Estimates from the prices you enter. Check the host's checkout page: some charge per term in advance, round prices, or add fees not listed here.
Enter each plan's intro price, how long it lasts and the renewal price (on the host's pricing page, often in small print).
Add the domain, extras such as backups, SSL or email, any setup fee, and your tax and card or exchange fee.
Pick 1, 2, 3 or 5 years to see the totals, the real price per month and when the cheapest plan changes. Download a CSV or PNG, or copy a share link.
Most hosts advertise an introductory price that only applies to the first term (often 12 to 48 months, paid upfront). After that the plan renews at the regular price, which is commonly 2 to 4 times higher.
A longer term keeps the low price for longer, but you pay it all at checkout and refunds are usually limited. Compare the 3- or 5-year total, not the monthly headline price.
When a host charges in a foreign currency (for example USD), your bank may add a foreign transaction or exchange fee of around 2 to 4%. Check your card's fee and enter it to see the real cost.
