Hostinger Black Friday deal
Up to 80% off web hosting, Premium $2.49/month on 48 months
Hosting discounts are the deepest on the site and the easiest to misread. Last year SiteGround, Hostinger and Namecheap went up to 85%, 85% and 80% off shared hosting, DreamHost up to 75% (from $1.99/month), Bluehost up to 81% (36-month term), Cloudways and Kinsta 50% and WP Engine up to 4 free months. Live now: Hostinger up to 80% (Premium $2.49/month on 48 months), Hosting.com Shared Starter $1.99/month on a 4-year term and Bluehost 15-25% off 12-month plans.
The headline price applies to the first term only. Hosts bill the long term up front and renew at a higher rate, so a 48-month $2.49 plan is a four-year prepayment. Compare the renewal price per month, the free domain and SSL terms, and the backup policy. If you are unsure about the project, take a 12-month term even at a higher rate. Cheaper per month does not matter if the site is gone in six.

Hostinger, Bluehost, Namecheap, InterServer, DreamHost and SiteGround sell shared plans for small sites. Cloudways manages cloud servers on top of other providers. Kinsta and WP Engine focus on managed WordPress. Pick shared hosting for a small blog, and move up when traffic or plugins make the site slow.
Long-term prepaid plans carry the lowest monthly price, then renew at a higher rate. Compare the second-term price and any fee to move or cancel. Domain, SSL and email are sometimes free for the first year only.
Storage, monthly visits, CPU and RAM allocations, number of websites and backups. Hosts rarely publish hard CPU numbers on shared plans, so check how they handle spikes.
Look for daily backups with easy restore, live chat or ticket support and a clear uptime commitment. Independent reviews and your own testing beat marketing claims.
Pick a data centre close to your visitors. Ask whether free migration is included, as it eases switching if the host disappoints.
Many shared plans include email accounts and a free domain for the first year. Check email limits and spam filtering, and note the domain renewal price. Business email may be better handled by a dedicated service.
Money-back windows typically run 30 days on shared hosting and are shorter on some add-ons and domains. Read what is refundable, because setup fees and domain registrations often are not.
A small blog or brochure site runs well on a shared plan from Hostinger, SiteGround, Namecheap or Bluehost. A busy WordPress site is better on a managed host such as Kinsta or WP Engine. If you want performance without server work, Cloudways sits in between. Prepay only as many months as you are confident about.
Buying the longest term for the lowest monthly price before the site exists is the usual one. Another is skipping the renewal page and being surprised a year later.
No. The promotional price applies to your first billing term, then the plan renews at the regular rate.
Longer terms have the lowest monthly price, but you pay it up front. Pick 12 months if you are not sure.
SiteGround and Hostinger (up to 85%), Bluehost (up to 81%) and Namecheap (up to 80%).
Yes. Compare the second-term price, since that is the cost you will carry.
