EasyWP (Namecheap) renewal price: what you pay after the intro term

Observed on EasyWP (Namecheap)'s pricing page, in the Internet Archive's capture of it (the live page refuses automated checks, so the archive's copy is what I read). The price has not moved since 2026-10-10. Checked again on 2026-10-16: the page blocked my check; showing the last verified data.

Cheaper over the same 36 months

11 of the 25 hosts I can price come in under EasyWP (Namecheap)'s $148.92 over 36 months. The three cheapest:

1. ChemiCloud Starter $53.64 saving $95.28
2. AccuWeb Hosting Budget (Best Cheap Web Hosting) $71.64 saving $77.28
3. HostArmada Start Dock $71.64 saving $77.28

The rule is arithmetic and nothing else: a host appears here only if it publishes a renewal price and a full 36-month total can be computed from prices actually observed, and the order is that total, cheapest first. Hosts whose intro term is not published cannot be priced and are left out rather than guessed at. None of these pay me anything. Switching costs an afternoon; the week before a renewal is when to do it.
