Hostinger Plans and Pricing in 2026: Which Plan, What It Costs in Your Country

Sale update, 30 October 2026: Hostinger's Black Friday sale runs from 19 October to 14 December 2026, and every price below is a sale price. For the live deal figures and the dates that matter, see Hostinger's Black Friday prices.

How Hostinger pricing works (and why your price differs)

Hostinger does not run one global price list. It runs a separate store for each country, each with its own currency, sale price and renewal rate. Premium is $2.49 a month on the US store, GBP 2.39 on the UK store, A$2.99 on the Australian store and INR 139 on the India store, and none of these is an exchange-rate conversion of another. Please do not convert one country's price into your own currency and assume it holds.

The price tables on this page follow your country. Visit from the UK and they show the UK store; from Canada, the Canada store, and so on. Anywhere else you see the US store in USD, which is also Hostinger's default. The prose on this page quotes the US store in USD and says so each time. If you are buying in India, the rupee prices and 18% GST are covered in our India edition of this guide.

The plans, and the Business to Unlimited rename

Hostinger renamed its mid-tier plan in September 2026: the old Business plan is now called Unlimited. If a comparison you are reading still talks about Business as a current plan, it is out of date.

These are the shared and cloud plans on sale today:

A note on the word "unlimited". Hostinger lists the Unlimited and Cloud Startup plans as unlimited websites, subject to its fair-usage policy; its partner dashboard showed 50 websites for Unlimited in September 2026 and showed unlimited when we re-read it on 30 October 2026, so older articles that say 50 are out of date. The limits that still work for planning are the visit and file figures Hostinger publishes next to it: around 100,000 visits a month and 600,000 files and directories on Unlimited, and roughly 200,000 visits and 2,000,000 files on Cloud Startup.

The two lines that decide most purchases are backups and visits per month. Weekly backups on Single and Premium mean a bad plugin update can cost you six days of work. Daily backups start at Unlimited. For any site that takes enquiries or payments, that is the line worth paying to cross.

What you pay today, in your country

This table shows the 48-month sale price, the price through our partner link, the total due today and the renewal rate for the country store you are visiting from.

For reference, here is the US store in USD, checked 30 October 2026, all on the 48-month term:

Hostinger shows a per-month figure but bills the entire term up front. Taxes may be added at checkout depending on your country and billing address; Hostinger's pricing pages do not state VAT or sales tax.

How the partner-link discount works

Our link, /go/hostinger/, adds 20% off the first term of a new plan on top of the sale price. It is applied automatically as the coupon REFERRALDISCOUNT, and code VGRAPLE is the same offer. It is tied to the link and lasts 7 days from the click. It is not valid on renewals or on anything you already bought, and Hostinger's terms say other promo codes will not add anything on top. We are a Hostinger partner, so use the link if you want the discount.

On the US store, 20% off the 48-month sale price saves $24.00 on Premium, $33.60 on Unlimited and $76.80 on Cloud Startup.

Price at every term length

The same plan costs very different amounts per month depending on how long you commit. This table shows the price per month at 12, 24 and 48 months through our partner link:

On the US store through our link, Unlimited is $3.99 a month for 12 months, $3.59 for 24 months and $2.79 for 48 months. Premium is $3.19, $2.79 and $1.99, and Cloud Startup is $7.99, $7.19 and $6.39. Taking 12 months to "try it" costs about 43% more per month on Unlimited and brings the renewal price three years sooner. Hostinger's 30-day money-back guarantee already covers the trial, so there is little reason to take the short term.

The renewal warning

The low price applies to the first term only. After that, Hostinger charges its renewal rate, which is several times higher:

On the US store, Premium renews at $10.99 a month (about 4.4 times the $2.49 sale price), Unlimited at $16.99 (about 4.9 times $3.49) and Cloud Startup at $25.99 (about 3.3 times $7.99). Four more years at the renewal rate would cost about $527.52 for Premium, $815.52 for Unlimited and $1,247.52 for Cloud Startup. This is exactly why the 48-month term is the right one: it keeps the low rate for the longest window Hostinger offers. Put the renewal date in your calendar now, and decide before it arrives whether to renew or move the site. For the full picture, read what Hostinger really charges at renewal.

Which plan for which site

One simple site and the tightest possible budget. Single, where your country's store sells it (it is not on the US, Canada or Australia stores, where Premium is the entry plan). Be clear about what you give up: one website, 10 GB, weekly backups, no CDN, no priority support and no free domain at any term.

A 5-page company site, a portfolio, a consultant or practitioner profile site. Premium. Three websites, 20 GB, a free domain for the first year and free SSL. Backups are still only weekly, so we add our own offsite backup on client sites that sit here.

A 10-20 page WordPress business site with a blog, lead forms and an Elementor or similar theme. Unlimited. This is the plan that replaced Business and it is the one most of our 45+ client sites sit on. The step up from Premium buys NVMe storage, daily backups with easy restore, a CDN, AI tools, priority 24/7 support and roughly four times the monthly visit allowance (about 100,000 against 25,000). For a normal business site, that is the best value on the list. The difference between the two is covered in Hostinger Premium vs Unlimited.

A WooCommerce store, a membership site, a booking system, or anything expecting more than 100,000 visits a month. Cloud Startup. You get dedicated CPU and RAM instead of a shared pool, a dedicated IP, priority support and no neighbour-noise slowdowns during a sale. The side-by-side is in Unlimited vs Cloud Startup.

You run 5 or more client sites. Look at Hostinger's Agency Hosting. Each site gets an isolated environment and its own access, which matters the day a client wants to leave or hand a site to another developer.

What is included, and what is not really free

Included across the plans:

• Free SSL certificate with automatic renewal
• LiteSpeed web server with built-in caching for WordPress
• hPanel control panel, which is simpler than cPanel and fine for non-technical owners
• 30-day money-back guarantee
• 24/7 chat support, though priority support only starts on Unlimited (there is no phone support on any plan)
• A choice of server location when you set up the plan

The free domain caveat. A free domain for the first year comes with Premium, Unlimited and Cloud Startup on 12-month or longer terms. Single never includes one, and neither does the 1-month term. After the first year the domain renews at Hostinger's standard domain price, so budget for it separately.

The free email caveat. The bundled mailbox is Hostinger's own, not Google Workspace. Premium gives you two mailboxes per website free for the first year, and Unlimited gives you unlimited mailboxes, also free for the first year only. If your team lives in Gmail, budget for Workspace separately.

Fair usage. "Unlimited" websites, mailboxes and bandwidth are all subject to a fair usage policy, which in practice only bites on the shared plans if a site suddenly takes tens of thousands of visitors.

Cloud, VPS and business email

Cloud Startup is the entry point to Hostinger's cloud range, not the whole tier. Higher cloud plans add RAM and storage rather than a different kind of hosting, so move up when a store starts to slow down, not on day one. Cloud is managed: Hostinger runs the server and you run the site. VPS is an unmanaged virtual server where you own the operating system and the security patches. VPS is not the cheaper option, and unless someone on your side can administer Linux, cloud is the better buy. Hostinger also sells paid business email per mailbox; the free mailbox in a hosting plan lasts only the first year. VPS and email prices are set separately in each store. These are the US store figures, read on 30 October 2026 while the sale runs (to 14 December); other countries differ, so check your own store. "Sale price" is the public price and "via our link" includes the 20% partner discount on the first term.

VPS, 24-month term, per month:

Business email, 48-month term, per mailbox per month:

Hostinger's email page also advertises a buy-two-mailboxes-get-one-free offer. Email is cheap enough that the renewal price, not the sale price, is the number to plan around.

Our recommendation

For a business that plans to be around in four years, buy Cloud Startup on the 48-month term through our partner link if the site is a store or expects real traffic. If the budget does not stretch, Unlimited on 48 months is the best value on the list and the plan we put most client sites on. Skip Premium unless the site is genuinely brochure-only, and treat Single as a personal-project plan rather than a business one.

Whichever plan you pick, check the price shown for your own country on the cart page before you pay. Prices were checked on 30 October 2026 and Hostinger's own deal pages say some figures may move from 9 November.
