Hosting starts at an introductory price of €1.99 and renews at €2.99. The builder lists prices from €1.99, and the e-commerce plan price is €4.99. Renewal costs more than entry, so budget for the second term.
Is there a free plan?+
Yes, a free plan is offered, and the sitebuilder follows a free plan model. Paid hosting starts at €1.99, and the e-commerce plan sits at €4.99, so a site can go up before you pay.

The money-back period is 30 days, which matches the category median of 30 days. That gives room to try a paid hosting plan for a month and walk away without rushing the decision.
What can I host with Hostico?+
Hosting types cover shared hosting, reseller hosting and cloud VPS. Standard features include free ssl, backups and staging, so certificates, backups, staging and email arrive with the plan rather than as separate add-ons you have to buy.

A .com domain costs €9.99 in the first year, renews at €14.99 and transfers for €14.99. Free WHOIS privacy is not included, so add that to the budget if you want your contact details hidden.
