Hosting with a free domain
9 of the 18 hosts we price include a free domain with some plans (ChemiCloud, DreamHost, GreenGeeks, Hosting.com, Hostinger, HostPapa, IONOS, ScalaHosting and SiteGround), for 1 year. 36 of those 48 plans include it only when you pay for a year or more up front. A .com then renews at $16.95 to $23.99 a year with them. Counting those renewals, the cheapest way to keep one site and its domain for 3 years is ChemiCloud Starter at $106.10: $70.20 of hosting and $35.90 for the domain. Hosting.com's free domain on some plans comes without a stated length, so those aren't totalled. FastComet, Flywheel, Hostwinds, InterServer, Kinsta, Liquid Web, Pressable, Rocket.net and WP Engine include no free domain or don't say.
A free domain is usually free for the first year only, and often only when you pay for a year or more up front. After that it renews at the host's domain price every year you keep the site. This table takes the cheapest term that comes with the free domain and adds those renewals for 3 years.
