The fine print, by host
Three things the pricing page says in small type, read for each host's cheapest plan: the bundled domain and its term, the money-back window, and the intro term you must prepay. 12 of 27 hosts bundle a domain for 12 months, 4 state that none is included, and 11 do not say. 20 state a money-back window, most often 30 days. Verified 2026-10-16.
No affiliate links yet. The "Visit" buttons go straight to the vendor and earn me nothing: no programme has accepted me. If that changes, this line changes with it. Prices shown are observed on the vendor's own page, never chosen by me. Details.

"Not stated" means the pricing page I read does not mention it; it may still exist in the host's terms. A bundled domain usually renews at the host's own domain price from the second year, which is not part of these tables; check the host page's notes. Every row links the host page with the sentence sources.
