Web Hosting True Cost Calculator

What it does

Most hosting plans advertise $3-4/month but renew at 2x-4x that rate after your first contract. This calculator shows the real 3-year cost of any hosting plan — enter the advertised price, set the renewal multiplier for that host type, and see what you'll actually pay. It also benchmarks what you should be paying based on your site type and monthly traffic, so you can spot whether a plan is genuinely affordable or just cheap on paper.

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
