£6 a month, = £72 a year, the other one £10 per month = £120 a year WOW! he has 3 sites between them I don't know what data use or disk space, but he would be better off getting a VPS, finding someone kind to set it up for him with everything on auto update etc. Backing up is so simple, don't need any of the fancy software just a cron job backing up the database and making a tar.gz backup of the files.. back up and restore in an instant. I have found it the easiest and quickest way. I have moved Joomla sites between servers so easily doing that. Again stuff like ZBBlock, fail2ban and so on gives security equal to WP. I reckon.
