Build a renewal budget
If you might switch to annual billing later, budget with that annual renewal rate now. Also check whether trial services will continue automatically before accepting the first checkout total.
Extras, renewals & cancellation
Keep these items separate from the hosting-only totals. Check the selected offer and your account’s renewal notice before paying.
| Domain | Eligible offers include a domain for the first year. Renewals are separate after that; the domain extension and any added services determine the later charge. Provider source ↗ |
|---|---|
| Optional Professional Email | The advertised one-month trial renews at $2.50/month. Confirm the number of mailboxes and billing term; this charge is not included in the hosting totals. Provider source ↗ |
| Changing the renewal term | Starter is listed at $11.99/month equivalent for 12-month renewal ($143.88 total), versus $9.99/month for 36 months ($359.64 total). Month-to-month renewal is listed at $15.99. Confirm the current rate in the Renewal Center. Provider source ↗ |
| Refunds and add-ons | The 30-day hosting refund does not cover every add-on. A free domain’s regular cost is deducted if hosting is canceled in the refund window; review the final offer’s terms before paying. Provider source ↗ |
How to compare this host
Separate the number of sites you can create from the amount of storage they share. A three-year commitment can reduce the monthly equivalent, but only choose it if the total payment and the length of the commitment fit your plans. Compare commerce features against the plugins or services your store already uses.
Before committing, make a list of the site, email and domain services you will keep. Add their renewal charges to the hosting total, then compare the same period across providers. Our upfront-cost calculator can help you check the first bill.
