Advertised entry price for the cheapest billing term. Nights when our scraper saw only part of HostGator's catalogue are excluded from the line. The hatched bands mark stretches with no reliable reading — the line stops there instead of carrying the last price across them. 10 nights failed our checks and are shown as gaps rather than price moves.
