Hostinger review
Cheapest credible shared hosting, if you commit long-term · Founded 2004 · Lithuania
Our verdict
The best value on this list if you pay for 24-48 months upfront. Performance is solid for a shared host and there is an India datacenter. The catch is the renewal: roughly 3x the intro price.
$252 over three years one term at the intro rate, then two renewals
- Refund window 30 days
- Uptime SLA 99.9%
- Readers rate it No reviews yet
What we liked
- Genuinely cheap on long terms
- India (Mumbai) datacenter available
- hPanel is easier than cPanel for beginners
- Free migration and SSL included
What we did not
- Renewal is about 3x the intro rate (publishers quote $8.99-$16.99)
- Backups are daily only on higher tiers
- No phone support
- Upsells during checkout are aggressive
What it actually costs
checked 27 Jul 2026The advertised price applies to your first term only. Here is the same plan over three years.
For comparison, the cheapest renewal we track is MilesWeb at $2.28/mo — about $80.52 a year less than Hostinger once the intro term ends. Whether that matters depends on what you get for the difference; read both.

Who it is for
Someone launching their first site or two who can pay 24-48 months up front and wants an India-region datacenter without paying managed-hosting rates.
The pricing catch
The headline rate applies to the longest term only. Renewal is roughly three times the intro rate, and publishers quote figures between $8.99 and $16.99 for the same Premium plan — so treat the number on this page as indicative and read your own checkout total before committing.
What we could not assess
We have not benchmarked Hostinger’s Mumbai region ourselves. Public reports are broadly positive for a shared host, which is what the performance sub-score reflects.
