Hostinger pricing

What Hostinger really costs tier by tier, and why the renewal rate, not the intro price, decides your bill.

Hostinger publishes three shared web hosting tiers, but the headline price is only the first term. The lowest rate needs a long prepaid commitment, up to 48 months, and the number that matters is what you pay when that term ends, because renewals climb two to four times higher. Plans run from Premium through Business to Cloud Startup, each adding sites, faster storage and more power. There is no monthly billing at the cheapest rate. Below is each plan as published, then the things that move the number.

What moves the real bill

The renewal, not the intro, sets the bill.

Four things tend to separate Hostinger's headline price from what you actually pay over time. Plan for these before you commit.

The renewal jump. Intro rates apply to the first prepaid term, then renew two to four times higher. Premium renews near $10.99, Business near $16.99 and Cloud Startup near $25.99 a month, so the renewal is the figure to budget for.
Term length and prepayment. The lowest rates require a long term paid upfront, up to 48 months. Shorter terms cost more per month, and the very cheapest price is not offered on monthly billing.
Free extras that expire. The free domain and free email marketing cover the first year only, then bill at standard rates on renewal, so add those to your year two budget.
Resources, not just site count. Premium runs on SSD with weekly backups, while Business and Cloud Startup add faster NVMe storage, daily backups and more RAM. Growth in traffic or resource use, not site count, is what usually prompts an upgrade.
Pricing questions

Hostinger pricing FAQ

How much does Hostinger cost per month?

Intro rates are $2.99 for Premium, $3.99 for Business and $7.99 for Cloud Startup per month on long prepaid terms. Renewals are higher, for example Premium near $10.99 and Cloud Startup near $25.99. Pricing as of June 2026; check the vendor for current pricing.

Why does Hostinger get more expensive at renewal?

Because the advertised price is an introductory rate tied to your first prepaid term, which can run up to 48 months. When that term ends, the plan renews at the standard rate, often two to four times the intro price. The renewal, not the sticker, is the real long term cost.

Which Hostinger plan is best value?

Business at $3.99 is the value pick for most sites, adding NVMe storage, daily backups, a free CDN and managed WordPress tools over Premium. Premium suits a single small site, while Cloud Startup fits higher traffic sites that need more power.

Is the Hostinger free domain really free?

It is free for the first year on annual and longer plans. After that the domain renews at its standard registration price, so budget for the domain renewal alongside the hosting renewal. Verified June 2026; check the vendor for current pricing.
