Official-price snapshot These are editable snapshots from official provider pages, checked July 17, 2026. Prices, taxes, currencies, available terms, and promotions can change by visitor and location. Confirm the final amount in checkout. Accuracy rule: The site should never present a promotional monthly equivalent as the amount charged today. Always record the required term, upfront total, renewal rate, domain renewal, email, backups, and selected add-ons.Introductory and renewal pricing compared
