What actually happened
Each line is one classified event. A catalogue change is not a price change, so it is labelled rather than merged into one percentage — and promotions are not here at all, they have their own section below.

Promotions, not price changes
These providers drop their advertised price for a while and then put it back. The lines above follow the regular price, because a promotion ending is not a price increase — and drawing it as one is how a recurring discount turns into a history of rises and falls.
- Recurring GoDaddy discounts Shared by about 17%, typically 2 nights. Recorded 4 times between 23 Jul 2026 and 4 Aug 2026.
- One-off Scala Hosting discounts Shared by about 40%. Seen between 3 Jun 2026 and 4 Jun 2026.
- Recurring Bluehost discounts Shared by about 53%. Seen between 27 Mar 2026 and 28 Mar 2026.
Each provider is tracked through one plan — the cheapest one it currently sells of this type — so a line shows that plan's price, not a moving minimum across a changing catalogue. Where a line breaks, we had no reliable reading for those nights — we stop the line rather than carry the last price across the gap. Promotional stretches are kept out of the lines and listed separately: a discount that ends is not a price rise, and a discount that repeats is one promotion, not a history of ups and downs. Prices are converted to USD at a fixed rate. Every night is classified before it is drawn: nights we can't trust — a scrape that read only part of the catalogue, a run that copied one price across every plan, a provider whose listings change hourly — become gaps rather than price moves.In this category that is 292 provider-nights across 13 providers. Because we only track what our scrapers reach, a provider's cheapest plan here may not be the cheapest it sells.
