WHAT IT COSTS IN YEAR TWO
HostPapa does not print its renewal prices, so year two is unknown.

Read from www.hostpapa.com/web-hosting-plan. “First two years” assumes the advertised term, then the renewal rate. Where a price is not printed we leave it blank rather than estimating one.
PRICING VS VALUE
