Heart Internet UK renewal prices: what it costs after the intro term
Heart Internet's Plus plan advertises £1.00 a month in the United Kingdom and renews at £5.99 - 6.0x the advertised price.
That rate is not what is charged at signup: the 1-month term is billed as £1 up front. The next invoice after that is £6 for 1 months.
The advertised price covers 1 months. Over 1 years the service costs £5.57 a month, or £67 allocated to that period.
What the host publishes in the United Kingdom
Prices on this page are the figures the host publishes. Where the host publishes them excluding VAT, that is marked on the row and the figure is kept ex-VAT rather than grossed up, because the rate that applies depends on the buyer. VAT is not added to any total here.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plus | £5.57 £67 of service | £5.78 £139 of service | £5.85 £211 of service | £5.91 £354 of service |
| Advanced | £8.62 £103 of service | £8.80 £211 of service | £8.87 £319 of service | £8.92 £535 of service |
| Elite | £12.45 £149 of service | £12.72 £305 of service | £12.81 £461 of service | £12.88 £773 of service |
| Agency | £15.32 £184 of service | £15.66 £376 of service | £15.77 £568 of service | £15.86 £951 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 £5.85) - its figures.
- Do not read the headline price as a rate. On Plus it covers 1 month, after which the price is £5.99 - 6.0x.
- 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.
