|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AStarter's 3-year term is $1.95 a month, $70.20 upfront, so two years cost $70.20, about $2.93 a month, under the $5.97 an A needs. A year at $3.49 then $14.95 a month would be $221.28 instead. It renews at $11.95. | BPremium's only readable price is 48 months for $143.52 upfront, so two years cost you $143.52, about $5.98 a month. That's inside the cheaper quarter of hosts and a cent over the A line, and the same payment covers years three and four. Then it's $10.99 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial. Managed WordPress has a $1 first month, which is cheap but not free. | FNothing free. There's no free plan and no trial, just a 30-day refund on hosting, and a new domain can only be refunded within 96 hours. |
| Features | BLiteSpeed, NVMe, a Cloudflare CDN, daily offsite backups kept 10 to 30 days, unlimited email through MailChannels, free migrations and a site builder. One-click restores start on Pro, but the core job is covered. | ChPanel, one-click WordPress, malware scanning, free migrations and an AI agent are all there. The gaps are on the plan most people buy: Premium keeps weekly backups, not daily, and the domain and mailboxes are free for the first year only. |
| Ease of use | CNo app store rating to go on. Migration staff move your site and email, but it's cPanel, so there's still some setting up to do. | CNo app store rating to go on. hPanel and the AI agent take fiddly bits like DNS off your hands, but you're still setting up a domain, email and a site. |
| Platforms and integrations | CA web panel only. Cloudflare, MailChannels, Softaculous and the apps it installs are named, but no API is on record. | BA web dashboard, with no app on record. There's a public API, though, and hooks for Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, Claude Code and Cursor. |
| Best for | cheap cPanel hosting if you'll prepay three years | cheap hosting if you can pay four years upfront |
