Hidden costs
- Renewal prices are 2-3x the advertised introductory rate on every product line (e.g. Shared Hatchling $3.75/mo intro vs $10.99/mo renewal)
- Longest (36-month) term required to get the lowest advertised intro price; shorter terms cost meaningfully more per month
- Domain name is free only for year one; standard registrar pricing applies afterward
- Site/Domain Backup, SSL certificate upgrades, and dedicated IP are upsells on lower shared tiers
- VPS/Dedicated bandwidth is "unmetered" but subject to a fair-use policy capping sustained resource usage at 25% of system capacity for 90+ seconds
