Web Hosting True Cost Calculator

Hosts advertise a low intro price, then renewal pricing quietly multiplies it. This tool shows the real average monthly cost you will actually pay once the promo ends — over 1, 2 or 3 years.

Intro prices from ToolsRanks research (verified, "from" rates). Renewal is your estimate — confirm it on the host's checkout page.
The discounted price usually applies only for this first term.
Your estimate — most shared hosts renew at 2x to 4x the intro. Check the host's renewal terms.

Tired of the renewal jump?

These hosts bill at a flat monthly rate (no intro-then-spike game) or are widely picked for predictable pricing. Links go to each host's official site. Always confirm current pricing before buying.

Affiliate disclosure: some links below are affiliate links — if you buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

How the math works: Total = (intro/mo x intro months) + (renewal/mo x remaining months). True avg/month = Total ÷ total months you stay. If you stay no longer than the intro term, you never reach renewal pricing.
