Rocket.net US renewal prices: what it costs after the intro term
Rocket.net does not discount its first term on the Starter plan in the United States. The advertised $30.00 a month is also the renewal price, so what you see is what you keep paying.
That is unusual in this market and it is worth knowing before you compare it with a host advertising a lower first-term price.
What the host publishes in the United States
| Plan | Type | Advertised | Cash due today | Renewal options as published | Increase | Conditions as published |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Managed WordPress | $30.00 | $30 computed from the published monthly price and its term |
| no increase | Billed monthly without a commitment: $30.00/month. Month-to-month $30. The host states it does not raise prices on renewal. Annual billing is advertised at an equivalent $25/month with two months free; the annual invoice total is not published. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $30.00 $360 of service | $30.00 $720 of service | $30.00 $1,080 of service | $30.00 $1,800 of service |
| Pro | $60.00 $720 of service | $60.00 $1,440 of service | $60.00 $2,160 of service | $60.00 $3,600 of service |
| Business | $100.00 $1,200 of service | $100.00 $2,400 of service | $100.00 $3,600 of service | $100.00 $6,000 of service |
| Expert | $200.00 $2,400 of service | $200.00 $4,800 of service | $200.00 $7,200 of service | $200.00 $12,000 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.
