But introductory prices are only half the story. This guide breaks down every Hostinger pricing plan across all hosting types: Shared Hosting, WordPress Hosting, WooCommerce Hosting, Cloud Hosting, VPS Hosting, Email Hosting, Website Builder, and Game Server Hosting, including renewal rates, what each plan includes, and which plan you should actually buy based on your site’s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hostinger Shared Hosting Pricing Plans<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shared web hosting<\/a> is where the majority of Hostinger users start. Your website lives on a server alongside hundreds of other accounts, sharing CPU, RAM, and I\/O bandwidth. It’s affordable, managed, and well-suited for blogs, portfolios, and small business websites receiving up to 50,000 monthly visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hostinger<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hostinger’s shared hosting lineup has three core tiers: Premium<\/strong>, Business<\/strong>, and Cloud Startup<\/strong>. Each one is available under several marketing labels: Shared Hosting, WordPress Hosting, WooCommerce Hosting, but the underlying infrastructure and pricing are identical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Plan: $2.99\/month (48-month term)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Premium shared hosting plan<\/strong> is Hostinger’s entry-level offering and the most popular starting point for individual bloggers, freelancers, and small business sites. At $2.99\/month on a 48-month commitment (or $3.99\/month annually), it’s hard to beat for pure affordability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key inclusions: <\/strong>100 websites, 100 GB SSD storage, unlimited free SSL certificates<\/a>, weekly automatic backups, free domain for one year, and access to Hostinger’s AI website builder (Horizons). The plan handles approximately 25,000 monthly visitors comfortably, making it suitable for blogs and brochure-style business sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The critical limitation:<\/strong> renewal jumps to $11.99\/month, a 452% increase from the promotional rate. That’s the real cost of hosting after your first term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Plan: $3.99\/month (48-month term)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Business plan<\/strong> is Hostinger’s sweet spot. For just $1\/month more than Premium, you unlock NVMe storage<\/strong> (faster than standard SSD), daily automated backups instead of weekly, a free Cloudflare CDN integration, enhanced DDoS protection, and up to 60 PHP workers instead of 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The doubling of PHP workers is significant, it means your WordPress site or WooCommerce store can handle twice as many simultaneous database queries without throttling. For business sites running plugins like Elementor, WooCommerce, WPML, or Rank Math with large post counts, this headroom matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renewal rate: <\/strong>$18.99\/month. Annual cost on the 48-month plan: approximately $143.52 total upfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloud Startup Plan: $7.99\/month (48-month term)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite the “Cloud” label, the Cloud Startup plan<\/strong> shares the same managed infrastructure as shared hosting, but with dedicated CPU and RAM resources<\/strong> rather than shared pools. This is the key difference: your 4 GB RAM and 4 vCPUs aren’t contended with other accounts on the same server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also get a dedicated IP address, important for email deliverability and some SSL configurations, plus priority customer support with response times under 2 minutes via live chat. The PHP worker limit rises to 100, supporting approximately 200,000 monthly visits without performance degradation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloud Startup is the right upgrade when you’re hitting database connection errors during traffic spikes, running WooCommerce with WPML, or need a dedicated IP for transactional email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hostinger WordPress Hosting Pricing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hostinger’s best managed WordPress hosting<\/strong><\/a> uses identical pricing and infrastructure to shared hosting, the Premium, Business, and Cloud Startup plans appear at the same price points. The difference is WordPress-specific optimization layered on top: pre-installed LiteSpeed caching, automatic WordPress core and plugin updates, a WordPress staging environment (Business plan and above), and WordPress-specific security hardening via ModSecurity rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re building a WordPress site, choose WordPress Hosting over standard Shared Hosting, you get the same price with WordPress-native tooling already configured.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan<\/strong><\/th>Price (48-month)<\/strong><\/th>Renewal<\/strong><\/th>WordPress-Specific Features<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Starter<\/td>$0.72 per month<\/td>$4.14 per month<\/td>1 WordPress site, 50 GB storage, LiteSpeed cache<\/td><\/tr>

The WordPress Starter plan at $0.72 per month<\/strong> is actually cheaper than the standard shared Premium plan and makes sense if you need only one WordPress site. Hostinger also provides one-click WordPress installation through hPanel, their proprietary control panel, and the Kodee AI assistant can automate tasks like site migrations, plugin updates, and performance health checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hostinger WooCommerce Hosting Pricing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hostinger’s WooCommerce hosting<\/strong> is marketed separately but uses the same Premium, Business, and Cloud Startup plans at identical prices. The WooCommerce-specific additions include pre-installed WooCommerce, an integrated payment gateway setup, inventory management tooling, and product import support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hostinger<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hostinger officially recommends the Business plan or Cloud Startup<\/strong> for WooCommerce stores, particularly those running product catalogs beyond 500 SKUs, using WooCommerce extensions like Subscriptions or Bookings, or running paid ad campaigns that cause traffic spikes. The Business plan’s daily backups are especially important for e-commerce sites where order data loss is unacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For high-volume WooCommerce stores<\/a> (20,000+ monthly orders), Cloud Startup’s dedicated resources and 100 PHP workers prevent the “Error Establishing Database Connection” issue that plagues shared hosting during peak traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hostinger’s cloud hosting lineup extends beyond Cloud Startup into Cloud Professional<\/strong> and Cloud Enterprise<\/strong> tiers, designed for high-traffic websites, SaaS applications, and agencies managing multiple client sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloud Professional’s 60+ concurrent entry processes make a meaningful difference when you’re running complex WordPress multisite installations, heavy Elementor pages, or WooCommerce with multiple currencies. Cloud Enterprise, at $29.99\/month promotional, targets agencies and media publishers handling 500,000+ monthly page views where dedicated server resources are non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All cloud plans include a dedicated IP address, Cloudflare CDN integration, daily backups, priority support, Node.js application hosting, and free automatic site migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hostinger VPS Hosting Pricing \u2014 KVM Plans Explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hostinger’s VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting<\/strong> uses KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) virtualization with AMD EPYC processors and NVMe SSD storage. Unlike shared or cloud hosting, VPS gives you root access, a dedicated IPv4 address, full OS-level control, and guaranteed compute resources, no sharing with neighboring accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hostinger<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

VPS plans are available on 12-month and 24-month terms only (no 48-month option). Renewal rates are significantly more reasonable than shared hosting, approximately 100% increase versus 290 to 450% on shared plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KVM 1: $6.49\/month (Entry-Level VPS)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The KVM 1 plan<\/strong> provides 1 vCPU core, 4 GB RAM, and 50 GB NVMe storage, Hostinger’s entry point into true VPS territory. It’s designed for developers spinning up test environments, small web applications, personal projects requiring root access, or single WordPress sites that have outgrown shared hosting limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to DigitalOcean’s $6\/month Droplet (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM), KVM 1 offers 4x the RAM at a lower price point. Renewal at $19.49\/month is a predictable, moderate jump, unlike shared hosting’s renewal shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
