Honest pricing
Hosting without the renewal price trap
The cheap first-year price that doubles or triples in year two is the oldest trick in hosting. We do not play it. The price you sign up at is the real price, not an introductory offer that jumps at renewal. And if pricing ever changes, existing customers get 30 days’ notice first. No teaser rates, no bait-and-switch, no required multi-year prepay.

The trap
The renewal bill nobody warns you about
The advertised price is rarely the price you pay for long. Here is what the first renewal looks like at hosts that bait with intro pricing.
SiteGround
StartUp renews from about $2.99/mo to $17.99/mo at the 12-month regular rate, roughly six times the intro, per SiteGround’s own pricing KB.
Hostinger
Premium renews from about $2.99/mo to $10.99/mo and Business from about $3.99 to $16.99/mo, a 3 to 4x jump on the official pricing page.
Bluehost
Starter renews from about $3.99/mo to $9.99/mo and Pro from $9.99 to $16.99/mo, roughly 1.5x to 2.5x, after a required 36-month prepay.
GoDaddy
Managed WordPress Basic commonly renews from about $5.99 to $6.99/mo intro to roughly $14.99/mo, with reviewers citing 100 to 200 percent year-two increases.
DreamHost
Shared tiers renew roughly 160 to 171 percent above intro, so a year-one Launch plan near $35/yr can renew near $96/yr for the same service.
Renewal figures above are from public, dated pricing pages, KBs, and reviews, and are reviewed before publishing. Confirm current rates on each host’s own site.

Questions
Honest pricing, answered
- How is your pricing different from a teaser rate?
- We do not use bait-and-switch intro pricing. The price you sign up at is the real price, set fairly from day one, not a promotional rate with a built-in jump at the first renewal.
- Can your prices ever change?
- Honest pricing means not pretending prices are frozen forever. What we promise is no bait-and-switch: no teaser rate designed to jump at renewal, and if pricing ever changes, existing customers get 30 days’ notice first.
- Is there a catch, like a required multi-year contract?
- No. You do not have to prepay for years to get a fair rate, and there is no hidden usage meter that piles charges on top of your plan.
- What about overage or add-on fees?
- Essentials like SSL, backups, and security are included, not billed separately. We do not charge visit-based overages, so a busy month does not turn into a surprise bill.
- What if I want to leave?
- You are covered by our 45-day money-back guarantee, and we make leaving as easy as joining. Honest pricing means we earn your renewal, we do not trap it.
