Hostinger plans & pricing: every plan explained

Six products, two prices each — the intro rate and the renewal rate. This page lays out the whole catalog, what each plan really costs after the first term, and which one your project needs.

Code ISMARTWEB at checkout
The 10-second router: Most small businesses want shared hosting (Premium or Business, from ~$2/mo). Want the site built for you by AI with zero setup? The Website Builder plans (from $2.99/mo). Outgrowing shared? Cloud (from $6.99/mo). Developer who wants root access? VPS (from $4.99/mo). Larger business? The new Business Bundle and AI Automation apps are at the bottom. Prices below were verified October 2026 — Hostinger runs promos constantly, so treat them as "from" prices and check the live price before buying.

Read this before any Hostinger price: the two-price system

Every Hostinger plan has two prices: the intro price, which applies to your entire first term, and the renewal price, which is 3–5× higher. Premium at $1.99/month renews around $10.99/month; Business at $2.99 renews around $16.99. This isn't a scam — it's the budget-hosting industry's standard model — but it changes how you should buy: the longest term you can afford is the real discount. A 48-month Premium term is roughly $96 total; the same four years bought annually costs several times that after renewals kick in. The free domain (year one) and free SSL come with 12-month-plus terms on the plans below.

Shared hosting — where most people should start

from $1.99/mo

Also sold as "Web Hosting" and "Managed WordPress hosting" — same plans, same prices, with WordPress pre-installed if you want it. This is the product our budget website guide is built around.

★ Business is the sweet spot: for about $1/mo more at intro pricing you get daily backups, CDN, staging, and room to grow. Premium is right for a simple site you'll rarely touch.

Website Builder — AI builds it, hosting included

from $2.99/mo

From $2.99/mo. The AI generates the site, then you edit drag-and-drop; hosting, SSL, and a year-one domain are bundled. Plans differ mainly in AI usage allowances — the entry tier includes a small number of AI generations per month, so it's a launch tool, not an unlimited content engine. Full comparison against 10Web and Wix AI in our AI builder guide.

Cloud hosting — shared simplicity, dedicated resources

from $6.99/mo

Same easy control panel as shared, but your sites get reserved CPU and RAM plus a dedicated IP — the natural upgrade when a store or a busy site starts straining a shared plan.

Business Bundle — cloud, email, and marketing in one

bundled price

New in 2026: Hostinger now bundles its three "larger business" products — Cloud hosting, Business Email at your domain, and Reach (its email-marketing tool) — at one combined price instead of three subscriptions. Aimed at businesses that have outgrown shared hosting and are paying separately for a mail-marketing tool.

Cloud hosting
Reserved CPU/RAM and a dedicated IP — the Cloud tiers from the table above.
Business email
Professional inboxes at your domain, beyond the mailboxes bundled with hosting.
Reach email marketing
Newsletters and campaigns priced by subscriber count — replaces a separate Mailchimp-style bill.

The bundle is new and pricing is quoted at checkout rather than published. Worth pricing against the three pieces separately if you'd use all three; skip it if you don't send marketing email.

VPS hosting — full servers for developers

from $4.99/mo

Unmanaged KVM virtual servers with root access. Serious capability per dollar — but you install, secure, and maintain everything yourself. If "SSH" isn't in your vocabulary, stay on shared or cloud.

AI Automation apps — a personal AI assistant, hosted for you

one plan

Hostinger's newest line: one plan that runs your choice of AI automation app — switch between them anytime. Each deploys managed from the dashboard in about a minute, so you get an always-on AI assistant without touching a server.

Hostinger Agent
A ready-made AI "team" for daily business tasks — the easiest starting point.
OpenClaw & Hermes
Personal, always-on assistants that keep context and run continuous automations around the clock.
n8n (self-hosted)
Node-based workflow automation with full control — the power-user option, managed on Hostinger.

Honest take: this category is brand new across the whole industry. It's genuinely useful if you already know what you want an AI assistant to automate; if you're just curious, start with the Website Builder's built-in AI and come back when you have a repetitive task worth automating. One subscription covers any of the apps.

Match the product to your project

  • 5-page business site, portfolio, local service — Premium. Cheapest complete setup; our default recommendation.
  • WooCommerce store, agency client sites, growing blog — Business. The backups, CDN, and staging stop being optional once a site earns money.
  • Zero-effort launch, no design time — Website Builder. AI first draft in minutes; see the weekend launch plan.
  • High traffic, multiple busy sites — Cloud Professional. Reserved resources without server administration.
  • Custom apps, Node/Python backends, full control — VPS KVM 2 is the value pick of the four.

Domains are near-free with hosting (year one included on 12-month-plus terms; many extensions from $0.99 standalone), and every plan includes free SSL. Email inboxes at your domain are bundled with the shared and cloud tiers — no Google Workspace bill needed to start.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Hostinger cost per month?

Shared hosting starts around $1.99–$2.99/month on a 48-month term, the AI website builder from $2.99/month, VPS from $4.99/month, and cloud hosting from $6.99/month. Intro prices apply to the first term; renewals are higher.

What is the difference between Hostinger Premium and Business?

Business roughly doubles the resources — 50 sites, NVMe storage, ~50K visits — and adds daily backups, free CDN, staging, and AI tools for about a dollar more per month at intro pricing. Most growing businesses should pick Business.

Do Hostinger prices go up after the first term?

Yes. Intro pricing applies to the first term only; Premium renews around $10.99/month and Business around $16.99/month. Buying the longest term you can afford locks the intro rate for years.

Which Hostinger plan is best for a small business website?

Premium covers a simple 5-page business site. Pick Business if you'll run WooCommerce, expect real traffic, or want daily backups and staging. Cloud and VPS are for high-traffic sites and developers.

What are Hostinger's AI automation apps?

A new product line: one plan that runs your choice of managed AI assistant — Hostinger Agent, OpenClaw, Hermes, or self-hosted n8n — deployed from the dashboard in about a minute, with the ability to switch apps anytime.

Our default: Business on the longest term.

Locks the intro rate for four years, includes the domain, email, daily backups, and room to grow — for less than a streaming subscription.
