Renewal Price Index
What hosting really costs at renewal
On 10 Nov 2026 we read the entry-plan prices of large web hosts from their own pages: 8 of 15 could be read. For the six whose renewal we could compare on the same term, the monthly price rose by between 58.8% (OVHcloud India) and 804.0% (SiteGround) after the first term; four of them showed sale prices that day. Our plans renew at the price you sign up at. Any change needs 30 days’ notice.

November 2026 edition
Intro price against renewal price
Read on 10 Nov 2026. Prices per month, as each host’s page showed them. Amounts in different currencies can’t be compared with each other; the jump can.
Notes
- Sale prices. Hostinger, SiteGround and GreenGeeks showed Black Friday prices on the day they were read, and DreamHost’s card was marked “On Sale”. The jump for these rows is from the sale price.
- IONOS. Its card reads “$4 /month with a 1-year term, Then only $8/month” without saying the term of the $8, and the IONOS General Terms (updated 21 Oct 2026, section 2.2) say minimum-term packages continue month to month. The renewal term is not confirmed, so we compute no jump.
- MilesWeb. Its hero says the ₹69/mo plan keeps the same price at renewal, while the same page’s comparison table lists MilesWeb at ₹99/mo for the first 36 months with a renewal price of ₹219/mo. Until MilesWeb says which applies, we compute no jump.
- HostLelo. HostLelo’s rows are our own pages, read the same day. Our plans renew at the price you sign up at, for the same billing term. Any change needs 30 days’ notice. It applies from your next renewal, never mid-term; see our Terms of Service.

Method
How we read the prices
- Plan
- The entry plan: the plan with the lowest regular (renewal) price in the host’s shared or web hosting line. Where no price could be read, the first plan the page lists.
- Term
- The term the host’s own pricing page shows next to its intro price, which is the headline offer. The renewal is recorded for the same term. Hostinger shows only 48 months, Bluehost and MilesWeb 36; their intro prices exist only on those terms.
- Intro price
- The price per month shown to a new customer for the first term, with no coupon code. Sale prices shown without a code count, and are labelled as sale prices.
- Renewal price
- The price per month the host’s own pricing page or official terms state for the same plan after the first term.
- Jump
- (renewal − intro) ÷ intro × 100, to one decimal. Computed only when both prices were read on the same term.
- Currency
- As the storefront showed it: US dollars for global storefronts, rupees for MilesWeb and OVHcloud’s India storefront. Storefronts can change price and currency by visitor location, and the reader’s location was not controlled. Amounts in different currencies cannot be compared with each other; the jump can.
- Tax
- Prices as shown. Most exclude tax; Hostinger and GreenGeeks print no tax wording.
- Reading
- Public pages only, read with an automated page reader: no login, no checkout, no JavaScript, and no block worked around. A page that answered HTTP 403, or showed prices only after JavaScript, is listed as not readable, with no figure.
- Which hosts
- The largest hosts by share of all websites on W3Techs, kept when they sell shared web hosting self-serve at a price on their own site, with an India or UAE storefront or a main storefront in US dollars. One row per brand that runs its own storefront. Size is from W3Techs’ hosting-provider ranking, read 10 Nov 2026.
