# How should you read monthly and annual hosting prices?

https://www.hostimor.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-should-you-read-monthly-and-annual-hosting-prices

For hosting and server packages, the billing period you select determines how the price is displayed on the card and which cycle is selected in your order.

## Monthly billing option

When **Monthly** is selected, the card shows the price of one month of service. On the order screen, check that the monthly cycle is selected and review the total amount due.

## Annual billing option

When **Annual** is selected, the large price is the monthly equivalent, that is, the annual total divided by 12 months. The **Annual total** is also shown separately at the bottom of the card. The monthly equivalent does not mean you will pay separately each month; the service fee for the annual cycle appears as a total on the order screen.

## Compare billing options

The link on the card for comparing billing options shows the total and the monthly equivalent of each available period side by side. The periods offered may differ for some packages; confirm the available options on the order screen.

## Final check before ordering

- Make sure you have selected the correct package name.
- Check the billing cycle and today's total.
- Review the domain name, additional services and applicable tax items at the payment step.

Prices on package pages are shown excluding taxes; applicable taxes are calculated at the payment step. [Return to packages](https://www.hostimor.com/en/hosting).
