Web hosting pricing
Shared web hosts advertise a monthly price that only holds for a long prepaid first term and then renew at two to five times as much: Hostinger Premium is $2.49 a month on a 48-month term and renews at $10.99, SiteGround StartUp is €2.99 for the first year and €15.99 after. Managed WordPress hosts such as Kinsta and WP Engine skip the introductory discount and start at about $30 a month for one site.
