Our verdict
FastComet suits beginners and small businesses wanting plain shared hosting with a solid refund window. First-term plans start at $1.99 and renewal fees run $9.95 to $24.95, so the entry discount is genuine but the second bill is the one to budget for.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Every plan bundles free ssl, backups and cdn, so certificates, backups, a CDN and email come as standard.

- Uptime is guaranteed at 99.9%, with servers in Dallas (US), Newark (US) and Fremont (US).

Cons
- Renewal fees run $9.95 to $24.95 while first-term prices are $1.99 to $5.49, so the second bill is much larger.
- Starter and Essential cap sites at 1 (Starter), 1 (Essential), Unlimited (Plus, Extra), so extra properties need Plus or Extra.
- The builder has no free plan, so trying it means paying for a plan up front.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to start?+
Shared plans start at $1.99, and first-term prices across the range are $1.99 to $5.49. That covers the entry cost only. The site median for a first-term price is €2.99, so FastComet sits below the middle of the market.
What will the same plans cost at renewal?+
Renewal fees run $9.95 to $24.95, well above the $1.99 to $5.49 first-term figure on the same plans. That step up is the main cost to plan for. For reference, the €5.99 median renewal price across the site sits lower than this range.
Is there a money-back window?+
A money-back period of 30 days applies to the hosting plans, which is the 30 median across the site. FastComet ranks 35 on that measure, in the upper part of the field. Support is on hand through chat, phone and help centre if something goes wrong early on.
What kinds of hosting can I buy?+
The range runs shared hosting, WordPress hosting and WooCommerce hosting. Shared hosting suits ordinary sites, and dedicated CPU servers sit at the top end for heavier workloads. WordPress and WooCommerce hosting sit alongside, so a store can stay on the same provider as the site.
Where are the servers located?+
Data centres run in Dallas (US), Newark (US) and Fremont (US). Several US and European locations are joined by sites in Brazil, India, Singapore, Japan and Australia, which keeps visitors in those regions on a nearby machine.
How many websites can one account host?+
A plan decides how much you can run: 1 (Starter), 1 (Essential), Unlimited (Plus, Extra). So a single site fits the entry plans, and any project with several properties needs Plus or Extra, where sites are unlimited.
Is there a free way to try the builder?+
No free plan is offered for the builder, so a paid plan is the only way in. It covers site and store projects and starts from a library of from 350 templates. Hosting alongside it starts at $1.99.
Who is FastComet for, and where is it based?+

What support can I reach?+
