Black Friday falls on November 27, 2026 and Cyber Monday on November 30, but most hosting companies started their sales weeks ago. Some went live in mid October. That is good news if you are launching a site, moving a client portfolio or finally leaving a host that has been slowing you down, because you do not need to wait for the weekend to lock in a price.
The catch is the same every year. A headline like “up to 90% off” usually means the longest term on the cheapest plan, paid upfront, and the price jumps at renewal. We picked the deals below for the value you actually get over the life of the plan, not the size of the percentage. Every offer below was checked on November 12, 2026 against the provider’s announced Black Friday terms. Hosting discounts almost always apply to the first billing term only, so the renewal price matters as much as the sale price.
If you are shopping for other tools this week, our Black Friday SaaS deals and Black Friday WordPress deals lists cover the rest of the stack.

Hostinger has the longest sale window of any major host this year, running from October 19 to December 14. Premium shared hosting drops to $2.49 a month and the Unlimited tier to $3.49 a month on a 48-month term, and new plans come with doubled AI website builder credits.
The value here is the term length. Four years at the sale price is a long time before you meet a renewal bill, which makes Hostinger the easiest recommendation for a new blog, portfolio or small business site. Just be honest with yourself about whether the site will exist in four years before you prepay for it.
Cloudways is taking 80% off every plan and add-on for the first two months with the code BFCM802, from November 5 to December 4, plus unlimited free migrations. Its entry plan normally costs $14 a month, so the first two months come in at about $2.80 each.
This is a different kind of deal from the shared hosting sales. You are not prepaying for years. You get two very cheap months to move sites over and test performance on DigitalOcean, Vultr, AWS or Google Cloud, then pay the normal monthly rate. For agencies moving a batch of client sites, the free migrations are worth more than the discount.
ScalaHosting started its sale on October 19 and runs it until December 1. Entry Cloud falls from $39.95 to $11.21 a month on a one-year term, which is 72% off, and managed cloud Builds 1 to 4 carry discounts of up to 71% on the same term.
Notice that the one-year deal is the better one here. The three-year term is discounted less, so you get most of the saving without a long commitment. That makes ScalaHosting a good pick for a store or membership site that has outgrown shared hosting but does not need a full DevOps setup.
ChemiCloud’s sale runs from November 2 to December 7. Starter is $1.49 a month, Pro $2.49 and Turbo $3.49 on 36-month terms, with discounts of up to 88% applied automatically at checkout.
ChemiCloud is a smaller host than the household names on this list, and it has built its reputation on support and uptime rather than on upsells. If you want cheap, long-term shared hosting with fewer surprises in the cart, it is one of the cleaner deals of the season.
Hosting.com, the rebranded A2 Hosting, is running its sale from November 2 to December 1. New customers can take an extra 5% off one to four year plans with the code BLACKFRIDAY, and managed WordPress is already down to $4.49 a month for the first year.
The extra 5% is small, but it stacks on prices that were already discounted, and A2 always had a loyal following among developers who care about page speed. It is a sensible pick for WordPress sites where Core Web Vitals matter.
HostPapa has the largest advertised discount in this list, up to 90% off shared and optimized WordPress hosting, with plans starting at $1.25 a month. The sale also covers VPS and dedicated servers.
Treat the 90% as a ceiling, not the price most people pay. It applies to the cheapest plan on the longest term. HostPapa is still a solid option for small businesses that want phone support and a low starting price, especially in Canada where the company is based.
IONOS is discounting both web hosting and WordPress hosting for Black Friday, with first-year prices starting at roughly a dollar a month and a free domain and SSL certificate on eligible plans.
For a placeholder site, a side project or a small local business page, it is hard to spend less. The trade-off is that IONOS prices are built around the first year, so plan to either move or accept a much higher bill in year two.
Bluehost has changed its approach this year. Instead of one deep discount, it takes 15% off one product, 20% off two and 25% off three, on 12-month terms, until November 30. The Starter plan comes in at $4.24 a month and renews at $11.99.
That is a smaller saving than the multi-year deals above, but the short term means a smaller upfront payment. It suits beginners who want WordPress preinstalled and plan to add email or a site builder in the same purchase.
Nexcess, part of Liquid Web, is offering up to 75% off its managed hosting, including its WooCommerce and Magento plans, and bundles premium plugins with its WordPress plans.
If you run a store, this is the deal to look at before the busiest trading days of the year hit. Nexcess plans include caching, staging and performance monitoring designed for ecommerce traffic, which is what you want if your own Black Friday sale drives a spike.
InMotion is running one of the longest sales of the season, through December 16, with up to 75% off shared hosting and discounts on dedicated servers.
InMotion is a good fit for small businesses and freelancers who want US-based support and room to grow into VPS or reseller plans without changing providers.
A cheap first year is easy to find. A good hosting deal is one that still makes sense when the invoice for year two or year four arrives. These are the questions to answer before you pay.
Multiply the sale price by the number of months, then add the renewal price for the year after. A $1.49 plan that renews at $12 can cost more over five years than a $4 plan that renews at $8. Hosts list renewal prices in the cart or the terms, so look before you check out.
Shared hosting is fine for brochure sites and blogs. If you run a store, a membership site or more than a handful of client sites, managed cloud or VPS hosting like Cloudways, ScalaHosting or Nexcess will handle traffic spikes better, and Black Friday is the cheapest time to make that move.
Moving a site is where most of the hidden cost sits. Cloudways offers unlimited free migrations in this sale and several other hosts include at least one free migration. If you are moving more than one site, that can be worth more than the discount itself.
The deepest prices need three or four years upfront. That is fine for a stable business site. For a new project, a one-year term at a slightly higher price leaves you free to move if the project changes or the host disappoints.
Most hosts offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, but it often excludes domain fees and setup costs. Check the refund terms on Black Friday plans specifically, because a few providers treat sale purchases differently.
For most people, Hostinger is the best overall Black Friday hosting deal in 2026 because of its long sale window and four-year pricing. Agencies and growing sites should look at Cloudways for its two cheap months and free migrations, while ScalaHosting is the strongest choice if you want managed VPS on a one-year term. If the lowest possible upfront price is the goal, HostPapa, IONOS and ChemiCloud all start below $1.50 a month.
Whichever you choose, check the renewal price, buy before the window closes and keep a note of your renewal date. For the bigger picture on planning your own sale this year, read our BFCM marketing strategy playbook.
