For reliable web hosting at the best price, I would first think about what type of website you want to host.
If it is a simple website, portfolio, landing page or HTML/CSS site, you probably do not need an expensive hosting plan. A lightweight hosting package can be enough, especially if the site does not need WordPress, databases or heavy scripts.
When comparing low-cost hosting, I would check:
- Storage space
- Bandwidth allowance
- SSL included
- Email accounts
- Control panel access
- Backup options
- Server location
- Support quality
- Renewal pricing
- Whether the plan can be upgraded later
The cheapest hosting is not always the best value if it has very low bandwidth, poor support or slow servers. But for a simple website, you also do not need to overpay for resources you will not use.
If you are hosting a basic HTML website, this type of plan can be a good fit because it is simple and gives more bandwidth for static sites:

If your main priority is the lowest starting price for a small website, then a cheap web hosting plan may be better:

The main difference is usually what you need from the site. A simple static HTML site can run very efficiently and does not need much server power. A WordPress or dynamic site may need more features, database support and higher resources.
My advice would be to choose the plan based on the website, not only the price. For a small personal or storytelling website, simple HTML hosting can be enough. For a broader small website with email and control panel features, cheap web hosting may be the better starting point.
