosts in the world, powering over 2 million sites across the globe. Bluehost also offers a terrific package for students. They also give teaching faculty the same discounts as students, which is a generous offer if you’re a teacher.
With Bluehost, you receive a free domain and an easy to use site builder. WordPress installs are 1-click. You also receive 24/7 support, and if you’re not happy with the service during your first 30 days, you can get your money back. What sets Bluehost apart from the crowd is the help they give you to grow your site. They offer $175 in advertising offers from Google, Yahoo and Bing, so you can spread the word about your student startup.
The price for student (or teacher) hosting with Bluehost is $3.95 per month.
You’ll see there is a wide range of choices for student web hosting, with generous discounts. Make sure you pick the one that best suits your needs, offering the right performance (uptime, security, support) for the best price.
