Who prints the renewal price
The intro price is on every pricing page. The renewal price, the one you pay for years, is sometimes printed next to it, sometimes shown only in the cart, and sometimes not published at all. This page sorts 27 hosts by where I found it. The Index halves a host's cliff points when the renewal is printed on the pricing page: a disclosed cliff is a discount with a visible end date.
Printed on the pricing page (24)
The renewal price sits next to the intro price, or in the small print under the plan card. You can see the cliff before you buy.

Stated somewhere else (3)
The renewal price is published, but you cannot read it beside the intro price: either it lives on another page, such as a help article or terms, or the sentence on the pricing page sends you to an account or a cart for the number. I quote the sentence and link it.

I could not find a renewal price anywhere public. The calculator shows these plans as renewal unverified rather than guessing.

Grouping follows the Index inputs: printed means the renewal sentence was read from the pricing page itself; checkout-only and not-on-page are the opacity flags that add 8 and 4 points. Verified 2026-10-16; every row links the host page with the full quote and its archive copy where I have one.
