Web hosting prices compared
The cheapest host in year one is rarely the cheapest over three years. Here's what every host we review costs up front and after renewal, sorted by three-year cost.
Entry plans, US dollars before tax, checked October 2026. Three-year estimates use the intro price for the first term and the renewal price after that.
