# Websites hosts
A small collection of websites hosts with a special focus on budget solutions, this is not meant for big scale projects but rather small personal sites or medium size businesses. I am not an expert, these providers were picked from recommendations from other developers I know and tech websites who have reviewed them.
Things to note:
- Some sites call website traffic "bandwidth", for simplicity I wrote it the same way they advertise it as.
- Some sites advertise "unlimited" bandwidth but nothing is trully unlimited, for the sites I was able to get additional information on I added the actual limit stated in their Fair Use Policies.
- As stated before I am no expert always do your own research and look at the reviews from people who have used the service.
