ChemiCloud has not announced its 2026 Black Friday sale yet. On each of the last three, Starter was $1.95 a month on a 36-month term, against $2.95/mo on our standard price record, and in 2024 and 2025 Black Friday added two free months. The catch is that ChemiCloud runs sales most of the year: its most recent sale already had Starter at the same $1.95. After the first term Starter renews at $11.95/mo.
I tested ChemiCloud on the same WordPress site I use for every host, on all three shared plans. Starter answered in 84ms from New York with one visitor and 240ms with 100 visitors at once, and no request failed on the climb to 250. This page puts those results next to what each plan costs, what past Black Fridays offered, and what each plan renews at.

ChemiCloud sells three shared hosting plans, all on LiteSpeed servers with cPanel. Here is what each costs on our standard price record, on the 36-month and 12-month terms, with the upfront payment and the renewal rate. Every term renews at the same rate.
| Plan | 36 months | Paid upfront | 12 months | Renews at | A year at renewal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter tested | $2.95/mo | $106.20 | $3.49/mo | $11.95/mo | $143.40 |
| Pro tested | $2.95/mo | $106.20 | $4.49/mo | $17.95/mo | $215.40 |
| Turbo tested | $5.95/mo | $214.20 | $5.49/mo | $21.95/mo | $263.40 |
US dollars before tax, outside a sale. ChemiCloud's most recent sale, "Back to Build", cut the 36-month prices to $1.95 for Starter, $2.95 for Pro and $3.95 for Turbo, which ChemiCloud labels 84%, 84% and 82% off the renewal rates. Every plan lists free migrations, free SSL and a 45-day money-back guarantee; the domain is free for the first year on a 36-month plan.
What ChemiCloud Offered on Past Black Fridays
We went back to ChemiCloud's own pages as the Wayback Machine saved them on Black Friday weekend each year, and to the same pages a few weeks before and after. ChemiCloud fills its plan prices in with a script, so the saved copies keep the lowest "starting at" price, which is Starter on 36 months, and the sale banners.
| Year | What ChemiCloud's page said | Lowest price on the page | Lower than before the sale? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | "Black Friday Mega Sale", up to 80% off shared hosting; then a Cyber Monday sale | From $1.58 on Cyber Monday | Yes: from $3.95 at the end of September |
| 2022 | "Early Black Friday", 80% off; a Winter Sale in early December | From $1.99 | Yes: from $4.48 at the end of September |
| 2023 | "The Biggest Ever Black Friday Sale", up to 82% off | From $1.95 | Yes: from $2.99 in early October |
| 2024 | "Black Friday Sale", up to 82% off + 2 months free; Cyber Week sale until December 8 | From $1.95, plus 2 free months | Yes: from $2.95 in mid-October |
| 2025 | "Black Friday is live", up to 84% off + 2 bonus months; Cyber Week sale until December 7; Managed WordPress for $1 | From $1.95, plus 2 free months | Yes: from $2.49 in early October |
The saved copies show the prices on the page, not a checkout. ChemiCloud's "% off" labels are measured against its renewal rate, not against the price on the page before the sale. In 2024 the Cyber Week page also offered 4 free months on annual plans.
What this means for a buyer: Starter's Black Friday price has been $1.95 three years running, so it is a steady floor rather than a surprise. The difference between Black Friday and the rest of the year has narrowed: the most recent sale already reached $1.95, and the extra in the last two Black Fridays was two free months on the term. If the price on ChemiCloud's page is $1.95 when you need hosting, waiting for Black Friday has been worth two months, not a lower rate.
How ChemiCloud Held Up in Our Tests
We ran the same WordPress site on all three ChemiCloud plans and on the shared plans buyers usually compare it with. We measured response time (TTFB) from 10 locations at the origin server, with no CDN in front, a load ramp from 0 to 250 clients at once, and uptime over 54 days. Full method: How We Test.
| Host | TTFB, New York | 10 locations | 100 at once | Failed | Uptime |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ChemiCloud Starter | 84ms | 187ms | 240ms | 0% | 99.97% 23 minutes down |
| ChemiCloud Pro | 78ms | 174ms | 210ms | 0% | 99.979% 16 minutes down |
| ChemiCloud Turbo | 69ms | 154ms | 172ms | 0% | 99.99% 8 minutes down |
| ScalaHosting shared Advanced | 59ms | 132ms | 98ms | 0% | 99.99% 8 minutes down |
| Hostinger Premium | 276ms | 252ms | 520ms | 0.8% | 99.95% 39 minutes down |
| SiteGround StartUp | 312ms | 285ms | 900ms | 5% | 99.97% 23 minutes down |
Lower is better for response times. "10 locations" is the average TTFB across our 10 test locations; "100 at once" is the response time with 100 visitors at the same moment. Failed requests are counted over the whole load ramp, to 250 clients for every plan except SiteGround's, whose test ramped to 100: Hostinger Premium failed 66 of 8,250, SiteGround StartUp 165 of 3,300, and no ChemiCloud or ScalaHosting plan failed one of its 8,250.
What this means for a buyer: all three ChemiCloud plans answered 100 visitors at once in about a quarter of a second or less and failed no requests. Starter was about twice as quick under that load as Hostinger Premium and well ahead of SiteGround StartUp, which also dropped requests. Each step up the line was quicker than the one below, and Turbo had the least downtime of the three. ScalaHosting's shared Advanced was faster still, but it costs more per month on its 36-month term.
What ChemiCloud Costs Over Four Years, Compared
A low first-term price hides the renewal, so the fair comparison is the whole bill. Here is four years on each plan at standard prices: the first term at the intro price, then the renewal rate for the rest.
| Host and plan | First term | Four-year total | 100 visitors at once |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChemiCloud Starter | $2.95/mo, 36 months | $249.60 | 240ms |
| ChemiCloud Pro | $2.95/mo, 36 months | $321.60 | 210ms |
| ChemiCloud Turbo | $5.95/mo, 36 months | $477.60 | 172ms |
| Hostinger Premium | $2.99/mo, 48 months | $143.52 | 520ms |
| SiteGround StartUp | $3.99/mo, 12 months | $695.52 | 900ms |
| ScalaHosting shared Advanced | $9.95/mo, 36 months | $597.60 | 98ms |
Standard prices before tax, renewing on the same term. The test column is the same load ramp on the same WordPress site for every plan.
Two things stand out. Hostinger Premium costs least over four years because its intro price covers all 48 months, but under load it took more than twice as long as Starter and failed requests. And on ChemiCloud the Black Friday saving is in the first term only: at $1.95 instead of $2.95/mo, Starter's first 36 months cost $70.20 instead of $106.20, and the fourth year renews at $143.40 either way.
What Happens When the First Term Ends
The intro price, and any Black Friday price, is for your first term only. After it, Starter renews at $11.95/mo, $143.40 a year; Pro at $17.95/mo, $215.40 a year; Turbo at $21.95/mo, $263.40 a year. The free domain ends sooner: it is free for the first year only, then renews at ChemiCloud's domain price.
- Put the renewal date in your calendar when you buy, with a reminder about six weeks before. Do the same for the domain, which renews after one year.
- Take the 36-month term if you are sure about the host. It has the lowest monthly price, and every term renews at the same rate, so a longer first term only delays the renewal.
- Compare before it renews. Moving to another host can cost less than the renewal; our guide on whether to renew or move walks through the numbers.
How to Buy at the Lowest Price
- Open ChemiCloud's web hosting page through our link or directly. In a sale, the sale price shows on the plan cards.
- Pick the plan: Starter for one site, Pro for several, Turbo if you want the fastest plan we measured.
- Pick the 36-month term and read the upfront total. It is the term that carries the lowest price and the free first-year domain.
- Choose the data center closest to most of your visitors.
- Read the order summary, keep only the add-ons you chose, and check the renewal price before you pay.
Who Should Buy It
Our ChemiCloud review covers how it works day to day, and our ChemiCloud coupon page covers the rest of the year.
What We Did Not Test
- Black Friday checkouts. The past prices come from ChemiCloud's saved pages, not from a purchase, and the saved copies keep only the lowest "starting at" price, not every plan's.
- Managed WordPress, reseller and VPS plans. We benchmarked the three shared plans only.
- Support and refunds. This page measures servers and prices, not how quickly ChemiCloud answers a ticket or pays back a refund.
What I Would Do
If ChemiCloud's page already shows Starter at $1.95, I would not wait: that has been the Black Friday price for three years, and waiting has been worth two free months, not a lower rate. If it shows more, I would wait for Black Friday weekend, when $1.95 has come back every year since 2023. Either way I would put the renewal date in my calendar, because Starter costs $11.95/mo after that, and outside a sale Pro costs the same $2.95/mo as Starter, which makes it the better buy if you will ever host a second site.

ChemiCloud Black Friday FAQ
When does ChemiCloud Black Friday 2026 start?
ChemiCloud has not announced it yet. On the records we have, the Black Friday sale was on its pages on Black Friday weekend each year from 2021 to 2025, and it ran on as a Cyber Week sale into early December: in 2024 the page said the sale ended on December 8, and in 2025 on December 7. In 2022 ChemiCloud called it an Early Black Friday sale.
Is the ChemiCloud Black Friday price lower than the normal price?
Lower than ChemiCloud's standard price, yes. Starter was $1.95 a month on each of the last three Black Fridays, against $2.95/mo on our standard price record. But ChemiCloud runs sales most of the year, and the most recent one already had Starter at the same $1.95. What Black Friday added in 2024 and 2025 was two extra months on the term.
Do I need a coupon code for ChemiCloud Black Friday?
Not on the records we have: the Black Friday prices showed on ChemiCloud's own plan cards. Check the price in the cart before you pay rather than relying on an old code.
What does ChemiCloud renew at after the Black Friday term?
The sale price covers the first term only. Starter renews at $11.95/mo, Pro at $17.95/mo and Turbo at $21.95/mo, on every term. ChemiCloud's own sale banner counts its "84% off" against those renewal rates.
Is the ChemiCloud free domain free for life?
No. ChemiCloud's pricing page says the first year of domain registration is free when you choose a 36-month shared hosting plan. From the second year the domain renews at ChemiCloud's normal domain price.
Which ChemiCloud plan should I buy on Black Friday?
For one site, Starter: it answered 100 visitors at once in 240ms in our test. For more than one site, Pro: unlimited websites, twice Starter's memory, and 210ms under the same load. Turbo was the fastest plan we tested at ChemiCloud, 172ms, but it also renews highest.
Is ChemiCloud fast enough for WordPress?
In our tests, yes. Starter answered in 84ms from New York with one visitor and 240ms with 100 at once, with no failed request on the climb to 250 visitors, and stayed up 99.97% of the time over 54 days. That was about half Hostinger Premium's response time under the same load.
Can I get a refund on a ChemiCloud Black Friday plan?
ChemiCloud lists a 45-day money-back guarantee on every shared plan. Domain fees are usually handled apart from the hosting refund, so read ChemiCloud's refund terms before you pay if that matters to you.
