Several cost that comes with when running a website is a must. Otherwise, you won’t be able to maximize the purpose of it. Here are some of the inevitable expenses you can expect to pay when having a new website.
- 1. DOMAIN NAME
Why you need it?
A domain name is the address where Internet users can access your website. A domain name is used for finding and identifying computers on the Internet. Computers use IP addresses, which are a series of number. However, it is difficult for humans to remember strings of numbers. Because of this, domain names were developed and used to identify entities on the Internet rather than using IP addresses.
The two most common types of domains are Top-Level Domains (TLDs) and Country Code Top-Level Domains(ccTLDs). TLDs are well-known domain name extensions, like .com, .net, and .edu. ccTLDs are country-specific domain name extensions, such as .uk or .fr.
How much does it cost?
Usually between $10 and $30. Price differences depend on which registrar you use, and what kind of domain you want to register. Different registrars offer different packages, so it’s worth shopping around to find your best fit.

- 2. SSL CERTIFICATE
The primary reason why SSL (secure socket layer) is used is to keep sensitive information sent across the Internet encrypted so that only the intended recipient can access it. This is important because the information you send on the Internet is passed from computer to computer to get to the destination server. Any computer in between you and the server can see your credit card numbers, usernames and passwords, and other sensitive information if it is not encrypted with an SSL Certificate. When an SSL Certificate is used, the information becomes unreadable to everyone except for the server you are sending the information to. This protects it from hackers and identity thieves.
How much does it cost?
SSL Certificates are issued by certification authorities (CA’s) and range from $10 a month to as high as $1000 a month.
