Any coupon codes for renewing HostMonster hosting?

    My hosting account at HostMonster is up for renewal and the price is almost double of what the signup price. Any coupons or ways to get a discount on renewals?

    I presume you are asking about hosting with unlimited domains.

    Just did a Google search for "hostmonster renewal coupons". Didn't follow any of the links.

    I have not yet renewed my hostmonster account - did a two year signup last time. Looks like their prices have gone up so I will be looking for a coupon in the next 6 months.

    Noticed yesterday, their cpanel was really slow when I connected an add-on domain from godaddy.

    I am considering moving to cloud hosting with my own server but the plesk control panel is a little daunting since I have used cpanel for a number of years. CloudLinux has a $14/month cpanel cloud server. Quite a bit more that host monster, but the speed and convenience might be worth it. They have a 30 day trial. There are probably others.

    It's just a pain to change hosting - changing all the name servers, etc.

    They could have some coming up for Christmas.

    I'd wait a few days and search around.

    You can't use coupon code on hosting renewal.

    That's usually how it works for some providers, the host will offer a low start-up cost but on recurring invoices the fees are much higher, I believe this is partially why there are no renewal coupons for HM. It's to interest you in signing up! If you look at other hosts in the future, look for recurring coupon codes, instead of one-time discounts, this way you'll stay at a rate you know is acceptable for you :)
