The cheapest Black Friday hosting deal depends on what “cheap” means for you. When we checked nine hosts’ own pages on 3 November 2026, Hosting.com had the lowest first payment ($17.88 for 12 months), while HostArmada ($52.56 for 26 months) and ChemiCloud ($53.64 for 36 months) cost the least to cover two years or more. Hostinger, through our partner link, was $76.32 for 48 months.
Below we compare the cheapest plan at each host by what you pay today, what it covers, what it renews at, and whether a free domain is included. We use each host’s own pricing pages and cart; totals marked “our calculation” are the monthly price times the months billed, before tax. Not every deal here is called “Black Friday”: some hosts run their usual intro price or a differently named sale.

- Longest cheap term: Hostinger Premium, $76.32 for 48 months ($1.59/mo, our calculation) through our partner link, extra 20% off included; $95.52 without it. It allows 3 websites.

Cheapest Black Friday hosting by first payment
| Host and plan | You pay today | Covers | Then renews at | Free domain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting.com Starter | $17.88 | 12 months | $167.88 a year (listed) | yes |
| HostArmada Start Dock | $22.94 | 12 + 2 free months | $143.40 a year | yes |
| DreamHost Launch | $34.68 (our calculation) | 12 months | $10.99 a month | yes |
| ChemiCloud Starter | $35.40 (our calculation) | 12 months | regular rate, amount not stated (crossed-out price $14.95/mo) | no (36 months only) |
| ScalaHosting Mini | $35.40 (our calculation) | 12 months | $11.95 a month | no |
| Hostinger Premium | $47.88 (without partner discount) | 12 months | $10.99 a month | yes |
| InMotion Launch | $57.48 (our calculation) | 12 months | $14.99 a month | yes |
If you only need hosting for a year or want to test a host, a 12-month plan keeps the upfront cost low. The catch is that you reach the regular price after one year. Hosting.com’s Starter is the cheapest start, but if it renews at the listed $167.88, two years cost $185.76 by our calculation.
Cheapest Black Friday hosting for two years or more
| Host and plan | You pay today | Covers | Then renews at | Free domain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HostArmada Start Dock | $52.56 | 24 + 2 free months | $262.80 every 2 years | yes |
| ChemiCloud Starter | $53.64 (our calculation) | 36 months | regular rate, amount not stated (crossed-out price $11.95/mo) | yes |
| DreamHost Launch | $59.76 (our calculation) | 24 months | $8.99 a month | yes |
| Hostinger Premium (our link) | $76.32 | 48 months | $10.99 a month | yes |
| DreamHost Launch | $95.52 (our calculation) | 48 months | $7.99 a month | yes |
| ScalaHosting Mini | $106.20 (our calculation) | 36 months | $11.95 a month | no |
| InMotion Launch | $119.76 (our calculation) | 24 months | $13.99 a month | yes |
| HostGator Hatchling | $135.00 (our calculation) | 36 months | $10.99 a month | yes |
| Bluehost Starter | $143.64 (our calculation) | 36 months | $9.99 a month | yes |
For two years or longer, a longer first term usually wins, because you delay the renewal price. Per month of hosting, Hostinger through our link works out to about $1.59, ChemiCloud $1.49, DreamHost’s 4-year Launch $1.99 and HostArmada about $2.02 over 26 months (our calculation). Remember the renewal: Hostinger renews at $10.99 a month for the same term, paid upfront ($527.52 for another 48 months, our calculation). Look at the coverage column, not just the price: $76.32 for 48 months is cheaper per month than $52.56 for 26.
What the cheapest plans include
- Hostinger Premium: 3 websites, 20 GB SSD storage, a free domain for the first year (register it within 12 months), and double AI credits (500 instead of 250) on the 48-month term. Through our Hostinger link, the extra 20% partner discount is included in the price shown.
- ChemiCloud Starter: 1 website, 20 GB NVMe, free migration and daily backups; the free domain is on the 36-month term only. Its Black Friday sale runs until 7 December 2026.
- Hosting.com Starter: 5 websites, 15 GB NVMe, a free domain, daily backups and free migration; the Black Friday price is on 12-month plans only. Its promotion terms end the offer on 30 November, although its FAQ says 14 December. See Hosting.com’s Black Friday deal.
- HostArmada Start Dock: 1 website and 2 free months on 12-, 24- and 36-month plans in its “7th Birthday Sale”; the free domain must be registered in the first 7 days. See HostArmada’s sale.
- DreamHost Launch: 25 websites and a free domain on annual and multi-year plans; it calls its price a “Special Web Hosting offer for November 2026”, not Black Friday.
- ScalaHosting Mini: 1 website at $2.95 a month on 12 or 36 months (an “Intro offer”, not Black Friday), with no free domain; only ScalaHosting’s Entry Cloud plan carries a Black Friday badge. See ScalaHosting.
- Bluehost, HostGator and InMotion: intro prices without a Black Friday label on 3 November; all three include a free domain on 12-month or longer plans. See Bluehost and InMotion.
Refunds and the free-domain catch
Most of these hosts deduct the domain’s value if you cancel during the money-back period, so a “free” domain is not free if you leave early.
| Host | Money-back | Free domain on refund |
|---|---|---|
| Hostinger | 30 days | free domain is non-refundable; its value may be deducted |
| ChemiCloud | 45 days (7 for VPS) | regular domain rate deducted |
| Hosting.com | 30 days, first term only | domain fees are not refundable |
| HostArmada | 45 days | $13.95 withheld for most extensions |
| DreamHost | 30 days (card and PayPal) | domains are not refundable |
| Bluehost | 30 days | domain fee at its regular cost deducted |
| HostGator | 30 days | domain fee deducted ($17.99 or $15.00; the page shows both) |
| InMotion | 90 days | regular domain price deducted |
| ScalaHosting | “Anytime” money-back | not verified |
How to pick the cheapest hosting deal for you
- Decide how long you will keep the site. Under a year: compare first payments. Two years or more: compare the cost per month of the whole first term.
- Check the renewal price. It is the price you will pay for years; the table shows it for every host.
- Count what you need. ChemiCloud Starter, HostArmada Start Dock and ScalaHosting Mini allow 1 website, Hostinger Premium 3, Hosting.com Starter 5 and DreamHost Launch 25 (site limits from the hosts’ plan pages, checked 30 October to 3 November); check the limit on the others before you buy.
- Treat the free domain carefully. It renews at the normal price after a year and is usually deducted if you get a refund.
