How Much Does It Cost To Start A Business
This page discusses how much it costs to start a small business on the internet. It covers costs related to internet operations. It does not cover your administrative costs or fees related to doing business in your location.
So as far as the internet goes, here are some numbers.
Preparing
Before you start you must have a game plan. You must have a goal. You must know where you are going.
Of the thousands of "how to" money making books out there, here are that will focus you. And both are eye openers.

Domain Name - Annual fee.
Note that you can get the first one free with your web host. That does have its drawbacks because you are locked into the web host. But it is good if you are just getting started.
Beware the cheap signup routine. Don't get lured by a low first year cost. Check what they are going to charge you to renew!
Your annual fee for a domain should level out at about $12 per year. Or in other words, $1 per month.
Web Host - Monthly fee paid in advance.
If you choose the right web host, you pay one annual fee that is about $90 and less. For that fee you can have an unlimited number of busineses on the web host. You can have a large number of product blogs.
So what does that mean. Suppose you pay $90 per year for your host.
If you have one busines on the host, you pay about $7.50 per month for hosting for that business.
But if you have ten business on the host, you pay about $0.90 per month for hosting for that business and the same for each of the others.
