Price The monthly cost of a listed package, usually +vat.
Setup Cost The one-off setup cost incurred when first buying a package, usually +vat.
Webspace The total amount of hard disk storage space allocated by a hosting provider, measured in rounded Gigabytes' (GB).
Bandwidth The maximum amount of data a hosting provider will allow you to transfer per month, measured in Gigabytes' (GB). Some may also offer unrestricted (unlimited) usage, though this should not be taken as a sign that cheaper shared hosting can support big websites.
Contract The length of time you commit to stay with a hosting provider, exiting before the end of which may incur a financial penalty. Where possible, we base our listed packages off monthly contracts.
