While you get a lot of flexibility when it comes to subscriptions and plan types, GoDaddy&rsquo;s fees are a lot steeper than its hosting competitors. For example, Hostinger&rsquo;s plans start at $1.99 per month.\n<p>That said, GoDaddy&rsquo;s <strong>website builder plans are great value for money <\/strong>and very competitive. These three plans range from $9.99 to $20.99 per month, making it much cheaper than other leading builders, like Wix or Squarespace.[\/vc_column_text]\n<\/p><div class=\"taco-highlighted-block primary\">\n \n <h4 class=\"title-block\">\n \n Why you can trust us &#129309; <\/h4>\n \n \n<ul>\n<li>We&rsquo;ve spent over 300 hours researching and testing website builders and hosting providers<\/li>\n<li>To review pricing, we&rsquo;ve analyzed GoDaddy&rsquo;s introductory deals, renewal fees, number of plans, scalability, and free plan or trial options<\/li>\n<li>We&rsquo;re constantly updating our pages to ensure we reflect the latest prices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n[vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]\n<h3><strong>Which Plan Is Right for Me?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to GoDaddy, you have two paths, depending on your skill level and website needs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Website builder:<\/strong> this is the easiest option for beginners who want everything contained to one platform, but you can only use the features within GoDaddy&rsquo;s ecosystem<\/li>\n<li><strong>Web hosting:<\/strong> this can be harder to manage, but it&rsquo;s more adaptable to your needs, and you can create a website elsewhere (e.g., WordPress)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/p><\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n GoDaddy&rsquo;s Pricing: Hosting Plans Explained <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_single_image image=&rdquo;136001&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo; css=&rdquo;&rdquo;][vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]GoDaddy has three main hosting types: shared hosting, WordPress hosting, and VPS hosting.

The longer the subscription, the better the deal.<\/p>\n<p>GoDaddy splits its eight shared hosting plans into two categories: Standard Performance and High Performance. The difference between these upgrades is website allowance, storage space, and power. All eight plans include cPanel, a free domain and SSL certificate, and security measures.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>WordPress Hosting<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>GoDaddy offers managed WordPress hosting for <strong>$5.99 to $12.99 per month<\/strong> (36-month term). While the plans are promoted online for an annual subscription, you&rsquo;ll get the best deal if you opt for a 36-month term or longer.<\/p>\n<p>These three plans are powered by Airo for WordPress, offering AI-powered design support, optimized WordPress tools (such as automatic updates), and enhanced security. However, you&rsquo;ll only be able to host one website with these plans.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>VPS Hosting<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Like shared hosting, GoDaddy splits its eight VPS hosting plans into standard and high performance categories. Introductory pricing ranges from <strong>$8.99 to $219.99 per month<\/strong> (for a 36-month term), but rates can fluctuate depending on how you configure the plan. For example, cPanel costs an additional $19.99 per month, and standard website security costs $5.99 per month.<\/p>\n<p>The table below uses standard pricing, with no extras added:[\/vc_column_text]\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/p><\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n GoDaddy&rsquo;s Website Builder: Plans &amp; Fees <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]If you&rsquo;re looking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/building-websites\/\">build a website<\/a>, GoDaddy&rsquo;s three website builder plans range from <strong>$9.99 to $20.99 per month<\/strong> (billed annually). You can also start with GoDaddy&rsquo;s free plan, but this limits your storage, security, and domain options.\n<p>A typical subscription length for website builders is 12 months, so I&rsquo;ll be using that in the table below, but you can get a cheaper deal if you choose a longer subscription.[\/vc_column_text]\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/p><\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n Additional GoDaddy Costs <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_single_image image=&rdquo;136002&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo; css=&rdquo;&rdquo;][vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]On top of your subscription, you&rsquo;ll need to budget for some additional features and prepare to pay renewal fees after your introductory deal ends. While add-ons will vary depending on your plan, GoDaddy makes it clear what you&rsquo;re paying for at checkout. The main additional costs to consider include:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Email<\/strong> &ndash; you get a one year free trial to Microsoft 365 Email Essentials (the standard renewal rate for this is $8.99 per month)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Domain name<\/strong> &ndash; your custom domain name is free for the first year, but a <em>.com<\/em> domain name will auto-renew at $22.99 per year (domain privacy also costs extra!)<\/li>\n<li><strong>SSL certificate<\/strong> &ndash; free for one year, then renews at $119.99 per year (this only applies to the cheapest Web Hosting Economy plan, since all other plans include free SSL for life)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payment fees for online stores <\/strong>&ndash; GoDaddy&rsquo;s Commerce plan charges 2.7% + $0.30 per credit card transaction<\/li>\n<li><strong>Website security<\/strong> &ndash; if security isn&rsquo;t included, standard website security measures will cost $5.99 per month to start<\/li>\n<li><strong>Control panel<\/strong> &ndash; for VPS plans, you can choose to add a control panel at checkout (the three options range from $19.99 to $29.99 per month)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Renewal rates <\/strong>&ndash; GoDaddy&rsquo;s plans will automatically renew at the standard rate, meaning the $5.99 Web Hosting Economy plan will increase to $11.99 per month after the first 36-month period<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Below, I&rsquo;ve compared the annual costs for the Web Hosting Economy plan across a couple of years:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&rdquo;8px&rdquo;]\n<\/p><div class=\"taco-highlighted-block primary\">\n \n <h4 class=\"title-block\">\n \n Top Tip &#128161; <\/h4>\n \n You can reduce costs over the years if you opt for a longer subscription from the start.
