Web Hosting Renewal Price

A web hosting renewal price is the amount billed when the first paid term ends — the rate on your next invoice, which is often higher than the advertised first-term offer. Many hosts discount the first term and charge a regular rate afterwards. The honest comparison is on the renewal column, with 18% GST added, because that is what an Indian invoice actually collects from year two onwards.

One total is rarely the whole bill. A domain, a paid SSL certificate or a backup pack can renew on its own line outside the hosting figure, so read each line before treating a single number as your yearly cost.

• Intro rate: the first term only, when the host prints a separate one.
• Renewal rate: what the same plan costs on the next term.
• Term: a month and a year are different rupee totals — match them before comparing.
• Tax: every WebJi® figure on this page is before 18% GST.
• Extras: domains, SSL and backups that renew separately from the plan.

You compare like with like: same plan, same term, same tax, and with every add-on that renews on its own line written down. A headline first-month rate tells you almost nothing about year two, and a monthly figure set against a yearly figure is not a comparison at all.

This is not theoretical in the Indian market. On 30 October 2026, Domain India's hosting page said plans started at ₹100 a month and that the renewal matched that rate; the same page also showed other starting points, including ₹99 and ₹125 a month. That claim is theirs, about their plans. The same day, Web Eye Soft's homepage showed a plan at Rs.29 a month without printing any renewal rate for it. And Hostinger's cost article, dated 22 October 2026, put shared hosting in a $2–$10 a month band and listed a .com domain renewal at $19.99 a year. Different products, and in one case a different currency: a Rs.29 first month with no published renewal is simply not the same offer as a ₹299 monthly rate that is also the renewal. WebJi® is not either of those companies, and this page does not reprint renewal rates for Hostinger, SiteGround or Bluehost — open the renewal line on their own pages for the term you will actually pay.

1. Copy the renewal or regular price, not only the first-term price.
2. Match the term, so a monthly total is never set against a yearly total.
3. Add the tax the invoice will charge — WebJi® adds 18% GST.
4. List extras that renew alone, such as the domain, SSL or backups.
5. Compare two hosts only after those four lines match.

A high renewal is a reason to move before the due date, not a reason to let the old plan lapse and take the site offline. Moving starts with facts in writing: the renewal amount from the current host, and what the site actually needs in resources.

• Ask first: get the current host's renewal amount in writing, with the term it covers.
• Request approval: WebJi® migration is free only when approved and subject to the terms in force — it is not instant and not part of every order.
• Overlap, don't gap: keep the old host online until the copied site opens correctly in a browser.
• Change DNS last: do not point the domain at the new host before the copy works.

The click-by-click cutover, including DNS timing, is in the guide to moving a website without downtime. A related trap is the domain itself: domain renewals bill separately from hosting, at the extension's own rate — the domain registration pages carry each extension's first-year and renewal figures with their dates.
