Quick answer: which InterServer plan to buy
Most people should start on InterServer's Standard plan: $2.50 for the first month, then $7/month, with unlimited websites, storage and email. Busy sites and stores should look at Boost 2 at $9.95/month, and developers who want root access can start a VPS from $3/month.
Prices below come from InterServer's own pages, cross-checked with two independent price trackers in October 2026. Where a figure comes only from a third party, we say so.

Check InterServer plansStandard web hosting: $2.50, then $7/month
InterServer's Standard hosting page lists these upfront payments:
| Term | First payment |
|---|---|
| Monthly | $2.50 for the first month |
| Six months | $15 |
| Twelve months | $30 |
| Twenty-four months | $60 |
The same page states that monthly hosting renews at $7/month. We could not confirm on official pages what the six, twelve and twenty-four month terms renew at, so check the renewal line in your basket before paying for a long term.
What you get, per the technical details page: unlimited websites, storage and email accounts, free SSL, the DirectAdmin control panel (not cPanel), weekly backups and free website migration. "Unlimited" still sits under a fair-use policy, and InterServer's terms forbid reselling shared hosting to others.
If you want the price never to rise, the separate $5/month campaign is covered in our Price Lock guide. Ways to cut the first payment further are in our InterServer coupon guide.
Boost plans: more power at a fixed price
Boost plans keep the unlimited allowances of Standard but give your account its own guaranteed share of processor and memory. That matters when traffic spikes or when a store runs checkout and stock updates at the same time. Specs below come from HostingSift's October 2026 listing; confirm them on InterServer's page before buying.
| Plan | Price | CPU | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boost 2 | $9.95/month | 2 cores | 4 GB |
| Boost 4 | $19.95/month | 4 cores | 8 GB |
| Boost X | $69.95/month | 10 cores | 20 GB |
Boost has no introductory discount, and trackers report it renews at the same price. That makes Boost 2 only $2.95/month more than Standard's renewal for a clear, measurable upgrade in resources.
cPanel, Windows and reseller hosting
- cPanel hosting is the same shared platform with cPanel instead of DirectAdmin. It starts at $2.50 and renews at $8/month, about $1/month more than Standard.
- Windows ASP.NET hosting costs $8/month and suits sites built with Microsoft tools. Most WordPress sites do not need it.
- Reseller plans run from $19.95 to $69.95/month and are the allowed route if you want to host client sites, since Standard forbids reselling.
VPS pricing: $3 per slice
InterServer's VPS is sold in "slices". The entry slice is $3/month with one core, 2 GB memory, 40 GB SSD storage and 2 TB transfer, and you add slices as you grow, up to 32. Windows VPS starts at $10/month.
Two warnings: servers under eight slices are self-managed, so you handle updates and security yourself, and VPS servers have no backups running by default. Our InterServer VPS review explains when the upgrade is worth it.
What you will really pay over two years
Headline prices hide the renewal. Here is the simple math for the first 24 months, before taxes, domains and add-ons:
| Plan | How it adds up | 24-month total |
|---|---|---|
| Standard, paid monthly | $2.50 + 23 x $7 | $163.50 |
| Standard, 24 months upfront | $60 upfront (renewal not confirmed) | $60 |
| Price Lock campaign | 24 x $5 | $120 |
| Boost 2 | 24 x $9.95 | $238.80 |
| Linux VPS, 1 slice | 24 x $3 | $72 |
The 24-month upfront term is clearly the cheapest way into Standard, but the price after month 24 is the unknown, so read the renewal line at checkout. A domain is not free on Standard, so add a yearly domain cost too.
Which plan should you pick?
- One new blog or business site: Standard. Pay upfront for the lowest total, or monthly if you want to test first.
- Several small sites on one account: Standard or Price Lock, since both allow unlimited websites.
- An online store or a site with steady traffic: Boost 2, moving to Boost 4 if checkout slows down.
- A developer project needing root access: a VPS from one slice, with your own backup plan.
- Client hosting: a reseller plan.

Check InterServer plansFrequently asked questions
How much does InterServer cost per month?
Standard shared hosting costs $2.50 for the first month and renews at $7/month. Boost shared plans cost $9.95, $19.95 and $69.95 per month, and Linux VPS starts at $3/month per slice. Prices were checked in October 2026; confirm them at checkout.
Does InterServer raise prices at renewal?
Only on the entry plans we checked. Standard hosting goes from $2.50 to $7/month and the cPanel version from $2.50 to $8/month. Independent price trackers report that Boost, VPS, Windows and reseller plans renew at the same price they start at.
What is the difference between Standard and Boost?
Both include unlimited websites, storage and email. Boost plans add guaranteed CPU cores and memory (from 2 cores and 4 GB RAM on Boost 2), which helps busier sites, at a fixed monthly price with no introductory discount.
Is the $5/month Price Lock plan the same as Standard?
No. Price Lock is a separate campaign that advertises $5/month for life on an eligible account ordered through that offer. The ordinary Standard plan has a $2.50 first month and a $7/month renewal.
Does InterServer require a long contract?
No. Standard hosting can be paid monthly, with optional six, twelve and twenty-four month terms. VPS is billed monthly too, so you can start small without a multi-year commitment.
Which InterServer plan is best for WordPress?
Standard is enough for most new blogs and small business sites. Move to Boost 2 if your site gets steady traffic or runs a store, because the guaranteed CPU and memory reduce slowdowns at busy times.
