Build a renewal budget
Use the renewal rate when deciding whether a site is affordable to maintain. An inexpensive first year gives you time to build the site, but it does not set the budget for the years after it.
Extras, renewals & cancellation
Keep these items separate from the hosting-only totals. Check the selected offer and your account’s renewal notice before paying.
| Included services | The listed plans include SSL, CDN, email and daily backups. These inclusions can reduce separate subscriptions, but check the features and limits your site needs. Provider source ↗ |
|---|---|
| Domain renewal | Domain renewal is normally separate from hosting; some special promotions can waive it. Check the domain’s own price, expiration date and renewal listing in your account. Provider source ↗ |
| Automatic renewal timing | Hosting with a renewal period of at least 12 months is charged automatically 15 days before expiration. Review your term and auto-renew settings in advance. Provider source ↗ |
| Cancellation and refunds | Shared hosting has a 30-day money-back period. Renewal refunds depend on requesting cancellation within 30 days of payment and whether the new term has started. Check the policy for deductions and excluded services. Provider source ↗ |
How to compare this host
StartUp is worth comparing for a single site that fits its storage allowance. With several sites, evaluate GrowBig and GoGeek against the combined storage and maintenance work. Judge included tools by whether they replace an expense you would otherwise pay, rather than treating every feature as a saving.
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.
