Hostinger Pricing 2026
A practical look at the advertised entry price, expected renewal cost, billing commitment, included features, and the numbers worth checking before you buy.
What Hostinger really costs
Hostinger currently advertises an entry price of $2.99/mo (recorded offer: 48 months prepaid). The recorded renewal rate is $10.99/mo, so the post-promotion budget matters as much as the launch price.

What the 48-month Premium offer costs
Hostinger’s Premium Web Hosting price is shown as $2.99 per month when you buy 48 months upfront. The offer page lists $143.52 for the first 48 months and a $10.99/month renewal rate. The $2.99 figure is a monthly equivalent, not a monthly bill. The first payment can change with taxes, selected extras, region, and the offer available when you check out.
| Plan used for this example | Premium Web Hosting |
|---|---|
| Advertised first-term equivalent | $2.99/month |
| Required promotional term | 48 months paid upfront |
| Advertised first-term payment | $143.52 before taxes and optional extras |
| Listed renewal equivalent | $10.99/month; confirm the renewal billing period in your account |

Budgeting for only two years? The advertised $2.99 rate still requires the full $143.52 first payment for four years. Enter a 48-month introductory term in our hosting renewal cost calculator, even when your planning window is shorter. It will count the entire required prepayment.
What happens after the promotional term?
The listed $10.99/month is a renewal equivalent. A USD cart checked September 25, 2026, for the 48-month Premium offer stated a renewal at $10.99 per month for 12 months after the initial term, or $131.88 for that renewal term before taxes and extras at the displayed rate. This is a cart snapshot, not a guarantee of the amount four years from now. Check the actual renewal amount and billing period under Billing → Subscriptions in your Hostinger account well before the first term ends. Hostinger says this screen displays the renewal price excluding taxes.
The Premium offer includes a domain free for the first year and two mailboxes per website free for the first year. Those one-year benefits end long before a 48-month hosting term does. Check the subsequent domain and email prices separately; the hosting renewal number alone will not cover them. The offer also lists three websites, 20 GB of SSD storage, and weekly backups. Check the current plan inclusions.
Refunds, cancellation, and the free domain
Hostinger advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee, but the refund policy controls eligibility. Eligible products generally must be canceled within 30 days of the applicable transaction. Domain registrations and other products can follow different rules. If a refunded hosting purchase included a free domain, Hostinger says the domain’s standard price may be deducted from the refund. Disabling auto-renewal should not be treated as a request for a refund.
Who should consider the 48-month deal?
This term is easier to justify if you expect to keep a small WordPress site for several years and can pay the full first invoice today. A shorter project should compare the actual checkout totals of shorter terms rather than assuming the advertised monthly equivalent applies to them. For a different billing structure, compare our Hostinger vs DreamHost guide and the full Hostinger review. The right choice depends on your site needs, total term cost, and renewal budget.
Four details to verify at checkout
Before canceling, read our refund and cancellation checklist.
- Billing period: Confirm how much is charged today, not only the monthly equivalent.
- Renewal date: Note when the promotional term ends and the standard rate begins.
- Optional extras: Remove add-ons you do not need and check which included services later become paid.
- Refund rules: Read exclusions for domains, setup fees, monthly plans, and upgrades.
Is Hostinger good value?
The entry rate can be attractive, but value depends on the required commitment, the renewal step-up, and whether you will actually use the included features. Compare the full-term cost with the alternatives before deciding.
