DreamHost
A long-running independent host that also sells domains, with a plainly published price table in three currencies. Registration promos are common and the renewal is usually well above them — the gap is printed right next to the offer, which is more than most manage.
Where it wins
- Price table published openly in USD, EUR and GBP
- Free WHOIS privacy
- Established host with real support
Where it costs you
- Renewals sit above the discounters
- First-year promos widen the step-up
- Domains are a side business next to hosting
Sav.com
Sav competes almost entirely on renewal price — often below wholesale as a loss-leader. The interface is spartan, the math is excellent, especially past year three.
Where it wins
- Among the lowest renewals anywhere
- Simple, upsell-free checkout
Where it costs you
- Bare-bones tooling and DNS
- Small team, slower support
Prices fetched from each shop's own published list — DreamHost's on 1 Nov 2026, Sav.com's on 1 Nov 2026 — in US dollars before tax; the currency switcher converts them. How prices are read
