ChemiCloud Starter Shared Hosting: $1.95 vs $11.95 Renewal

The current price path is straightforward again

The live Shared Hosting page currently shows Starter at $1.95/month with a $11.95 regular-price reference and an 84% discount label. That is the current public offer used for this buying decision. The expired Birthday Sale remains useful only as evidence that ChemiCloud promotions can change; it should not be presented as a live competing price.

ChemiCloud's Terms say promotional pricing applies only to the initial term and renewal uses the then-current standard rate unless a specific promotion says otherwise. They also say renewal pricing can change with advance notice. So $11.95 is a current public reference, not a promise that every future renewal will remain at exactly that amount. Save the selected billing cycle and actual checkout total before paying.

The Starter resource envelope is specific

Starter currently lists one website, 20GB NVMe storage, 2GB memory, one CPU core, 250,000 inodes and unmetered bandwidth. ChemiCloud presents its monthly-visits figure as an estimate rather than a hard traffic restriction.

That makes the plan easier to size for one small conventional site. If the site is already close to 20GB, creates many files, or needs more sustained CPU or memory, the 84% first-term discount is not a good reason to force the workload into the entry tier.

Use the free migration within 60 days

ChemiCloud's current migration guide says a free migration can be requested within 60 days after the order is activated. It includes up to 200 cPanel accounts or up to 10 non-cPanel website accounts; additional migrations or requests after the included window can be charged.

The Terms also place backup responsibility on the customer during transfers. Keep the old host active and maintain an independent copy until the new site, database, SSL, DNS and email have all been checked.

Ten daily backups are a recovery layer, not the archive

The Starter page advertises 10 daily backups and ChemiCloud uses JetBackup. The Terms, however, describe nightly backups as an administrative service that is not guaranteed and require customers to maintain their own backups on personal or external storage.

Those statements are compatible: the plan includes provider-side recovery points, but they should not be the only copy. The hosting account also should not be used primarily as a backup repository.

The 45-day initial guarantee and renewal refund are different

Qualifying first-time Shared Hosting service has a 45-day money-back window beginning at account activation. Domain fees, paid migrations, add-ons and other listed items are excluded.

Unexpected renewals follow a different process. Current Terms say eligible Shared Hosting renewal-refund requests must be made within seven days after renewal. They describe a partial monetary refund with a 10% deduction or full account credit, while monthly renewals are non-refundable.

Who Starter fits—and what to save before paying

Starter can fit one small site when 20GB and the published shared-resource limits leave room, migration can be completed within 60 days, and an independent backup is part of the operating routine.

Before paying, save the current offer page, selected billing cycle, checkout total, current regular-price reference and migration activation date. If you need several sites, higher sustained resources, or a more predictable long-term price, compare a higher tier or another host instead of letting the $1.95 headline make the decision by itself.
