Hosting deals, with the renewal price attached.
Every hosting review site shows you $2.99 a month. Almost none show you the $10.99 you pay in month 49 — or that you are committing to four years upfront to get the lower number. We publish both, run the arithmetic, and let you decide.

Intro prices require paying the full promo term upfront. “4-year true cost” is the promo term at the intro rate plus the remaining months at the renewal rate — the number the pricing page does not show you. Verified September 2026. See the screenshots these figures were read from.

Our current picks
How we choose →Hostinger Unlimited
Hostinger Unlimited is the plan we point most people to. 50 GB of NVMe storage, unlimited sites and daily backups included — the tier below gets weekly backups only, which is the difference between losing a day of work and losing a week.
Check current price Read the comparisonBluehost Starter
Bluehost Starter costs more on day one and less on day 1,096. At $9.99 renewal it is the cheapest mainstream host to actually keep, which matters more than the intro rate if the site is a keeper.
Check current price Read the comparisonSiteGround StartUp
SiteGround wins on the things you only care about at 2am: in-house 24/7 phone support, and free daily backups with 30 days of history on every plan. It is also the steepest renewal here, and StartUp holds exactly one site.
