20i UK renewal prices: what it costs after the intro term
20i's Plan 5 plan advertises £1.00 a month in the United Kingdom and renews at £300.00 - 300.0x the advertised price.
That rate is not what is charged at signup: the 1-month term is billed as £1 up front, a total the host states itself. The next invoice after that is £300 for 1 months.
The advertised price covers 1 months. Over 1 years the service costs £275.08 a month, or £3,301 allocated to that period.

What it costs once the introductory term is over
A hosting price has three parts that are almost never shown together: the invoice charged at signup, the cost of the months inside the period you are comparing, and the invoice that arrives when the introductory term ends. These are different numbers and the two tables below keep them apart.
| Plan | 1 year | 2 years | 3 years | 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Startup | £9.25 £111 of service | £9.62 £231 of service | £9.75 £351 of service | £9.85 £591 of service |

Service cost and cash paid are not the same number. A 48-month offer compared over three years has 36 months of service cost but a four-year invoice already paid. We show both and never call either one the total. No domain renewal, migration or overage charge is added to either. The full method is at Method.
How to read these figures
- On three-year service cost, Hostinger works out cheaper for shared hosting in the United Kingdom (£1.49 a month against £9.75) - its figures.
- Do not read the headline price as a rate. On Startup it covers 1 month, after which the price is £10.00 - 10.0x.
- If any figure here is stale, the comparison is stale. Hosts change prices without notice and none of them tell us when. These were read on 2026-09-06.
