Best budget web hosting deals
These are shared hosting plans, which are the best place to start a new blog. They cost a few dollars a month and include everything you need to get a WordPress site online.
1. Hostinger: up to 85% off
Hostinger’s sale is the best all-round deal this year. Premium costs $1.99/mo on a 48-month plan ($95.52 upfront) and renews at $10.99/mo. You get a free domain for the first year, free SSL, a CDN and 24/7 support. No code is needed, and the sale runs until December 14.
2. HostPapa: from $1.25/mo
HostPapa has the lowest starting price we found. Essentials costs $1.25/mo on a 3-year plan. The best value is Premium at $3.25/mo, which costs the same as Growth but gives you unlimited websites and 200 GB of storage. You also get a free domain for the first year and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
3. ChemiCloud: up to 88% off
ChemiCloud’s Starter plan costs $1.49/mo on a 36-month plan (normally $11.95/mo). Its plans keep 10 to 30 daily backup copies, depending on the plan, and you get a 45-day money-back guarantee. The free domain is only included on 36-month plans.
4. HostArmada: up to 84% off
HostArmada is running its 7th Birthday Sale rather than a Black Friday sale for now. Start Dock costs $1.91/mo on a 12-month plan, plus 2 free months and a free domain. Its regular price is $11.95/mo, and every plan includes free daily backups.
5. Hosting.com: up to 89% off
Hosting.com’s sale gives up to 89% off 12-month plans until December 14, and the prices won’t change on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Even the Starter plan allows 5 websites and includes daily backups and free migration.
6. HostGator: extra 15% to 20% off
HostGator’s early bird offer takes an extra 15% off one 1-year plan, or 20% off two products in the same order. Hatchling costs $4.21/mo on a 12-month plan. If you’re happy to commit for 3 years, HostGator’s regular 36-month price ($3.75/mo) is actually cheaper.
7. Bluehost: VPS and dedicated servers on sale now
Bluehost is offering 15% to 25% off its VPS, VDS and dedicated servers on 12-month terms until November 30. Its shared hosting sale hasn’t been announced yet. Last year, shared hosting was 70% off the Business and eCommerce Essentials plans.
Best managed WordPress hosting deals
Managed hosts cost more, but they take care of speed, updates, backups and security for you. They’re a good choice once your blog gets steady traffic or starts earning money.
8. Cloudways: 80% off for 2 months
Use the code BFCM802 to get 80% off your first 2 months at Cloudways, up to $200 off each month. The Flexible plan drops from $11/mo to $2.20/mo for those 2 months. It’s for new customers only, and you have to sign up by December 4.
9. Rocket.net: first month for $1
Rocket.net gives you the first month for $1, then charges $30/mo, or $25/mo billed annually. Every plan includes the Cloudflare Enterprise network and free migrations. It’s the same offer Rocket.net ran last Black Friday.
10. WPX: up to 24 free months
WPX adds free months when you prepay: 3 months on a 1-year plan, up to 24 months on a 5-year plan. On monthly billing, the code SAVE79 takes 79% off your first month, so Starter costs $3.78. The sale ends on December 14, and existing customers can join too.
11. WP Engine: 20% off annual plans
WP Engine hasn’t announced a Black Friday deal yet. Right now you get 20% off the first year of annual plans, applied automatically, so the Essential plan is $28/mo instead of $35/mo. In 2024, its Black Friday deal gave 4 months free on annual plans.
Black Friday hosting deals still to come
12. InMotion Hosting: coming soon
InMotion’s site shows a “Black Friday Deals – Coming Soon” countdown that points to a start date around November 9. Until then, it’s offering up to 63% off VPS hosting. Every hosting plan comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee.
How to choose the right Black Friday hosting deal
- Check the renewal price. The Black Friday price only covers your first term. A $2/mo plan can renew at $10/mo or more.
- Pick the term carefully. Longer plans usually have the lowest monthly price, but you pay for all of it upfront.
- Look for a free domain. Some hosts only include it on longer plans, and the domain fee is often kept if you ask for a refund.
- Check the refund window. It ranges from 30 days at most hosts to 45 days at ChemiCloud and HostArmada, 60 days at WP Engine and 90 days at InMotion.
- Don’t wait too long. Many of these sales are already live, and most hosts don’t lower their prices further on Black Friday itself.
Which Black Friday hosting deal should you choose?
- Starting your first blog: Hostinger or HostPapa. Both are cheap and include a free domain.
- Want a long backup history: ChemiCloud, whose Turbo plan keeps 30 daily backups.
- Need speed for a growing site: Cloudways for the lowest managed price, or Rocket.net for a premium host you can test for $1.
- Running several sites: HostPapa Premium or Hosting.com, which allow unlimited and 5 or more websites.
