Hostinger pricing explained: plans, renewals and what costs extra
What the three plans cost on the term the company advertises, what the renewal beside each rate is, and which lines sit outside the plan.
What Hostinger costs
Hostinger sells three web hosting plans, and the page quotes every one of them on the longest term the company offers rather than the shortest. Two figures describe each plan, and the gap between them is the whole of the offer: the rate that brought you to the page, and the renewal printed beside it.
| Plan | Storage | Rate on a 48-month term | Paid upfront | Renews at |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | 20 GB SSD | $2.99/mo | $143.52 | $10.99/mo |
| Unlimited | 50 GB NVMe | $3.99/mo | $191.52 | $16.99/mo |
| Cloud Startup | 100 GB NVMe | $7.99/mo | $383.52 | $25.99/mo |
Everything in this table is Hostinger’s own, taken from its web hosting page on 16 September 2026. The monthly figure is the plan price divided by the forty-eight months it is charged for, so the amount that leaves the account on the day of purchase is the upfront column. Hostinger can reprice at any time, and both numbers on a card move with it.
How we checked the plan cards
A pricing page can carry three prices for one plan, and knowing which is which is most of the work. Hostinger prints the promotional rate, the regular rate that promotion replaces, and the renewal that applies once the term ends, which means the page itself answers the question most readers arrive with.
Three prices, one plan, and the date the cards were read printed with the table: that is the whole of what this page reads. Every figure on it is one the company puts in public, so there is nothing here that only a customer could have seen.
What the plans are worth at renewal is a judgement rather than a figure, and our full Hostinger review makes that one on the same criteria it applies to every host in the group.
What changes between the plans
One service is sold at three sizes, and the limits that separate them move together rather than one at a time.
Storage and websites rise as one
The entry plan caps both how much can be stored and how many sites can be hosted on it. The rung above lifts both caps at once, and the top rung lifts them again, which means the choice between the three is usually settled by how many sites you mean to run rather than by the storage figure on its own.
The storage type differs on the entry plan
The cheapest plan lists its storage as SSD where the two above it list NVMe, which is a line worth reading twice if write speed matters to what the site does. Everything else in that group is common to all three: the same CDN, the same free certificate, and the same unlimited bandwidth on a 1 Gbps connection.
Backups and restores divide the range
The entry plan takes a backup weekly. Both plans above it take one daily, and the top rung adds on-demand copies that can be restored without waiting for the next run. Mailboxes and the AI Builder credits follow a similar shape: a smaller allocation at the entry, a larger one above it, and mailboxes free for the first year on all three.
What adds to the bill
A headline rate is an opening figure, and the running cost is what the lines below turn it into. The host prints each of them before you pay.
The second term is priced separately
The renewal is not the promotional rate continued; it is the plan’s own monthly price, and it is what the site costs once the first term is behind you. Reading the two numbers together is what turns a headline figure into a budget, which is the reason both are printed on the same card.
The first-year extras stop being free
A domain and the mailboxes arrive inside the first year rather than inside the plan. The domain is free on an order of a year or longer, and the mailboxes are free for the first twelve months; after that each is a renewal of its own and is billed separately from the hosting.
The guarantee has its own terms
The web hosting page describes a thirty-day money-back window on the purchase. The refund policy page applies its own terms on top of that, and a domain registered alongside a plan is treated separately from the hosting it came with, so the two pages are worth reading together before assuming what a refund would return.
“Unlimited” is bounded by a policy
The plans above the entry rung are sold as unlimited in websites and mailboxes, and the same page attaches a fair usage policy to those lines. That is normal for shared hosting and it is worth knowing: an unlimited allowance describes how the host tolerates ordinary use rather than a measured quantity you can plan against.
What the plan rate does not settle
Support is the other figure this ladder does not carry. Hostinger describes its desk as priority and round the clock without publishing a first-response time, so where an hour offline costs money the plan rate is not the number that settles the choice; that criterion is weighed in our Hostinger review alongside the rest.
What the plan ladder adds up to
The three rungs are separated by limits rather than by features, so the cheapest one that carries the sites you actually run is usually the right buy, and the term is the figure worth being deliberate about rather than the rate. Four years is a long time to know the answer in advance.
Those figures say what the plans cost. What the service does at that price is a separate reading, made on the same criteria as every other host in the group in our full Hostinger review, with the wider comparison in the guide to the hosts we have reviewed.
Sources
Hostinger (hostinger.com), checked 16 September 2026: the web hosting page for what each of the three cards quotes, which term that quote is tied to, and the amount it charges on the day; the plan cards for storage, websites, mailboxes and backups; and the refund policy page for the guarantee and for a domain bought alongside a plan.
