How much are you guys paying annually for a private domain and hosting?

It all depends on the provider and plan you use when it comes to hosting a web domain. Sites such as GoDaddy can be as cheap as a few dollars or pounds a year. Shopify includes domain hosting and an SSL certificate for around $25 a month. So shop around and find a deal that's best for you.

When I had to choose a VPS, I remember that I looked at a lot of options. There were so many that I remember it was very difficult for me to choose a particular one. I have a small site, so I didn`t need to worry about a huge amount of storage. Moreover, it`s much cheaper than buying a physical server and maintain it yourself. However, based on recommendations and feedbacks I opted for vps server. It is cheap, convenient and suitable for me in terms of tariff plan. Tried others, but this one seemed to work best. I can't remember the original price, since we pay all the bills together every month, mostly my husband does it.
