## How .hosting is priced

3 of the 8 registrars whose .hosting pricing we have verified price it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 5 discount year one (median renewal 1.2× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $340.37 to $679.98 a year.

A flat seller and a discounted one can look identical in year one and differ sharply by year three, so compare the renewal or the multi-year total.

Computed from the 8 verified .hosting prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .hosting.
