Prices:
These are two of the cheapest web hosts out there. NameCheap lives up to their name, with shared hosting can cost as low as $9.88/year, which comes out to about $0.82/month. As for One.com, aside from their extremely cheap Starter plan (costing just $.25/month), their next cheapest plan is their Professional plan, which costs $2.50/month.
