“Not stated” means the official plans page shows no separate renewal rate; its 3-year figure assumes the price stays the same. USD and EUR plans are listed in their own currency and are not converted. Prices exclude tax unless the provider includes it. Published list prices, not lab tests.
Method
For each plan we record the promotional monthly price, the length of the promo term and the monthly renewal price from the provider’s official pricing page (US view, longest promo term shown). Jump = renewal ÷ intro. 3-year total = intro × promo months + renewal × remaining months. Price changes are recorded in the price & update log.

Frequently asked questions
Which hosting plan has the biggest renewal jump?
In our index (checked 21 Oct 2026), SiteGround StartUp has the biggest jump: $2.99/mo intro to $17.99/mo, 6.0× the promo price.
How is the renewal jump calculated?
Renewal monthly price divided by the promotional monthly price, both taken from the provider's official pricing page for the same plan and term. A value of 1.0× means there is no promo-then-renewal increase.
