I made a company website on GoDaddy for about $76 a year. That's the domain name, web hosting, and 10 employee emails. I think they give you 2Gb of space. Now, if the school website you have is somewhat elaborate, then finding hosting that is a little more professional could cost more. $500 does sound kinda high, but if they are building the website, constantly updating information, e-mail hosting, ect. then it might be a legit price.
All we really change is the lunch menu once a month, and the school calendar once a year. We try to get the person to post new pictures for us every once in a while, but not often.
a basic domain name is a bout $10 a year from godaddy (if that, they run specials ALL the time...this is if godaddy isnt hosting, just providing domain name...
if the website isnt heavy, just basic things here and there not a lot of fancy smancy pants coding, go to angelfire or whatever other web builder site and you can set most sites up for free...they even have little cute portals (file transfers) that anyone can use and makes it super simple very user friendly, you mostly only need basic html know how (which they even provide you tutorials for and templates)...you can even upgrade to larger much more space having accounts and get emails and the whole shabangs for very few dollars a month...
also, did you pay the guy for the domain name? or did he buy it as his and hes loaning it to you guys for the 500 a month...
if you guys bought it, legally it should be yours, but obviously its under his name...sooooo????
if he built the website, he might legally be entitled to do what he wants with it, not sure....even if you paid for it to be built and lets say legally its yours, he can also accidently delete and lose all files so either way id go through and save all source codes and photos before even mentioning it to anyone about swapping over
Yeah, she handles network stuff and comes out when we need her, but charges an extra hourly rate. I'm thinking we could keep her on for that, and just drop the web service. But without that big juicy udder on the cash cow it might not be worth her time.
