FastComet Black Friday 2026: Sale Dates, Real Prices and Better Deals

FastComet's Black Friday 2025 banner was on its homepage by November 22: "Starting at $1.79/mo now with 80% OFF". The surprise is what came before it. On October 17, FastComet's homepage already offered Starter "starting at $1.04/mo", lower than the Black Friday price. So with FastComet, the best price of the season has not always been on Black Friday. Today Starter is $1.99/mo on a 1-year term, against a regular $9.95.

I'm Mangesh, and I have tested FastComet Plus on the same WordPress site I use for every host. It answered in 172ms from New York and 420ms with 100 visitors at once. Below are FastComet's sale dates and prices from its own pages, what each plan renews at, and the deals I would pick for the same money.

When to Buy FastComet: October or Black Friday?

FastComet's homepage changes its offer through the autumn. In 2025 it showed Starter from $1.79 in early October, from $1.04 on October 17, from $1.79 again on November 3, and the "Black Friday 2025" banner at $1.79 with 80% off by November 22. In early December the banner was gone and the price stayed at $1.79.

• Watch FastComet's homepage from mid-October. Its lowest 2025 price came in October, not on Black Friday.
• Black Friday gives you a known price. The banner showed $1.79 last year and $1.34 in 2024, the best FastComet Black Friday on record.
• Compare before you buy. At the same price, ChemiCloud's Starter covers 36 months at $1.95 and was quicker in my test.

FastComet's Plans at a Glance

FastComet Black Friday Prices, Plan by Plan

FastComet sells four shared hosting plans, all with cPanel and NVMe storage. Here is what each costs on our standard price record, the upfront payment for 36 months, and the renewal rate. The 1-year term has the lowest monthly rate; 2 and 3 years cost more a month but keep the discount longer, and every term renews at the same regular rate.

US dollars before tax, outside a sale. FastComet's pricing page lists a 30-day money-back period, free website transfer and a malware scanner on every shared plan, and says: "The promotional price is for the first term only and renews at the regular rate."

Today's prices, straight from FastComet

This is FastComet's own pricing card today: Starter $1.99, Essential $2.99, Plus $3.99 and Extra $5.49 a month, with the regular price struck through under each.

What FastComet Offered on Past Black Fridays

We went back to FastComet's homepage as the Wayback Machine saved it around Thanksgiving each year, and to the same page a few weeks before and after. FastComet has no archived Black Friday page, and its plans page moved, so the homepage is the record: it shows the sale banner, the coupon code and, from 2023, the lowest "starting at" price, which is Starter.

The saved copies show the homepage, not a checkout, and the "starting at" price is the lowest plan only. FastComet's "% off" labels are measured against the regular rate, not against the price on the page before the sale. By early December the Black Friday banner was gone, in some years replaced by another code.

The best recorded Black Friday was 2024, at $1.34 for Starter, and in 2023 the sale also beat the October price. In 2025 the Black Friday banner matched the price FastComet had already shown in October. Today's $1.99/mo on a 1-year term, without a coupon, is close to the $1.79 sale price; on the 36-month term Starter costs $3.29/mo, $118.44 in all, against $64.44 at $1.79 and $48.24 at $1.34, if the sale price covers the whole term.

How FastComet Held Up in Our Tests

We ran the same WordPress site on FastComet Plus 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.

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: FastComet Plus failed 16 of 8,250, Hostinger Premium 66 of 8,250, SiteGround StartUp 165 of 3,300, and ChemiCloud Starter none of its 8,250.

Under a crowd, FastComet Plus was quicker than Hostinger Premium and SiteGround StartUp and dropped only a handful of requests. ChemiCloud's cheapest plan was quicker still and failed none. The weak spot is distance: Plus was quick from New York and Dallas but the slowest of the four on the 10-location average, so a site with most visitors in Asia or South America should pick the nearest of FastComet's data centers, or put a CDN in front.

What FastComet 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.

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; our FastComet test ran on Plus.

Two things stand out. Plus is the plan we can vouch for under load, and its renewal is the steep part of its bill: $215.40 for the fourth year alone. And the Black Friday saving is in the first term only: whatever the sale price, Starter's fourth year renews at $119.40.

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 $9.95/mo, $119.40 a year; Essential at $12.95/mo; Plus at $17.95/mo, $215.40 a year; Extra at $24.95/mo. FastComet has said this in the footnote of its homepage since 2023, and its pricing page says it today.

• Put the renewal date in your calendar when you buy, with a reminder about six weeks before.
• Take the 36-month term if you are sure about the host. The monthly rate is higher than on 1 year ($3.29/mo against $1.99/mo for Starter), but it holds for 36 months before the renewal, so over three years it costs far less than a 1-year term renewed twice.
• 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

1. Open FastComet's pricing page through our link. In a sale, the banner on the homepage names the code or shows the discounted price.
2. Pick the plan: Starter for one small site, Plus for several, Essential or Extra if you need more room on either.
3. Pick the 36-month term and read the upfront total.
4. Choose the data center closest to most of your visitors. Our test showed how much distance matters on this host.
5. Enter the code if the banner names one, then read the order summary, keep only the add-ons you chose, and check the renewal price before you pay.

Who Should Buy It

Our FastComet review covers how it works day to day, and our FastComet coupon page covers the rest of the year.

Check These Before You Pay

• The term and the total. FastComet's lowest monthly rate is on the 1-year term; 2 and 3 years cost more a month. Read the upfront total in the cart.
• The renewal. FastComet's footnote says the promotional price is for the first term only and renews at the regular rate: $9.95/mo for Starter.
• The plan for your sites. Starter and Essential host one website; Plus and Extra host unlimited sites.
• The data center. Pick the one closest to most of your visitors, or put a CDN in front.

What I Would Do

If FastComet is the host you want, I would watch its homepage from mid-October and buy at the lowest price I see before Black Friday weekend: in 2025 that was October's $1.04, not the $1.79 Black Friday banner. Then I would put the renewal date in my calendar, because Starter renews at $9.95/mo.

For the same money, though, I would take ChemiCloud: Starter at $1.95 a month covers 36 months, answered 100 visitors at once in 240ms and failed no requests in my test. If you have outgrown shared hosting, the Cloudways Black Friday deal is my pick.

FastComet Black Friday FAQ

When does FastComet Black Friday 2026 start?

Expect it in late November. Last year the "Black Friday 2025" banner was on FastComet's homepage by November 22, and it was gone by early December. Watch the homepage from mid-October too: on October 17, 2025 it offered Starter from $1.04, lower than the $1.79 Black Friday price.

Is the FastComet Black Friday price lower than the normal price?

In 2023 and 2024, yes: Starter started at $1.79 and $1.34 against $2.19 and $2.24 in early October. In 2025 it did not: the Black Friday banner showed $1.79, the same price FastComet's homepage showed in early October. Today Starter is $1.99/mo on a 1-year term, or $3.29/mo on 36 months, with no coupon.

Do I need a coupon code for FastComet Black Friday?

Usually. The 2021 to 2024 sales each named a code on the homepage (BFSALE75, CMSALE85, CMSALE85 and BF85), and the 2025 banner showed the discounted price without naming one. The code changed in most years, so use the one on FastComet's page at the time and check the price in the cart before you pay.

Does FastComet lock the Black Friday price for renewals?

No. Every FastComet homepage we have from 2023 on, and today's pricing page, says the promotional price is for the first term only and renews at the regular rate. Today that is $9.95/mo for Starter, $12.95/mo for Essential, $17.95/mo for Plus and $24.95/mo for Extra.

Does the FastComet Black Friday deal include a free domain?

It did in 2023 and 2024: those sale banners added a free domain, and from 2023 to October 2025 FastComet's homepage advertised a free domain for life. The November and December 2025 copies of the homepage, and today's pages, no longer show it. Today's pages list a free one-year domain renewal when you transfer a domain in.

Which FastComet plan should I buy on Black Friday?

For one small site, Starter has the lowest price and renewal. For several sites, Plus: unlimited websites, 3 CPU cores and the plan we tested, which answered 100 visitors at once in 420ms. Essential is one site with more storage and cores than Starter; Extra is Plus with more of everything.

Is FastComet fast enough for WordPress?

In our test, Plus answered in 172ms from New York with one visitor and 420ms with 100 at once, and stayed up 99.96% of the time over 54 days. It failed 16 of 8,250 requests on the climb to 250 visitors. That is quicker under load than Hostinger Premium and SiteGround StartUp, slower than ChemiCloud Starter, and the slowest of the four from far-away locations.

Can I get a refund on a FastComet Black Friday plan?

FastComet's pricing page lists a 30-day money-back period on every shared plan. Older pages said 45 days, so read the terms on the day you buy rather than a past offer.
