Cheapest web hosting at renewal, 2026

Comparison sites rank hosts by the intro price, which buys the first term. This page ranks the cheapest plan of each host by the renewal price, which buys every term after it, and by the 3-year total on the cheapest purchasable path. Verified 2026-10-16.

Rows marked honor roll meet the honor roll test: their renewal is within 25% of the intro price, they print that price on the pricing page, and nothing dated is on their record. That is a narrower thing than the Index band called "clean record", which only means no dated incident in my window and which a host with a +298% renewal can hold. Cheap and clean are different questions, and a host can be either without being both.

By renewal price

Hosts whose renewal price is not published are left out of this table rather than guessed; they appear on the full renewal price table marked unverified.

By 3-year total

The 3-year total is the cheapest purchasable way to cover 36 months: the intro term at the intro price, then every remaining month at the renewal price. † marks the cases where buying a longer term than 3 years is the cheapest path; you keep the extra months. Pick a different period on the true cost calculator.

How to read the two lists

A host near the top of both lists is cheap now and cheap later. A host high on the 3-year list but low on the renewal list is cheap only while the intro term lasts; the renewal calendar tells you the day that ends. Every number links to the page it was observed on.
