Hostinger web hosting prices by term
All plans are paid upfront. The monthly rate is the total divided by the months in the plan. During the current sale, the 12, 24 and 48-month terms all show the same low monthly price, but they renew at the same higher rate.
| Per month (total) | 1 month | 12 months | 24 months | 48 months | Renews |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | $12.99 | $1.99 ($23.88) | $1.99 ($47.76) | $1.99 ($95.52) | $10.99 |
| Unlimited | $18.99 | $2.79 ($33.48) | $2.79 ($66.96) | $2.79 ($133.92) | $16.99 |
| Cloud Startup | $27.99 | $9.99 ($119.88) | $8.99 ($215.76) | $7.99 ($383.52) | $25.99 |
Source: hostinger.com/pricing, checked November 7, 2026, location United States, prices in USD before tax, Black Friday sale active. The 1-month plan renews at its own monthly price ($12.99, $18.99 and $27.99). On October 26, 2026 the same page showed $2.49 and $3.49 for Premium and Unlimited on 48 months; the renewal rates did not change.
Hostinger's pricing page says each plan "renews at" that rate "for the same term". If you buy 48 months, the renewal is another 48 months at the renewal rate unless you change it.
What the cart actually shows
We added the Unlimited plan to the real Hostinger cart for 48 months. The renewal line is right under the period selector: "Renews after 48 months at $16.99/mo for 48 months."
Our checkout, October 19, 2026, when the 48-month price was $3.49/mo. The first-term price is lower now ($2.79), but the renewal line is the same. Taxes in the screenshot are for our test location; yours depend on your country.
The cart also shows what is free in the first term on this plan: daily backups, the domain for one year and domain privacy protection.
How much does Hostinger cost over 4 years?
This is the number that matters (we compare it across six hosts in the real cost of cheap hosting over 4 years, and you can run your own numbers in our hosting cost calculator). Hosting only, before tax, with the renewal rate for the remaining months:
| How you buy | Premium | Unlimited | Cloud Startup |
|---|---|---|---|
| 48 months upfront | $95.52 | $133.92 | $383.52 |
| 24 months, then renew 24 | $311.52 | $474.72 | $839.52 |
| 12 months, then renew yearly | $419.52 | $645.12 | $1,055.52 |
| Month to month | $623.52 | $911.52 | $1,343.52 |
👉 The cheapest way to cover 4 years is the 48-month term: lock the 48-month price at Hostinger and add coupon LEARN2EARN at checkout.
Example: Unlimited on a 12-month term costs $33.48 in year one, then $16.99 × 12 = $203.88 for each of the next three years, so $645.12 in total. The same four years bought upfront cost $133.92. That difference is bigger than any coupon.
What happens after year 4?
When a 48-month plan ends, the renewal rate applies. For Unlimited that is $16.99 × 48 = $815.52 for the next four years ($203.88 a year). For Premium it is $10.99 × 48 = $527.52, and for Cloud Startup $25.99 × 48 = $1,247.52. Plan for it now, so it is not a surprise later.
Hostinger VPS renewal prices
VPS plans work the same way. The best first-term price is on 24 months, then the plan renews at the rates below (checked on hostinger.com/pricing/vps-hosting on November 7, 2026).
| Plan | Specs | 24 months upfront | Renews | 4-year total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KVM 1 | 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB NVMe | $155.76 ($6.49/mo) | $11.99/mo | $443.52 |

Hostinger domain and email renewal prices
The domain that comes with hosting is free for the first year only. After that it renews at the normal price: $19.99 a year for a .com and $17.99 for a .org (checked November 7, 2026). Domain privacy stays free. See which plans include the free domain and how to claim it.
Business email renews at $1.59/mo per mailbox on Starter, $2.79 on Standard and $3.99 on Premium (checked November 3, 2026). The free mailboxes that come with hosting turn into a paid Starter plan after the first year if a payment method is saved. Put both dates in your calendar.
Does a coupon lower the renewal price?
No. A coupon lowers what you pay today, not the renewal rate. In our October test, the coupon LEARN2EARN took Unlimited on 48 months from $167.52 to $150.77 before tax, and the cart still showed the same $16.99/mo renewal. The coupon gives about 10% extra off the first term; check the final total in your cart, because the base price changes during sales. See our current deals for the code.
Our checkout with the coupon applied, October 19, 2026 (before the November price drop).

5 ways to pay less at renewal time
- Buy the longest term you are sure about. If you will keep the site for years, 48 months locks the low price the longest.
- Pick the plan you actually need. Premium (3 websites, weekly backups) renews at $10.99/mo; Unlimited (unlimited websites, daily backups) at $16.99/mo. Our Premium vs Unlimited comparison lists every difference, and our Hostinger review shows what each plan includes.
- Note your renewal date. Set a reminder about a month before, so you decide calmly instead of paying automatically.
- Check auto-renewal in your account. In hPanel you can see your subscriptions and their renewal settings. Turn auto-renewal off if you plan to move.
- Compare before you renew. Other hosts also renew higher. Our side-by-side comparisons show the 4-year cost including renewals: Hostinger vs hosting.com, Hostinger vs ChemiCloud, Hostinger vs Verpex, Hostinger vs Namecheap.
Is Hostinger still worth it after renewal?
For most beginners and freelancers, yes, if you buy a long first term. Four years of Unlimited for $133.92 is about $2.79 a month for unlimited websites, daily backups and a free first-year domain. Even after renewal, $16.99/mo is in the normal range for shared hosting with daily backups. It is a worse deal if you buy month to month or one year at a time, because you reach the renewal rate much sooner.

Yes. On November 7, 2026 each plan showed one renewal rate for every term: $10.99 (Premium), $16.99 (Unlimited) and $25.99 (Cloud Startup). Only the 1-month plan renews at its own higher monthly price.
