Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the hosting tools.

View All FAQs
Are the tools free to use?
Yes. All three tools are free and need no account. Only the price tracker's email alert asks for an address, and only if you opt in.
Where does the pricing data come from?
From the plans we track on HostPrices. Each plan records the intro price, the intro term and the renewal price from the provider's own pricing page, with the date it was last checked.
What is the 3-year true cost?
The intro price for the intro term (capped at 36 months) plus the renewal price for every remaining month. It is the fairest way to compare plans with very different intro discounts.
Can I share a result?
Yes. The calculator and the finder keep every choice in the page URL, so copying the link shares the exact result.
Do the tools include taxes or add-ons?
Taxes are excluded. The calculator lets you add the extra costs a provider publishes (domain, backups, support), and labels them separately.
How often are prices updated?
Plan prices carry the date they were last checked, and the price tracker shows every recorded observation, so you can see how fresh the data is.
