Most Hosting Companies Lie About
The Renewal Price.
We tracked billing statements for 5 years. Stop falling for the $2.95 trap that turns into a $14.99 monthly bill. See the data below.
The "Bait & Switch" Business Model
90% of web hosts operate on a simple trick: Lose money on year 1, profit on year 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Renewal Shock
That $2.95 price is a "New Customer Promo." It expires after 12 months. Auto-renewal kicks in at the full retail price (usually 3x-4x higher).
Hostage Data
They know migrating a live site is scary. Once you are uploaded, they bet on your laziness to pay the higher bill rather than move.
Resource Throttling
Cheap hosts overload servers. If your site gets traffic, they force you to upgrade to a "Pro" plan that costs $20/mo.
Who Should Switch?
InterServer isn't for everyone. It is optimized for specific users.
Freelancers
Stop explaining price hikes to clients. Lock them in at $2.50 forever. You look like a hero when their bill never goes up.
eCommerce Stores
With LiteSpeed caching included, your checkout page loads 2x faster. Faster load times = higher conversion rates.
Content Creators
Don't let your hosting bill eat your ad revenue. Keep overhead low and fixed so you can predict your profits.
Verified: The Only "Price Lock"
We tracked an InterServer account for 24 months. The invoice never changed. This is the video proof.
