The direct answer: most "web hosting" in PH (Hostinger, GoDaddy) sells you a server then leaves you to build the site yourself. We do both — and it's free to start. ₱0 down, just ₱1,699/mo year 1 (drops to ₱1,000/mo in year 2), your site live in 5 days, GCash-friendly, no contracts. Prefer to own it sooner? ₱8,500 upfront + ₱1,000/mo.
Hostinger and GoDaddy are great if you have the time + skills to build a site yourself. If you don't (most small biz owners), you'll end up paying a freelancer ₱20-60k anyway — totaling ₱25-70k. We're ₱0 to start, build included.
The cheapest real way to get a done-for-you small-business website in the Philippines is ₱0 to start, then a low monthly — every other path charges thousands upfront before you see anything.
