Reading notes

Initial terms and billing units differ. Renewal figures use each provider’s recorded billing basis. Prices are observations, not checkout quotes; tax and extras may apply. No currency conversion.

✓ Included · − Not included · ! Conditions or paid extras apply. A dash (—) means no sourced fact for that plan, not “not included”. Plan details contain the sources and their check dates.

Choosing hosting: scope, cost & recovery
How we compare

Every company appears once. Change plan to see its recorded options. Compare the commitment, renewal, limits and fit, not just the advertised rate. Approved affiliate partners appear first when available. This display order is not a quality ranking and does not use commission amounts. The selected plan level is preserved when choosing or replacing a plan. Similar levels can still have different site licences, storage, sending allowances and billing terms. All prices use USD references; the final quote can depend on billing country and tax. Feature and price checks have separate dates.
