How Renewal Pricing Works (Your Plan Renews at the Same Price)

Updated 23 July 20265 min read

Every hosting plan here renews at the same price you signed up at — there is no discounted first year that quietly jumps at renewal. The one thing that does change from year two is the free domain bundled with your plan: its first year is on us, and after that it renews at the normal domain rate, which is published on our domain pricing page before you ever buy.

How our pricing works

In the industry it's common to see very low intro prices — sometimes under $2/mo — that renew three or four times higher in year two. We don't do that: the plan price on the card is the price your plan renews at, every year, for as long as you keep it.

All plans are billed annually, so one invoice a year covers your hosting. Your renewal invoice for the plan itself is the same figure you paid on day one.

What changes from year two: your free domain

Hosting plans include one free domain registration (.com, .net, .org, .xyz or .info) for the first year. From year two the domain renews at its standard rate — for example, a .com renews at the renewal price shown on our domain pricing page. It appears as its own line on its own invoice, so you can always see exactly what is hosting and what is domain.

  • Year one: hosting plan price only — the domain is free.
  • Year two onwards: the same hosting plan price, plus your domain's normal renewal.
  • Domain renewal prices are listed next to registration prices on the domain pricing page — checked before you buy, never a surprise after.

Seeing exactly what you'll pay

  • Every plan card says "renews at the same price" — that's literal, not marketing.
  • In your client area, upcoming invoices show the exact amount and date ahead of time.
  • If your needs have changed, renewal time is a good moment to right-size your plan up or down rather than auto-renewing a plan that no longer fits.

FAQ

Quick answers

Will my hosting price go up at renewal?

No. Your plan renews at the price you signed up at. The only addition from year two is your domain's normal renewal fee if you claimed the free first-year domain — and that rate is published on the domain pricing page before you buy anything.

Why did a domain charge appear on my second-year billing?

The domain bundled with your hosting plan is free for the first year only. From year two it renews at the standard rate for its extension, billed as its own line item. Your hosting plan price itself is unchanged. If you'd rather not keep the domain, you can let it expire without affecting your hosting.
