| Category | IONOS | Hostinger |
|---|---|---|
| Entry rate | $4.00/mo | $2.49/mo prepaid for 48 months |

| Hosting Review Lab score | 4.2/5 | 4.6/5 |
| Billing term | 12 months | 48 months prepaid |
Monthly prices often depend on paying for a longer term up front. Use the exact plan, term, add-ons, and renewal rate shown at checkout to calculate the first term and renewal cost, understand how renewal pricing works, check what a money-back guarantee covers.
Hostinger earns our overall recommendation for ease of use and feature density. IONOS is the better fit when generous storage, technical controls, and a clearly stated renewal step-up are higher priorities. Prices and terms change, so confirm the final plan details before purchasing.
