Cheaper over the same 36 months

17 of the 25 hosts I can price come in under GreenGeeks's $370.20 over 36 months. The three cheapest:

  1. ChemiCloud Starter $53.64 saving $316.56
  2. AccuWeb Hosting Budget (Best Cheap Web Hosting) $71.64 saving $298.56
  3. HostArmada Start Dock $71.64 saving $298.56

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.
