The verdict in prose
Sweden's largest hosting company, part of team.blue, selling a deliberately short list of 47 extensions with the renewal printed in the column next to the first year. Prices are kronor excluding VAT — the page carries both figures and a toggle, and the ex-VAT one is what is quoted here. Not cheap: the renewals run about twice the at-cost floor.

Sweden's largest hosting company, part of team.blue, selling a deliberately short list of 47 extensions with the renewal printed in the column next to the first year.
