About this site

Best Web Hosting Deals compares web hosting on what it costs over the life of a website rather than what it costs in month one.

The idea came from a simple frustration: search for hosting recommendations and you get a hundred pages of near-identical listicles, all quoting introductory prices, all ranked in an order that correlates suspiciously well with commission rates. The number that determines what you actually spend — the renewal rate — is usually absent.

So this site leads with it. Every comparison shows the intro price, the renewal price, the term you have to commit to, and the four-year total. Sometimes that makes the cheapest-looking option the most expensive one, which is exactly the point.

Who writes it

Best Web Hosting Deals is written and maintained by its independent owner, who has no employment or ownership ties to any hosting company. Every price on the site is checked against the provider’s own pricing page and stamped with the month it was verified; the methodology page explains exactly what is and is not tested. Corrections and questions go to the contact page.

How this is funded

Affiliate commissions. When you buy hosting through a link here, the provider pays us and you pay the same price you would have paid anyway. We think that model is fine as long as the incentives are visible, so we publish them: see how we review and our affiliate disclosure.

Corrections

Hosting prices move. If something here is out of date or wrong, let us know and we will fix it and note the change.
