Before you pick one

Why does web hosting get more expensive after the first year?

Because the advertised price is an introductory rate for your first term only. Across the hosts on this site the renewal price averages about 3.5 times the intro rate, and reaches 8 times at IONOS. It is disclosed in the provider's terms, just rarely next to the number in the large font. Full explanation here.

How much should web hosting actually cost?

For a small site, $3 to $6 a month is normal once the introductory period ends — not the $1 to $3 you see advertised. Over three years the hosts we track range from about $29 to $1,260 depending on the tier and how long the intro rate is locked. Use the true cost calculator to price your own term rather than guessing from a monthly figure.

Is cheap web hosting any good?

Often yes, for the first term. The question is what happens after it. A host at $2.89 that holds the rate for 36 months is genuinely cheap; one at $2.99 that holds it for 12 and renews at $17.99 is not. Cheap is a property of the whole term, not the first month.

Should I buy hosting for one year or three?

The intro rate applies for the whole first term, so a longer term is real value — but it is billed in full up front, and refunds after the money-back window are usually pro-rata at best. Buy the longest term you are genuinely confident the site will still exist for, and no longer.
