These are hosting-only payment estimates. All-in TCO remains unknown until domain, email, backup and tax charges are established. Domain and email prices are unverified for these selections; included backup features and refund windows vary by plan. Add taxes, paid extras and the exact checkout renewal schedule before deciding. A lower five-year number can involve more cash paid at signup. Customize the calculator.

NEXT STEP

Two hosts to compare

For a starter website where the starting cost matters, compare these two hosts and check the full amount due at checkout.

First to inspect

Hostinger

Useful starting point for a new site on a tight initial budget.

Why inspect it: Beginner-friendly setup and a low promotional entry point.

Check before paying: The headline offer requires a long prepaid term; verify the cart and renewal price.

Read our Hostinger review
Another option

DreamHost

Compare another entry plan with a different mix of term and renewal options.

Why inspect it: Straightforward WordPress hosting with term choices and published renewal details.

Check before paying: Compare the exact term and plan: one-year and four-year offers have different prices.

These are editorial starting points based on your site type and priority. Your entered rates describe the plan you are evaluating; they are not prices for the hosts above. Check each plan's current checkout terms before comparing totals.

READ THE RESULT CORRECTLY

What the calculator includes—and what it cannot know

Included

The promotional monthly equivalent, full required promotional term, renewal rate and billing term, one-time required costs, recurring yearly extras, and the planning period you select.

Verify separately

Taxes, currency conversion, regional pricing, mid-term upgrades, domain renewal, mailbox limits, backup products, premium support, and refund exclusions.

This calculator is an independent planning tool. Its total counts required prepaid hosting terms even when they extend beyond the selected horizon. It does not include refunds. It does not retrieve a provider’s checkout cart and does not guarantee future prices.
