Hostinger sells shared, cloud and VPS hosting, domains, business email and an AI website builder, with hosting plans from $2.99/month paid upfront for the whole term.
The number to watch is the renewal rate. Premium renews at $10.99/month on a 48-month plan, so a first-term discount tells you only part of what you'll pay.
Hostinger traces its roots to November 2004 in Kaunas, Lithuania, when a small team of young founders started a self-funded company called Hosting Media. It launched the free host 000webhost.com in 2007 and the cPanel brand Hosting24.com in 2008, and the Hostinger name arrived in 2011 together with hPanel, its own control panel. In-house cloud hosting followed in 2016 and the Hostinger Agent AI chatbot in 2023.
The company now describes itself as an agentic platform for building, running and growing a business online. Beyond hosting it offers Node.js hosting, hourly GPU rentals, self-hosted n8n, an AI app builder, Hostinger Reach email marketing and Agentic Mail, plus developer tools such as an API, a CLI, SDKs and a connector for MCP clients. It names LiteSpeed servers, NVMe storage and a global CDN as its infrastructure.

Hostinger lists its Black Friday sale from Oct 19 to Dec 14, 2026, and the main discounts in it apply automatically, so there's no code to find during that window.
Those prices cover the first term only, and the plan renews at its regular rate afterward.
Before paying, compare term lengths rather than banners.
The 75% off Premium deal sits on a 48-month plan, which is paid upfront for the whole term and renews at $10.99/month.
