📖 How it works & FAQ

Cost line items — name, amount ($), billing cycle

What web hosting really costs per month

The advertised price of a hosting plan is rarely what you actually pay. The domain renews once a year, an SSL certificate may or may not be bundled, a CDN adds a few dollars a month, and business email is almost always a separate subscription. This calculator lines all of that up in one place. Every line item is editable — rename it, change the amount, and set whether it is billed per month or per year — and you can add or remove rows for anything else in your stack, such as backups, malware scanning or a site-builder license. The math is shown right on the result cards: true monthly cost is the sum of monthly items plus yearly items divided by twelve, and the first-year total is twelve times the monthly items plus the yearly items. Everything recalculates live as you type and runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded anywhere.

FAQ

Why is my first bill different from the renewal price?: Most hosts sell the first term at a promo discount and renew at full rate. Enter renewal prices to see long-run cost, or promo prices to budget year one — run it both ways to see the gap.
Do I need to pay for SSL?: Usually not. Free certificates are bundled with most modern hosts, so the starter row defaults to $0 — change it only if your provider charges for one.
What does a typical small site cost?: Shared hosting commonly runs $3–$15 per month, a .com domain about $10–$20 per year, and business email $6+ per mailbox per month. VPS and managed WordPress plans run higher.
Is my data private?: Yes. All the math happens on your device in plain JavaScript — no server, no account, nothing stored or sent.
