Web hosting: Hosting Plan Price Index

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

23 of the 30 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 7 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 5 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 247 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): median, minimum and maximum ADVERTISED and RENEWAL price per plan tier across every host that publishes one, normalised to price per vCPU, per GB of RAM and per GB of NVMe so a $5 VPS and a $129 dedicated box sit on one scale; the renewal multiple per host (the read on 2026-09-10 found HostGator at '$3.75/mo*' renewing at '$10.99/mo', InMotion at '€13.52/mo' renewing at '€26.08/mo', and Rocket.net and Pressable publishing one number that does not move); the cheapest published plan per tier per datacentre region, which is what the Los Angeles keywords ask for and what no host publishes across its rivals; and repriced-since.

247 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
