Question Hello and thank you for your time. My question is this. I have been wanting to start a localy based dating site in the Miami area and I was wondering how much will it take to get it off the ground? I know the search engine is the biggest cost for the site. But what other cost is there other than the advertising? Thank youfor your help
Answer Hi Rob,
The costs of starting a website typically comprise of 1. domain name (approx. $10-20/year), 2. website design and development (cost will vary depending on complexity of the site, template vs. custom, and type of web firm you hire), 3. web hosting (depending on size and specs, approx. $100-$300/year for a shared solutions, more if you want a dedicated solution), and 3. internet marketing (dependant on budget).
