Having reviewed our reseller hosting costs and current usage we’ve determined we need to increase our hosting charges for sites using TSOhost. Therefore, from 1st January 2019, Bobbing Wide are increasing our reseller hosting charges for TSOhost based hosts.
9 years ago we offered hosting of basic WordPress websites and emails at a rate of £2.99 per month, £35.88 a year. This was based on low disk space usage for both the website and emails.
In 2016 we started offering SiteGround hosting as well. They offered better performance and greater disk space allowances, but at a higher cost to us. We therefore charged hosting at £5 per month, £60.00 a year.
Some hosting options
If you think you can get better hosting for £5 a month then you’re free to have a look and switch.
