About

Origin Desk is an independent information site that helps U.S. small business owners and the people who support them compare web hosting. We explain how hosting plans are priced, how the main hosting types differ, and how to move a website from one provider to another without avoidable risk.

The site is written for non-specialists: office managers, owners of local service companies, small online sellers and anyone responsible for choosing or replacing a hosting provider. We focus on criteria, formulas and checklists you can reuse, and we point you to official and provider documentation for current prices, limits and terms.

We do not sell hosting, we do not publish provider rankings or invented reviews, and we do not state live prices as fact because they change frequently. The calculators use illustrative defaults that you should replace with your own numbers. Guides on topics such as security, payments and consumer rights are general information, not legal, financial or technical advice for your specific situation. Where the stakes are high, consult a qualified professional.

How this site is made
