🎯 Not sure?
Five quick questions and we'll match you to your best three options.
The renewal price trap
Every shared host advertises a tiny first-year price. Almost none tell you what you'll pay next year. The renewal price is usually 2–7× the intro rate — and that's what you'll actually pay for 90% of your time with them.
We show both. On every host page. See our renewal-price comparison →

Why trust this site?
Because we're independent and we say so when we're not. We're not owned by any host. Where we use affiliate links — links that pay us a small commission if you sign up — they're marked, they never affect our verdicts, and they cost you nothing extra. The full disclosure is on our privacy and disclosure page.
Hosting pricing moves with every promotion, so every page shows when it was last verified. Spot something stale or wrong? Tell us — we genuinely want to know.
