GoDaddy Hosting pricing

What GoDaddy web hosting really costs tier by tier, and why renewals and paid add ons, not just the intro price, decide your bill.

GoDaddy sells cPanel shared hosting in three main tiers, with intro rates tied to a longer prepaid term and renewals that climb well above the sticker price. The headline rate is the introductory price, and the figures that matter are what you pay at renewal and which extras, such as backups and some email or security features, bill on top. Plans run from Economy through Deluxe to Ultimate, adding websites, storage and processing power as you go. Below is each plan as published, then the things that move the number.

What moves the real bill

Renewals and add ons set the real bill.

GoDaddy's headline rate is the intro price. A few things separate it from what you pay over time, so plan for them before you commit.

The renewal jump. Intro rates apply to your first prepaid term, then renew higher, for example Economy near $11.99 and Deluxe near $16.99 a month. The renewal, not the intro price, is the figure to budget for over time.
Term length and prepayment. The lowest rates need a longer term paid up front. Shorter terms cost more per month, so the advertised price assumes a multi year commitment rather than monthly billing.
Paid add ons and upsells. GoDaddy bundles less than some rivals at the entry price and adds upsells at checkout. Automated backups and some security features can bill separately, so price the plan with the extras you actually need.
Email and the plan step. Economy does not include professional email, while Deluxe does, which often makes Deluxe the better value for multi site owners who want inboxes. The step from Deluxe to Ultimate buys more sites, storage and processing power.

GoDaddy Hosting pricing FAQ

How much does GoDaddy hosting cost per month?

Shared hosting starts at $5.99 a month for Economy, $7.99 for Deluxe and $17.99 for Ultimate on longer prepaid terms. Renewals climb higher, near $11.99 to $21.99 a month. Pricing as of June 2026; check the vendor for current pricing.

Does GoDaddy hosting renew at a higher price?

Yes. The intro rates apply to your first term, then renew higher, near $11.99 a month for Economy, $16.99 for Deluxe and $21.99 for Ultimate. The renewal is the real long term cost, so budget for it rather than the sticker price.

Does GoDaddy hosting include email?

The Deluxe and Ultimate plans include free professional email, but the entry Economy plan does not, so inboxes there come from an add on or a separate provider. If you want email included, Deluxe is usually the better value despite the higher entry price.

What adds to the GoDaddy hosting bill?
