$1000/year for hosting.

Got a cheap HostGator shared hosting and host low traffic websites for some clients (static/WordPress).

As a designer with no advanced knowledge in hosting/IT/domains/backend, it was pretty easy and no complications, I can't complain.

Now planning to move from HostGator to DreamHost because HTTPS is expensive in HG and free in DH (also using the free Netlify plan for static sites, HTTPS free).

How much to people pay you for hosting one such site? The idea to design and host simple sites sometimes crosses my mind when I go to some restaurant that doesn't have a working site.
