How this estimate works
This tool compares your current hosting spend against typical right-sized Google Cloud pricing for similar traffic levels. Most SME sites are on shared hosting or oversized servers that cost more than a properly configured cloud setup.
The numbers here are estimates based on published Google Cloud pricing for comparable workloads — your actual costs and savings depend on your specific architecture, which we confirm in a free migration assessment.

Frequently asked questions
How much should I pay for web hosting?+
For a typical SME website with moderate traffic (under 10,000 visitors/month), well-configured cloud hosting costs $20–$80/month. Businesses paying more than $100/month for a simple informational or e-commerce site are likely over-provisioned. High-traffic or application-heavy sites may legitimately need $200–$500/month.
Is cloud hosting more expensive than traditional hosting?+
Not necessarily — and often the opposite. Traditional shared hosting is cheap but unpredictable. Traditional dedicated servers are often over-provisioned (you pay for capacity you don't use). Right-sized cloud hosting scales to your actual traffic and typically costs less per unit of performance than a fixed dedicated server.
What is right-sized cloud hosting?+
Right-sized cloud hosting means provisioning exactly the compute, memory, and storage your actual traffic requires — no more, no less. Most SMEs on traditional hosting are either under-provisioned (slow site, crashes under traffic spikes) or over-provisioned (paying for unused capacity). Cloud hosting allows precise sizing and easy scaling as your traffic grows.
What are the signs I'm overpaying for web hosting?+
Seven common signs: (1) you're paying more than $100/month for a site with under 10,000 visitors/month; (2) your site is slow despite the cost; (3) you're on a fixed dedicated server that's under-utilised; (4) your host doesn't offer automatic scaling; (5) you pay for storage you don't use; (6) your hosting plan hasn't been reviewed in over 2 years; (7) you're on shared hosting with no performance guarantees.
