Everyone quotes you year one. We price year three.
Hosting is sold on a discount that expires in twelve months. We calculate the renewal, the add-ons you will be forced to buy and the tax — then rank plans for your use case and show the arithmetic.
Sample figures — edit them. Coupons are excluded from ranking and shown separately.
Five questions. Then measurement, not marketing.
Your answers add a 0–20 fit score to each plan; the data score itself does not change. A WooCommerce store and a personal blog do not get the same list — and neither gets a list we were paid to produce.
Tell us what you are building
Blog, store, agency, SaaS, domain portfolio. "I'm not sure" is a valid answer — the engine works it out.
We price it over 36 months
Renewal, forced extras, tax, and the things your use case needs that the plan leaves out.
You see the reasoning
Every score opens into its components and penalties. Every warning says what it cost the plan.

Some providers pay us a commission. It changes nothing about the order. See the rule
Six things no other comparison site does.
- 01
Real 36-month cost
First term, both renewals, forced add-ons and tax. Cheap plans routinely become the most expensive by year three.
- 02
Renewal shock warning
When renewal far exceeds the promo price the plan loses points and the card carries a flag — before you click.
- 03
Hidden limit engine
"Unlimited" is matched against the real inode, CPU and entry-process caps buried in the terms.
- 04
Honest gaps
A number we could not verify is shown as unknown — never estimated, never filled in to look complete.
- 05
Discount authenticity
Every coupon is checked against the renewal price, not the inflated "regular" price. "70% off" is usually much less.
- 06
Explainable ranking
Each result says why it fits you, what it lost points for, and what we assumed.
"70% off" is usually not 70% off.
We keep every price we have ever recorded. When a host advertises a discount, we measure it against the renewal price the plan actually charges — not an inflated "regular" price.
