Why the renewal total matters
A low first-year price can leave out domain renewals, Windows licensing, backups or setup. Compare the same services over the same period. This calculator shows cash payments; a two-year domain term can require payment now for coverage beyond the three-year comparison.
How the calculation works
Year one includes the first annual hosting payment, first domain term, twelve monthly extras and setup. Years two and three use your annual hosting renewal amount. A one-year domain renews in both years; a two-year domain renews only in year three. The example begins at the start of both services, not halfway through an existing contract.
For .pk, PKNIC uses two-year billing periods. Enter the full term amount. Do not enter an annual equivalent in a field labelled βfirst term.β
Where to find the right inputs
Use the amounts in your quote or checkout. Compare hosting plans, domain prices and VPS extras. For an existing service, use its renewal invoice rather than a new-customer promotion.
