Notes on hosting pricing, price changes and deals
Our comparison guides are evergreen and updated quarterly. This is where shorter, dated pieces go — price changes, provider news, and the Black Friday tracker.
The centrepiece is the price check: every quarter we read all four providers’ own pricing pages, record the intro rate, the renewal rate and the term, and screenshot the page we read it from. Over time that becomes something no marketing claim can argue with — a dated record of what hosting actually cost.
