GoDaddy UK renewal prices: what it costs after the intro term
GoDaddy's Hosting for WordPress Basic plan advertises £3.99 a month in the United Kingdom and renews at £11.99 - 3.0x the advertised price.
That rate is not what is charged at signup: the 12-month term is billed as £48 up front. The host does not state which billing term its renewal price applies to, so the next invoice cannot be computed without guessing.
The advertised price covers 12 months. Over 2 years the service costs £7.99 a month, or £192 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Web Hosting Economy | £3.99 £48 of service | £6.49 £156 of service | £7.32 £264 of service | £7.99 £479 of service |
| Hosting for WordPress Basic | £3.99 £48 of service | £7.99 £192 of service | £9.32 £336 of service | £10.39 £623 of service |
| Web Hosting Deluxe | £5.99 £72 of service | £9.49 £228 of service | £10.66 £384 of service | £11.59 £695 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 £7.32) - its figures.
- Renewal billing term not confirmed on 4 of these plans. The host publishes a renewal rate but not the billing period it applies to, so those plans are excluded from every cash comparison on this site rather than given an assumed term.
- 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.
The same host in the other market
Different plan names, a different currency and, on most hosts, different renewal terms. Those figures are on their own page so that nothing on this one mixes two markets:
- GoDaddy US renewal prices - priced in USD for the United States
Where to check this yourself
Go to GoDaddy and open its pricing page. Every United Kingdom figure above comes from https://www.godaddy.com/hosting/web-hosting, read on 2026-09-06.
