US web hosting prices
The lowest renewal price for a shared hosting plan here is $4.66 a month, for Namecheap Stellar. 35 shared hosting plans from 11 hosting companies, with the first-term price, the term it needs and the renewal price as each seller’s own page shows them. Last verified October 18, 2026.
The lowest renewal price of each company
The lowest monthly renewal price among each company’s tracked shared hosting plans, lowest first. The renewal price is what the page says the plan costs after the first term. Plans differ in websites, storage and features; this compares prices only.
How each figure was reached
For each company, the lowest renewal price per month among its tracked plans, as the page states it. Namecheap states its renewal prices per year; the figure here is that yearly price divided by 12 and rounded to the cent ($55.88 a year is $4.66 a month). GoDaddy is left out because its page states no renewal price. Read October 18, 2026.
First-term price vs renewal price
Plans whose page shows both a first-term price and a renewal price, ordered by how much higher the renewal price is in percentage terms. On all 31, it is higher. The first-term price usually applies only when the whole term is paid up front.

How this page works
- Each price is the US price shown on the seller’s own page on the date it was read, in US dollars, as printed, per month.
- "First term" is the term the page shows by default, and "First-term price" the monthly price it shows for that term. Terms differ between companies (12, 36 or 48 months); other terms are not tracked, except Bluehost’s 12-month prices, which are in Conditions.
- "Renews at" is the renewal price the page states. Where the page shows only a struck-through price and no renewal price (GoDaddy), the renewal price is "not stated": a struck-through price is not necessarily what the company charges at renewal.
- Nothing on this page is an estimate. The only worked-out figures are Namecheap’s monthly renewal price (its stated yearly renewal price divided by 12), the lowest renewal price per company, and the differences and percentages in the first-term table and Quick answers.
- This page has no affiliate links. Source links are plain links to each seller’s own page. The page compares prices only; it does not rate speed, uptime, support or the companies, and makes no recommendation.
Coverage, known gaps and method
Coverage and known gaps
Included: shared web hosting plans (and DreamHost’s DreamPress 1 managed WordPress plan, sold on the same page) from eleven hosting companies, at the term each page shows by default.
Not included: VPS, cloud server and dedicated hosting; reseller hosting; website builders (tracked separately); domain names (tracked separately); add-ons such as email, backups or SSL upgrades; month-to-month prices not shown on the plan cards. WP Engine is left out because it sells managed WordPress hosting only, with no shared hosting plan; Liquid Web because its pricing page could not be read.
How each page was read: every page was read in a web browser in the United States on October 18, 2026; term tabs and switches were opened with a real click and renewal prices shown in information tips were read on hover. Plain-text versions were read as a cross-check; where they showed placeholders or no prices (HostGator, Network Solutions, Hosting.com) or differed from the page as displayed (Hostinger), the browser read is used and the source notes say so.
Method
Each seller’s own pricing page is opened and read directly. The first-term price, the term, the renewal price and every qualifier printed with them are recorded with the page URL and the date. Third-party sites are never used as a source. A change is logged only when the seller’s own page changes; first-term offers change often, and each change is logged as an offer change. If a figure on this page is wrong, the correction goes in the change log below rather than being edited silently.
