I first renewed my domain name registration for another year with <a href="https://www.namecheap.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Namecheap</a> . I then logged into my SiteGround account and went to a page to renew my hosting plan. I received sticker shock when I saw the renewal rate. I had forgotten how much the renewal rate would increase since my initial year of hosting was at an introductory rate. There was no way I could afford to renew my hosting plan with SiteGround at the renewal rate, so I began looking into alternatives.</p>
