For a small U.S. nonprofit, I’d recommend separating the two jobs rather than buying an all-in-one hosting package:

My pick: DreamHost + Google Workspace for Nonprofits

• Website: dreamhost.com — particularly attractive if you qualify for its nonprofit hosting program and plan to use WordPress. Current nonprofit-hosting guides report free shared hosting for eligible U.S. 501(c)(3)s, subject to the program's requirements. Itechguides Feeding Trends
• Donor-facing email: google.com with Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Eligible organizations can get custom-domain Gmail addresses such as donations@yourorg.org and hello@yourorg.org at no charge. Google's current documentation says the nonprofit edition supports up to 2,000 users. Google Support Google Support
• Domain: Keep your .org domain registered separately (or wherever it already is). Point its DNS records toward the website and Google Workspace.

This gives you a clean setup:

yourorg.org → website hosting
@yourorg.org → Gmail
donations@yourorg.org → donor inquiries
hello@yourorg.org → general inquiries
director@yourorg.org → individual staff address

Why I prefer this

Keep email independent from web hosting. If you eventually move the website from DreamHost to another host, your donor email doesn't have to move with it. Google also provides organizational storage, Drive, Docs, Calendar, Meet, and administrative controls as part of Workspace. Google Support

Avoid paying for email unnecessarily. The nonprofit Workspace offering can eliminate a recurring email bill if you're eligible. Google also provides administrator support. Google Support Google Support

It's easy for volunteers and board members to inherit. The organization's files and mailboxes stay under the nonprofit's accounts rather than being tied to one person's personal Gmail.

A good alternative

If your organization already lives in Word/Excel/Outlook, I'd seriously consider Microsoft 365 for Nonprofits instead. Microsoft offers nonprofit grants/discounts, and its ecosystem is particularly good if you're already an Office/Outlook organization. Microsoft Learn Microsoft Learn

I wouldn't use Google Workspace itself to host the public website just because you're getting Workspace free. Use it for email and collaboration; use a straightforward web host for the site.

Bottom line: for a small nonprofit with a basic informational/donation website, I'd start with DreamHost for the site + Google Workspace for Nonprofits for email. It's inexpensive, conventional, and avoids locking your website and email together.

For a small nonprofit, I’d recommend separating the website from email rather than looking for one provider to do everything.

My pick: simple web host + Google Workspace for Nonprofits

• Website: Use a straightforward WordPress host such as DreamHost, or another managed WordPress host. You mainly want reliable hosting, SSL, backups, and easy administration.
• Email: Use Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Eligible nonprofits currently get the nonprofit edition free, including Gmail on your own domain, shared calendars, Drive, Meet, and administrative controls. www.google.com
• You can create donor-facing addresses such as donations@yourorg.org, info@yourorg.org, and hello@yourorg.org. Google also supports aliases, so not every public-facing address needs its own paid mailbox. support.google.com

Why I like this setup: your website and email aren't dependent on each other. If you eventually move the website, your donor email stays exactly the same.

If you want maximum simplicity

DreamHost can provide both website hosting and domain-based email. Its basic email hosting currently starts at $1.67/mailbox/month on annual billing and includes 25 GB per mailbox, webmail, device synchronization, and spam/phishing protection. www.dreamhost.com

That's appealing if you only need a handful of addresses and don't need Gmail/Drive/Docs. However, I'd still choose Google Workspace for a nonprofit if you're eligible—the free nonprofit offering is hard to beat.

Another strong option: Microsoft 365

If the organization already lives in Word/Excel/Outlook, Microsoft 365 for Nonprofits is worth considering. Microsoft currently offers Business Basic as a free grant for up to 300 users, with custom email, Teams, 1 TB of storage per user, and web/mobile Office apps. www.microsoft.com

Bottom line:
Small nonprofit + simple website + professional donor email → managed WordPress hosting + Google Workspace for Nonprofits. It's inexpensive, professional, and gives you room to grow without making the setup complicated.

For a small nonprofit, I’d separate website hosting from email rather than buying an all-in-one hosting package.

My recommendation

Website: DreamHost
Email: Google Workspace for Nonprofits

Why this combination:

• Simple website: DreamHost is a good fit for a basic WordPress site and is particularly attractive if you’re an eligible U.S. 501(c)(3); current nonprofit-hosting comparisons report a free shared-hosting option for qualifying organizations. www.zeffy.com
• Professional donor email: Google Workspace for Nonprofits can provide addresses such as donations@yournonprofit.org, info@yournonprofit.org, and individual staff addresses. The nonprofit edition is currently available at no charge to eligible organizations. support.google.comsupport.google.com
• Better separation: Your website and email aren't tied together. If you eventually change website hosts, your donor-facing email keeps working.
• Easy administration: Gmail, shared calendars, Drive, Docs, and centralized user administration are included. Google currently lists 100 TB of pooled storage and the ability to add many users. support.google.comsupport.google.com

A simple setup I'd use

One caveat: Don't choose your web host primarily because it offers "free email." For a nonprofit communicating with donors, I'd much rather have Gmail/Google Workspace handling mail than have email bundled into a cheap shared-hosting account.

If you're not a U.S. 501(c)(3), or if you want the absolute simplest no-WordPress setup, I’d consider a different combination.

For a small nonprofit, I’d recommend splitting the website and email functions rather than trying to make one provider do everything.

My pick: DreamHost + Google Workspace for Nonprofits

• Website: DreamHost Web Hosting — its Launch plan is designed for simple sites and currently includes 25 GB storage, SSL, daily backups, and up to 20 mailboxes for the first three months. The promotional price is currently $2.89/month for the first year, with a higher renewal price afterward. www.dreamhost.comsupport.google.com
• Donor-facing email: Google Workspace for Nonprofits — eligible nonprofits can get Google Workspace at no charge, including Gmail on your organization's domain. You can have addresses such as donations@yourorg.org, info@yourorg.org, and individual staff addresses. support.google.com
• Why I like this setup: your website can remain inexpensive and simple, while email gets Gmail's much stronger deliverability, spam filtering, aliases, calendars, Drive, and administrative controls. Google specifically supports custom-domain email for nonprofits. support.google.com

Alternative: DreamHost for both

If absolute simplicity matters more than having Gmail, DreamHost can host both the site and domain email. Its current plans include email, and its Professional Email service provides 25 GB per mailbox. www.dreamhost.com

I'd choose this if you only need a handful of addresses and don't want to administer a separate Google Workspace account.

One important distinction

I'd use addresses like donations@yourorg.org for donor communication, but I would not use ordinary email as the mechanism for actually processing donations. Link donors from the site to your nonprofit's established donation processor/payment platform.

Bottom line: For most small nonprofits, DreamHost for the website + free Google Workspace for Nonprofits for email is the best balance of cost, professionalism, and ease of management. www.dreamhost.comsupport.google.com

If you tell me roughly how many staff email accounts you need and whether the website is WordPress or a simple brochure site, I can narrow this down to the cheapest practical setup.

For a small nonprofit, I’d separate the website from email rather than look for one provider to do everything.

My recommendation: Wix + Google Workspace for Nonprofits

• Website: Wix nonprofit website builder — very easy for a nontechnical volunteer/staff member to maintain, with hosting included. It also supports donation functionality and custom domains. www.wix.com
• Email: Google Workspace for Nonprofits — eligible nonprofits can get the nonprofit edition at no charge, including Gmail addresses on your own domain (e.g. info@yournonprofit.org, donations@yournonprofit.org). support.google.com

This gives you a clean setup like:

Why I like this combination: it's inexpensive, easy to hand off between volunteers, and doesn't require anyone to administer a traditional web server. Google specifically provides custom-domain email and centralized administration in its nonprofit offering. support.google.com

An even cheaper option

If you're a verified U.S. 501(c)(3) and want to minimize costs as much as possible, Free For Charity Hosting is worth investigating. It says it provides qualifying nonprofits with a website, .org domain, hosting, and Microsoft 365 email at no cost. freeforcharity.org

The tradeoff is that you're more dependent on a specialized nonprofit hosting provider, whereas Wix + Google is a more conventional setup.

Alternative: Squarespace + Google Workspace

If presentation/design matters more than having the simplest editor, Squarespace's nonprofit platform is another good choice. Squarespace supports nonprofit sites, donations, domains and marketing tools, and can integrate with Google Workspace for custom email. www.squarespace.com

Bottom line: I'd choose Wix + Google Workspace for Nonprofits for most small nonprofits. If you tell me roughly how many people need email addresses and whether the site needs online donations, I can narrow this down to the cheapest practical setup.

For a small nonprofit, I’d usually separate website hosting from email hosting rather than buy an all-in-one package. Your website and donor-facing email have different needs: the site needs reliability and easy updates; email needs strong spam protection, deliverability, and account management.

Here are the options I’d consider:

Best overall: WordPress hosting + Google Workspace for Nonprofits

Website: a managed WordPress host
Email: Google Workspace for Nonprofits

Why this is my top pick:

• Professional addresses like info@yourorg.org, donations@yourorg.org, director@yourorg.org
• Gmail interface most volunteers already understand
• Shared calendars, Google Drive, Docs, and file sharing
• Eligible nonprofits can get Google Workspace for Nonprofits at no cost (with nonprofit verification). support.google.com
• Easy handoff when board members or volunteers change roles

For the website, choose a simple managed WordPress host (examples: DreamHost, SiteGround, or similar) and use a nonprofit-friendly donation tool such as a donation form/plugin or a dedicated fundraising platform.

Typical cost:

• Domain: ~$10–20/year
• Website hosting: ~$5–25/month
• Email: potentially $0/month through Google for Nonprofits if eligible

Simplest “everything in one place”: Squarespace + email add-on

Good if:

• Your site is mostly informational
• You don’t want to manage WordPress updates
• You have few technical volunteers

Pros:

• Very easy editing
• Nice templates
• Low maintenance

Cons:

• Email usually comes separately
• Less flexibility for complex donation/event needs

Lowest-maintenance nonprofit setup: Website builder + dedicated donor platform

A common small nonprofit stack:

• Website: Squarespace, Wix, or WordPress
• Email: Google Workspace for Nonprofits
• Donations: a dedicated donation service (rather than trying to make your web host handle payments)

This avoids having your website provider become your donor database.

Budget option: one hosting account with email included

Some shared hosts bundle:

• WordPress hosting
• Domain
• Email mailboxes

This can work for a tiny organization with 1–3 addresses, but I’d be cautious for donor communication. Shared-host email often has weaker spam filtering and deliverability than Google/Microsoft-hosted email.

What I would choose for a small nonprofit

If you have a volunteer who can update a website:

• WordPress hosting
• Google Workspace for Nonprofits
• Donation platform integration

If nobody wants to touch technology:

• Squarespace/Wix
• Google Workspace for Nonprofits
• Separate donation service

Avoid:

• Using a personal Gmail address for donor communication
• Putting all email accounts on a cheap web host
• Choosing a “free website” provider that controls your domain

A few questions would narrow this down:

1. Is the nonprofit a registered 501(c)(3) (or similar outside the U.S.)?
2. How many email addresses do you need (e.g., 3 staff vs. 20 volunteers)?
3. Is the website just informational, or does it need online donations, events, memberships, or a donor portal?

For a small nonprofit, I’d recommend separating the website hosting from email rather than trying to find one provider that does both exceptionally well.

My pick: simple website host + Google Workspace for Nonprofits

1. Website: use a low-maintenance host such as DreamHost, especially if the site is WordPress-based.
2. Email: use Google Workspace for Nonprofits for addresses such as donations@yourorg.org, info@yourorg.org, and director@yourorg.org.

The big advantage is that eligible nonprofits can get Google Workspace for Nonprofits at $0/user/month, including Gmail with their own domain. Google currently lists 100 TB of pooled organizational storage and 150-person Meet meetings with the nonprofit plan. www.google.com

That makes the email side particularly attractive for a nonprofit with a small budget.

Why I prefer this setup

One important point: I wouldn't use your website host's email as the primary donor email system. Email is too important to fundraising and organizational continuity. Google Workspace gives you a much better foundation for staff/volunteer turnover, shared addresses, spam protection, calendars, Drive, and account administration.

Google says nonprofit verification is handled through Goodstack, and most requests are reviewed within roughly 2–14 business days. www.google.com

If you want the absolute simplest setup

You can use DreamHost for both. Its current email service starts at $1.67/mailbox/month on annual billing, and it also offers WordPress/web hosting. www.dreamhost.com

But if the organization qualifies for Google for Nonprofits, I'd take the small amount of extra setup and use Google Workspace for the email. It's a much better long-term choice for donor-facing communication.

Check Google for Nonprofits eligibility

If you tell me roughly how many staff/volunteers need email and what platform the current website uses (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, etc.), I can narrow this down to the cheapest practical setup and estimated annual cost.

For a small nonprofit, I’d separate the decision into two pieces:

1. Website hosting (your public site, donation pages, updates, events)
2. Organization email (e.g., info@yourorg.org, donations@yourorg.org, staff addresses)

My top recommendations:

My default recommendation for a small nonprofit

Best overall setup:

• Website: DreamHost (especially if you qualify for nonprofit hosting) or Hostinger
• Email: Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 nonprofit program
• Donations: Use a dedicated donation platform rather than trying to build payment handling yourself

This gives you:

• info@yourorg.org
• donations@yourorg.org
• director@yourorg.org
• shared calendars and documents
• a website someone nontechnical can update

If your needs are very simple

For a site with:

• About page
• Mission statement
• Staff/board page
• Events
• Contact form
• Donate button

I would avoid expensive managed hosting. A basic WordPress host plus proper email is enough.

If you expect donor growth

Prioritize:

• reliable email deliverability (important for donor trust)
• MFA/security controls
• backups
• easy volunteer handoff when board members change

I would not use the free email accounts that come bundled with many web hosts as your long-term donor communication system. They work, but dedicated email platforms are usually more reliable and easier to manage.

If you tell me:

1. whether you’re a U.S. 501(c)(3),
2. whether the site is already built (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, etc.), and
3. how many email addresses you need,

I can narrow this to a specific setup and estimated annual cost.

For a small Canadian nonprofit, I’d recommend separating the two jobs:

My pick: Web Hosting Canada + Google Workspace for Nonprofits

• Website: Web Hosting Canada — their nonprofit program offers discounted Canadian hosting, including SSL, a site builder, migration, and unlimited email accounts on its Pro plan. whc.ca
• Donor-facing email: Google Workspace — eligible nonprofits can get Google Workspace for Nonprofits at $0/user/month, including Gmail with addresses on your own domain, Drive, Calendar, Meet, Docs, and other tools. www.google.ca

So you could have addresses such as:

• info@yournonprofit.ca
• donations@yournonprofit.ca
• hello@yournonprofit.ca
• executivedirector@yournonprofit.ca

and have them managed through Gmail rather than relying on the web host's basic email system.

Why I'd choose this

Alternative: If your organization already lives in Word/Excel/Outlook, Microsoft 365 may be the better ecosystem. TechSoup Canada currently offers nonprofit Microsoft 365 plans, including Business Basic, which provides hosted email and web versions of Office. ca.cloud.techsoup.org

One important point: I wouldn't choose a hosting company primarily because it offers email. For a nonprofit, keeping your domain email in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 makes it much easier to transition between website hosts later without disrupting donor communications.

If you tell me roughly how many staff/volunteers need email (e.g. 3, 10, 25) and whether the site will be WordPress or just a simple informational site, I can narrow this to the cheapest sensible setup.

For a small nonprofit that needs a simple public website plus professional donor-facing email addresses, I’d usually avoid buying one “all-in-one” hosting package. The best setup is often:

1. A simple website host
2. A separate nonprofit-friendly email provider
3. A domain registrar you control

That gives you flexibility if you change website platforms later.

My top recommendation: WordPress hosting + Google Workspace for Nonprofits

Website: managed WordPress hosting

Good fits:

• DreamHost — nonprofit-friendly, simple WordPress hosting, and a good choice for small organizations that mostly need pages, blog posts, forms, and basic updates.
• SiteGround — strong support and easy WordPress management, though usually more expensive.
• WordPress.com — easiest for nontechnical volunteers, especially if you do not want to manage plugins or updates.

A typical nonprofit site needs:

• Home/about pages
• Mission and programs
• Donation button
• Volunteer/contact forms
• News/events posts
• Privacy policy and accessibility information

A basic shared WordPress plan is usually enough unless you have heavy traffic.

Email: Google Workspace for Nonprofits

For donor-facing addresses like:

• info@yournonprofit.org
• donations@yournonprofit.org
• director@yournonprofit.org

I would strongly consider Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Eligible nonprofits can receive Google Workspace services at no cost or discounted rates, including custom-domain Gmail addresses and collaboration tools. www.google.com

Advantages:

• Donors see a professional email domain
• Good spam filtering
• Shared calendars and Drive storage
• Easy handoff when volunteers or staff change
• Better long-term than email bundled with a web host

Lower-cost alternative

If you only need a few addresses and minimal collaboration:

• Website: Namecheap hosting or a simple WordPress host
• Email: Zoho Mail

This can be cheaper, but Google Workspace tends to be easier for volunteer-run organizations.

I would avoid

Email bundled with cheap web hosting

Examples: “unlimited email accounts” from a shared hosting company.

Problems:

• Weaker spam filtering
• Harder account management
• Less reliable for donor communications
• Painful migration later

Building a custom site too early

A small nonprofit usually does not need a custom-coded website. A good WordPress theme with donation integration is often enough.

A practical setup I’d choose for a small nonprofit

If the nonprofit is very small (1–5 people), this setup can often stay simple and affordable for years.

If you tell me:

• approximate annual budget,
• whether you already have a domain,
• number of email addresses needed,
• whether someone on the team can edit WordPress,

I can narrow it to a specific provider stack.

For a small nonprofit, I’d recommend a two-part setup: Wix for the website + Google Workspace for Nonprofits for email.

My pick

1. Website: Wix

• Very little technical maintenance—hosting, security, templates, and the site editor are handled for you.
• It has nonprofit-oriented templates and built-in options for donations and payment processing. www.wix.com
• Wix also has a TechSoup nonprofit offer that can provide 70% off a two-year Premium plan for eligible organizations. support.wix.com
• A nontechnical staff member or volunteer can update pages without touching code.

2. Email: Google Workspace for Nonprofits

This is the part I'd strongly recommend taking advantage of if you're eligible. Google currently offers Google Workspace for Nonprofits at $0/user/month, including Gmail with your own domain, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Meet, and other tools. www.google.com

So you could have addresses such as:

• info@yournonprofit.org
• donations@yournonprofit.org
• director@yournonprofit.org
• board@yournonprofit.org

Google says the nonprofit edition supports custom-domain email and currently includes 100 TB of shared organizational storage. support.google.com

Why I prefer this over an all-in-one host

You can try to get website hosting and email from one provider, but email is something I'd rather keep with a dedicated provider. Wix handles the simple website; Google handles the organization's identity, email, files, and calendars.

That also makes it easier to change website providers later without having to migrate everyone's email.

Rough setup

The main caveat is eligibility: Google requires the organization to be a qualifying charitable nonprofit and verifies organizations through Goodstack. www.google.com

If the nonprofit is very small (say 1–10 staff/volunteers), this is probably the simplest setup I'd choose. If you tell me roughly how many people need email and whether you already own a .org domain, I can suggest the cheapest specific configuration.

For a small nonprofit, I’d recommend separating website hosting from email rather than trying to make one provider do everything.

My top choice: WordPress.com + Google Workspace for Nonprofits

• Website: WordPress.com — managed WordPress hosting, so security, backups, updates, SSL, and hosting are handled for you. Current plans start at $4/month when billed annually. wordpress.com
• Email: Google Workspace for Nonprofits — eligible nonprofits can get the Nonprofits edition at no charge, including Gmail with addresses on your own domain. support.google.com
• You could have addresses such as donations@yournonprofit.org, info@yournonprofit.org, and individual staff addresses. Google supports aliases as well. support.google.com
• Domain: You can register a .org through WordPress.com (currently $12/year for a standard .org) or keep an existing domain registrar and point it at the site. wordpress.com

Why I like this setup: the website remains simple enough for a volunteer or nontechnical staff member to manage, while donor-facing email gets Gmail's mature spam filtering, search, calendar, and authentication features. And if the nonprofit qualifies, the email portion can be essentially free.

Good alternative: Microsoft 365 + Azure

If the organization already lives in Outlook/Word/Excel/Teams, Microsoft can make more sense. Microsoft offers nonprofit grants/discounts, including a $2,000/year Azure credit that can be used for web hosting, plus discounted Microsoft 365 offerings. learn.microsoft.com

I'd choose this over Google if the staff already strongly prefers Microsoft 365.

What I would not do

I wouldn't make the website host's included email the primary donor mailbox just to keep everything under one bill. Website hosting and email have different needs, and nonprofit eligibility makes Google Workspace particularly attractive.

Bottom line: WordPress.com for the website + Google Workspace for Nonprofits for email + a .org domain is probably the best combination of simplicity, reliability, and low ongoing cost for a small nonprofit.

If you tell me roughly how many staff need email (e.g. 3, 5, 10) and whether the site is new or already exists, I can give you a concrete setup and estimated annual cost.

For a small nonprofit, I’d usually avoid putting website hosting and donor email in the same basket unless the organization is very small. A good setup is:

• Website host: optimized for simple updates, donations, and reliability
• Email provider: professional name@yourorg.org addresses with good spam protection and deliverability

Here are the options I’d consider:

www.zeffy.com

My recommended setups

1. Best overall for a small nonprofit (my default choice)

• Website: DreamHost WordPress hosting (if eligible)
• Email: Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
• Donations: embed a dedicated donation platform rather than handling credit cards directly in WordPress

Why: the website stays simple, while donor communications come from a system designed for email reliability. www.zeffy.com

2. Lowest-cost setup

• Website + email: a bundled host such as Hostinger or DreamHost
• Good for: a small organization with 1–5 email addresses and a brochure-style site

3. “We don’t want to maintain WordPress” setup

• Website: Wix or Squarespace
• Email: Google Workspace or Microsoft 365

This is often easier for volunteers who only update pages occasionally. learn.goodhearttech.org

Features I would require

For a donor-facing nonprofit site, make sure you have:

• Custom domain (@yourorg.org)
• SSL/HTTPS
• Automatic backups
• SPF, DKIM, and DMARC email authentication
• A donation form from a reputable provider
• At least two admins (not one person’s personal account)
• Easy volunteer handoff when staff changes

A practical small nonprofit stack

A very common “set it and forget it” arrangement:

• Domain: registrar of your choice
• Website: WordPress on DreamHost/SiteGround or a simple builder
• Email: Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
• Donations: Donorbox, Givebutter, Zeffy, or similar
• Newsletter: Mailchimp, MailerLite, or Constant Contact

If you tell me:

1. whether you are a US 501(c)(3),
2. approximate number of email accounts needed (e.g., 3 vs 30), and
3. whether the site needs online donations/events/forms,

I can narrow this to a specific recommendation and budget.

For a small U.S. nonprofit, I’d recommend separating the two jobs:

Best overall: DreamHost + Google Workspace for Nonprofits

• Website: DreamHost — If you're a qualifying U.S. 501(c)(3), DreamHost currently offers a free shared-hosting plan for the life of the account, including SSL and email hosting. techempower.notion.site
• Donor-facing email: Google Workspace for Nonprofits — qualifying nonprofits can get the basic Workspace edition at no cost, including Gmail on your own domain. support.google.com

So you could have addresses such as:

donate@yournonprofit.org
info@yournonprofit.org
director@yournonprofit.org

…and a straightforward website at yournonprofit.org.

Why I'd choose this

Google Workspace is the important part. I wouldn't use a web host's included email as the organization's primary donor-facing mail unless the budget is extremely constrained. Gmail gives you a much more familiar interface, better collaboration, calendar/Drive integration, and an easier path when staff or volunteers change.

DreamHost keeps the website inexpensive. For a simple brochure-style nonprofit site—mission, programs, staff, events, donation button, contact information—you don't need expensive managed hosting. DreamHost's nonprofit offer is particularly attractive if you qualify. techempower.notion.site

One alternative worth considering

If the organization already lives in Microsoft 365/Outlook, I'd use Microsoft 365 for Nonprofits for email instead. Microsoft currently provides nonprofit grants and discounted Microsoft 365 plans to eligible organizations. learn.microsoft.com

I would not pay for both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 just for email.

My stack for a typical 5–10-person nonprofit:
Domain registrar → DreamHost website → Google Workspace email → existing donation processor embedded/linked from the site.

If you tell me roughly how many staff/volunteer email accounts you need and whether the site will be WordPress or just a simple informational site, I can recommend the cheapest sensible setup and estimated annual cost.
