Pros and cons
20i
Pros
- Renewal of £9.99 sits under the €10.48 category mark
- A 30 day money-back period matches the 30 category top
- Hosting spans shared, wordpress and vps so you can move up without changing supplier
Cons
- The $1 deal runs for a 1 term only, so it does not describe your renewal
- Support runs on chat and email only, with no phone line listed
- The 99.99% uptime guarantee is a floor, not always-on service
easyname
Pros
- The .com renewal costs €2.25, which helps long term budgeting for names you keep
- .com registration costs €0.89, below Krystal Hosting at £11.99
- Web Hosting intro pricing runs €0.99 to €1.99 with Web Hosting renewals at €4.40 to €21.50 for clear cycle comparison
Cons
- Free WHOIS privacy is no, so privacy handling adds friction even with choice across 480
- .com transfer costs €26.90, which makes inbound moves costly if you consolidate names here
- Free plan is no, so evaluation rests on paid plans backed by a refund window of 30 days
Who each suits
20i
Who it suits
- UK small businesses running WordPress sites that value a single supplier
- Store owners who need the e-commerce plan priced at £10
- Agencies reselling hosting, since reseller hosting is in the shared, wordpress and vps range
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want a free plan, as no free tier is listed here
- Buyers who want phone support, since chat and email covers chat and email only
- People who need a long entry term, because $1 covers 1
easyname
Who it suits
- Beginners managing domains and hosting together rather than splitting between Krystal Hosting and separate tools
- Small business owners running several sites who prefer checkdomain style EU focus with 480 choice
Who should look elsewhere
- If you want bundled privacy by default, checkdomain may fit better since Free WHOIS privacy is no here
- If you move many .com names often, Krystal Hosting may fit better since transfer here costs €26.90
Questions about each
20i
What does 20i cost to start with?+
The headline entry price is $1, but it applies for a 1 term only. Broader plan pricing starts at £10, and the store plan is priced separately at £10. Check the renewal figure before you commit, because the low entry price does not carry over.
What will I pay when the hosting plan renews?+
Renewal is priced at £9.99, which is the number to plan a second year around. The category median renewal is €6.14 and the upper quartile is €10.48. The gap between the $1 deal and the £9.99 renewal is the most important number here.
easyname
What does a .com cost at easyname for registration and renewal+
The .com registration costs €0.89 for the opening term and the renewal costs €2.25 each cycle. You should budget around the renewal figure for the years you keep the name, since that rate shapes the extended cost of ownership and renewal planning.
What does it cost to transfer a .com to easyname+
The .com transfer costs €26.90. You should weigh that charge before you move a name here, since it exceeds the opening registration at €0.89 and affects the math of consolidation across a larger portfolio of domains.
