Please do not confuse our services as listed above with basic web hosting accounts that are sold by web hosting providers.
We do not sell basic web hosting services, we deliver Fully Managed Service Plans for our web design clients. No web host will manage, update, and rectify faults on your website, all they support is the server and the network.

As an example, the managed package detailed above for a client using 20GB diskspace in a UK datacenter would be approximately €395 a year. But of course there are alternatives to our services! Who knows......the grass may be greener elsewhere?  So I've listed a few options, all of whom deliver professional services that I anticipate would be on a par with ours.

Web Hosting €280 a year (Clook) plus a Site Firewall €175 (Sucuri). Total €455.....but this does not contain site management, only hosting and security facilities.

Site Management €850 a year (Joomlashack). This contains site management, but no hosting facilities. So add the two options together to match the full WebSpain package and it would cost you €1305 a year.

Site Management and Hosting combined from €1050 up to €3200 a year (JoomDev). This is the closest match to what we provide, but there is no indication on their site of diskspace allocation or the number of sites covered. And there are limitations in the number of support tickets that you can submit per month.

So if you're comparing like for like that's how the figures stack up. Of course, if you don't want support or security of any kind for your site, and your only requirement is cheap hosting......then you're spoilt for choice. There's virtually no end to the numbers of "providers" who can supply you with diskspace on oversold servers and you can just wing it from thereon. It's what I call the "Occupational Suicide" option.

It's not a course of action that I would recommend if you have a viable business. But if your website isn't important to you, or you don't care about running obsolete software and having dubious neighbours with adult sites etc in close proximity to you.....then it's certainly worth considering. You may well be able to find somebody for less than €50 a year......but the amount you pay will have a direct bearing on the level of service you receive. Because at those unsustainable levels of pricing there is no margin for the provision of professional support personnel. Just bear in mind in that scenario you're on your own as regards your site, and depending where you go, you may well be on your own in the matter of having a reliable hosting service and e-mail facility as well. 

One point I do want to emphasise is that if you do not have a current WebSpain account, you are not a WebSpain client. Therefore we will be unable to assist you with any problems that you may encounter. Our service is only for current WebSpain clients, as they are our sole focus of attention.

If you want to maintain similar levels of service then you're looking at over €1000 a year minimum......compared to our example price point of €395. Of course you can get cheaper if you're willing to lower your expectations. But when you go to the very bottom of the barrel then it's not how much money you can save, it's how much grief you can withstand!
