The $3.44/month shared hosting headline exists only on a 24-month prepayment of $82.59 — and biennial plans are the one cycle the 30-day refund policy excludes; monthly on the same plan is $4.39.
Last updated:
$4.39 billed monthly; the card reads Renews at $4.39 monthly. Cancel anytime. Monthly and annual plans on the shared line are the cycles the 30-day refund policy covers, so this is one of the two ways to keep a refund right
$3.44 2 years prepaid, $82.59 once ($82.59 ÷ 24 = $3.4413/month, calculated). The card reads Renews at $3.44 /mo for 2 years. Cancel anytime., while /terms says renewal is at the then-current, non-promotional rate — both originals are quoted and this page does not adjudicate between them
$5.52 2 years prepaid (the card reads Renews at $5.52 /mo for 2 years.). Switching the same page to Monthly gives $6.89/month, struck from $9.29 with a Save 25% badge and the notice Renews at $6.89 monthly. The VPS line refunds nothing on yearly or longer cycles, so only the monthly cycle sits inside the 30-day window
$16.10 2 years prepaid (struck from $27.07, badged Save 40%, card reads Renews at $16.10 /mo for 2 years.); the monthly price on that page was not read. The VPS refund rule is the same for Linux and Windows: yearly, biennial and triennial cycles are excluded
$37.72 2 years prepaid (struck from $63.01, Save 40%, card reads Renews at $37.72 /mo for 2 years.). The page header says Try it out for 30 days. Get a full refund if you're not happy! while the refund policy gives VDS 7 days and requires the order to be under $96.50 — both originals are quoted, not reconciled
$10.49 first year $10.49/year (struck from $17.48, badged -40%); the same table prints the renewal at $16.99/year (a +61.9% step, calculated). Domain purchases are outside the refund policy on every cycle — the exclusion list names Domain name purchases
The cheapest sustainable renewal rate in shared hosting — $7/month after a $2.50 first month, billed month to month with no multi-year prepay, and unlimited storage, transfer, email and FTP included.
Best for: Anyone who has been burned by a renewal invoice and now compares the post-discount rate first: $7/month against SiteGround's $17.99, about $220 saved over three years
Root-access cloud VPS from $2.50/month, billed hourly with a monthly cap — 11 plans from 512 MB to 96 GB, and upgrades keep your data and IP.
Best for: Developers who want root access and are willing to run their own server
Hourly cloud compute and per-GPU hourly GPU rental — from $2.50/month for 1 vCPU and 0.5 GB of RAM, with the first tier that has usable memory at $6, up to 192 vCPU and an NVIDIA A16 at $0.471 per GPU per hour.
Best for: Work that needs GPU compute for a few hours rather than a permanent GPU server — per-GPU hourly billing keeps an experiment at a few dollars
