How We Rank
For each host we take the plan with the lowest intro price and rank by its renewal (regular) monthly rate, as listed on the host's pricing page.
Prices come from each host's own pricing page and are in USD, before tax. They change often, so confirm the current price before you buy. Rankings are calculated from these numbers alone. We may earn a commission from some links; see ouraffiliate disclosure.
FAQ
Do hosting renewal prices go up?
At most budget hosts, yes: the first term is discounted and renewals are charged at the regular rate. A few hosts charge the same price from day one.
