Hostinger Black Friday 2026 runs from 19 October to 14 December 2026. That is Hostinger's own published window, and it matters more than it sounds, because every other page telling you the Black Friday deal is live today is wrong. I checked on 22 September 2026 and the sale has not started.
There is still a discount running. Premium is $2.99/mo against a $11.99 list price, and Unlimited is $3.99/mo against $18.99. Both are real, both are charged as a single upfront payment for four years, and both renew at roughly four times what you paid. That renewal number is the thing this page exists to show you, because it is the one number every other Hostinger deal post leaves out.
I also found that Hostinger's own coupons page is currently cheaper than its Black Friday page. Same plans, same renewals, lower entry price. Details and a screenshot below.

Hostinger Black Friday 2026 prices at a glance
These are the prices on Hostinger's Black Friday landing page today, on the 48 month term, which is the term every headline discount is quoted against. I have put the renewal in the same table rather than in a footnote, because it is the number that decides whether this is a good deal or an expensive one.
| Plan | List price | Now | Discount | Paid upfront | Renews at |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | $11.99/mo | $2.99/mo | 75% | $143.52 for 48 months | $10.99/mo |
| Unlimited | $18.99/mo | $3.99/mo | 79% | $191.52 for 48 months | $16.99/mo |
| Cloud Startup | $27.99/mo | $7.99/mo | 71% | $383.52 for 48 months | $25.99/mo |
Note what the discount is calculated against. The 75% on Premium is 75% off $575.52, which is the list price multiplied by 48 months. Nobody has ever paid $575.52 for four years of Premium. The discount is real, the baseline it is measured against is a list price that exists mainly to be discounted from. That is why you see competitors quoting 85% and 90% off Hostinger: stretch the term, inflate the baseline, and the percentage goes wherever you want it.
When does the Hostinger Black Friday sale start and end?
The Hostinger Black Friday sale runs from 19 October to 14 December 2026. That comes from the FAQ on Hostinger's own Black Friday page, not from a press release or an affiliate's guess.
Two things follow from that. First, the window is nearly two months long, so the urgency countdown timers you will see on other Hostinger deal pages are decoration. Second, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are inside the same window at Hostinger, which answers a question people ask constantly.
| Question | The actual answer |
|---|---|
| Is it cheaper on Black Friday or Cyber Monday? | Neither. Hostinger runs one continuous window covering both, so the hosting price does not drop on Cyber Monday specifically. Domain deals are the exception, Hostinger schedules those as a separate later window. |
| Does the price drop further later in the window? | It has in past years. In 2025 Hostinger publicly raised its maximum discount mid-window, which is why you will still find pages quoting 85%. |
| Do I have to buy on Black Friday itself? | No. The price is the same across the whole window. |
| Do existing customers get the deal? | Hostinger says existing customers get separate upgrade and cross-sell offers rather than the new-customer price. |
The Hostinger renewal price is the real price
Hostinger's cheapest plan works out at $2.99/mo for four years and $10.99/mo after that. It is a 3.7x jump, and it is the single most asked question about this host. Two of the pages that outrank every affiliate article for this keyword are Reddit threads about the renewal price, which tells you how badly the question is being answered elsewhere.
Here is what each plan costs you across the first eight years, assuming you buy the 48 month term now and then renew once at the published renewal rate.
| Plan | First 48 months | Next 48 months at renewal | 8 year total | True average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | $143.52 | $527.52 | $671.04 | $6.99/mo |
| Unlimited | $191.52 | $815.52 | $1,007.04 | $10.49/mo |
| Cloud Startup | $383.52 | $1,247.52 | $1,631.04 | $16.99/mo |
None of that makes Hostinger a bad buy. $6.99/mo averaged over eight years is still cheap hosting. It does mean the honest way to describe this deal is four years of hosting for $143.52, not hosting for $2.99 a month. If your plan is to move hosts inside four years anyway, the introductory price is the only number that matters and the deal is excellent. If you intend to stay, budget for the renewal now.
The one thing I would do before buying
Set a calendar reminder for one month before your term expires. Hostinger renews automatically at the higher rate, and the 30 day money back guarantee covers your initial purchase, not a renewal you forgot about. This applies to every host that sells long prepaid terms, not just this one.
Premium looks cheaper than Unlimited, but it is missing five things
This is the part that a copy and paste of Hostinger's pricing page gets wrong, and I nearly got wrong too. Pull the text off the Premium column and you get a list that reads Ecommerce available, CDN, AI tools, Priority 24/7 expert support. Look at the rendered page and those last three are greyed out with a dash, which means they are not included.
Here is what the $1.00 a month between Premium and Unlimited actually buys.
| Feature | Premium ($2.99) | Unlimited ($3.99) |
|---|---|---|
| Websites | 3 | Unlimited |
| Storage | 20 GB SSD | 50 GB NVMe |
| Backups | Weekly | Daily, with easy restore |
| CDN | Not included | Included |
| AI tools | Not included | Included |
| Priority 24/7 support | Not included | Included |
| Node.js | Not included | Included |
| Mailboxes | 2 per site, free 1 year | Unlimited, free 1 year |
| AI email marketing | Not included | Free for 1 year |
| AI Builder credits | 5 | 15 |
| Renews at | $10.99/mo | $16.99/mo |
Weekly versus daily backups is the line I would not compromise on. A weekly backup means a bad plugin update on a Thursday can cost you six days of work. For a dollar a month, buy Unlimited. The gap at renewal is wider, $6 a month, so if you are optimising for the long run the calculation changes, but at that point you should be comparing hosts rather than plans.
Do you need a Hostinger coupon code?
Hostinger's official answer is no. Its Black Friday FAQ says the discount is applied automatically and no code is needed. Every page offering you an exclusive Hostinger coupon is, almost always, just an affiliate link with a tracking parameter on it.
There is one genuine exception, and I only found it by checking. Hostinger runs a coupons page that auto-applies a code called COUPONSPAGE, and today it is cheaper than the Black Friday landing page on all three plans.
| Plan | Black Friday page | Coupons page | You save | Renewal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | $2.99/mo, $143.52 | $2.84/mo, $136.32 | $7.20 | $10.99/mo either way |
| Unlimited | $3.99/mo, $191.52 | $3.79/mo, $181.92 | $9.60 | $16.99/mo either way |
| Cloud Startup | $7.99/mo, $383.52 | $7.59/mo, $364.32 | $19.20 | $25.99/mo either way |
It is not a large saving and it may well disappear once the Black Friday window actually opens on 19 October. Check both pages before you pay. It costs you thirty seconds and this is the kind of thing that changes without announcement.
Hostinger Black Friday prices in India are a different list
If you are buying from India, the prices above are not the ones you will see. Hostinger serves a separate Indian price list, and it is not a currency conversion of the dollar page. It has a fourth plan that the US page does not show at all.
| Plan | List price | Now | Discount | Paid upfront | Renews at |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single | Rs 399/mo | Rs 69/mo | 83% | Rs 3,312 for 48 months | Rs 289/mo |
| Premium | Rs 599/mo | Rs 149/mo | 75% | Rs 7,152 for 48 months | Rs 449/mo |
| Unlimited | Rs 699/mo | Rs 249/mo | 64% | Rs 11,952 for 48 months | Rs 649/mo |
| Cloud Startup | Rs 1,699/mo | Rs 599/mo | 65% | Rs 28,752 for 48 months | Rs 1,599/mo |
- Single at Rs 69/mo is the cheapest real entry point Hostinger sells anywhere. One website, 10 GB SSD, weekly backups.
- Single has no free domain and no free mailbox. Both are greyed out. Budget roughly Rs 700 to Rs 1,200 a year for a .com elsewhere.
- Indian Premium is cheaper than US Premium. Rs 149/mo is about $1.69 against $2.99 on the dollar page for the identical plan.
- The renewal multiple is worse in India. Premium goes Rs 149 to Rs 449, a 3x jump, and Cloud Startup goes Rs 599 to Rs 1,599.
One practical note: Hostinger's pricing follows the country version of the site you land on, so if you want the Indian list, start from the Indian page. My link geo redirects, so it should take you to the right one automatically.
Hostinger VPS Black Friday deal
Hostinger's KVM VPS range gets its own discount, and the renewal gap here is sharper than on shared hosting. KVM 4 in particular more than doubles.
| Plan | vCPU / RAM | Storage | List | Now | Renews at |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KVM 1 | 1 core / 4 GB | 50 GB NVMe | $19.49 | $6.49/mo | $11.99/mo |
| KVM 2 | 2 cores / 8 GB | 100 GB NVMe | $24.49 | $8.99/mo | $14.99/mo |
| KVM 4 | 4 cores / 16 GB | 200 GB NVMe | $42.99 | $12.99/mo | $28.99/mo |
| KVM 8 | 8 cores / 32 GB | 400 GB NVMe | $73.99 | $25.99/mo | $49.99/mo |
Every tier includes AMD EPYC processors, NVMe storage, free weekly backups, a 1 Gbps network, firewall management, a public API and a free domain for a year. If you are buying a VPS you are expected to manage it yourself, which is a real cost that no price table shows. Do not buy a VPS to save $4 a month over shared hosting.
What is the downside of Hostinger?
This gets asked often enough that Google surfaces it as a related question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a paragraph of praise with one token negative at the end.
- The renewal multiple. 3.5x to 4x on shared hosting, more than 2x on KVM 4. You are buying four cheap years, not cheap hosting.
- Everything is prepaid. There is no meaningful monthly option at these prices. The advertised rate only exists at 48 months, so the real decision is whether to hand over $143.52 today.
- Premium is thinner than it looks. No CDN, no priority support, weekly backups only. The cheapest advertised plan is the one most people should skip.
- Unlimited is not unlimited. It is governed by a Fair Usage Policy, which is normal in this market but worth reading before you plan around it.
- Prices are quoted without VAT. Your checkout total will be higher than the table if you are in a VAT jurisdiction.
- It is shared hosting. For a busy WooCommerce store or anything with real concurrency you will outgrow it, and the upgrade path inside Hostinger costs more than the headline suggests.
For balance: Hostinger holds an Excellent Trustpilot rating across 72,424 reviews and is one of the four hosts recommended on WordPress.org. At this price point the value is genuinely hard to argue with. The criticism above is about how the price is presented, not about whether the hosting works.
What I would actually buy
If you are starting a first site
Unlimited, on the coupons page price. Daily backups and a CDN for a dollar a month more than Premium is not a close call, and the free domain covers your first year. In India, Single at Rs 69 is defensible for one small site if you already own a domain, but check the missing mailbox before you commit.
If you are moving an existing WordPress site
Unlimited or Cloud Startup, and test before you cancel your old host. Migration is free and unlimited on all plans. Run your own before and after measurement rather than trusting either host's marketing, which is exactly what I do and document here.
If you run a store or anything with real traffic
Look past shared hosting entirely. I have tested this tier against managed hosts from multiple locations and the difference under concurrency is not subtle. See WP Engine vs Rocket.net vs Cloudways for the numbers.
How these prices were checked
Every figure on this page came off Hostinger's own pages on 22 September 2026, read from the rendered page rather than a text copy. That distinction is not pedantry. The Premium feature list is the exact case where a text copy reports four features that the rendered page shows as excluded, and if I had trusted the text I would have told you Premium includes a CDN. It does not.
I cross-checked every monthly figure against the upfront total. $143.52 divided by 48 is $2.99, and $575.52 divided by 48 is $11.99, so the discount and the baseline are internally consistent. Where a number here disagrees with what you see at checkout, trust the checkout and tell me so I can correct this page. The full method is on the How I Test page.
Hostinger Black Friday FAQ
When does the Hostinger Black Friday sale start and end in 2026?
Hostinger's published Black Friday window is 19 October to 14 December 2026. Cyber Monday falls inside that same window for hosting, so there is no separate Cyber Monday hosting price. Domain deals run on a separate later schedule.
What are the Hostinger Black Friday offers?
On the 48 month term, Premium is $2.99/mo against a $11.99 list price, Unlimited is $3.99/mo against $18.99, and Cloud Startup is $7.99/mo against $27.99. All three are charged as a single upfront payment covering four years.
How much does it cost to renew a Hostinger plan?
Premium renews at $10.99/mo, Unlimited at $16.99/mo and Cloud Startup at $25.99/mo. Renewal is roughly 3.5x to 4x the introductory rate, which is the biggest single thing to understand before buying.
Is Hostinger cheaper on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
Neither, for hosting. Hostinger runs one continuous window covering both dates at the same price, so there is no advantage to waiting for the Monday.
Do I need a Hostinger coupon code?
No. Hostinger states that Black Friday discounts apply automatically. However, its own coupons page auto-applies a code called COUPONSPAGE which on 22 September 2026 was cheaper than the Black Friday page, at $2.84/mo on Premium. Check both.
Why does Hostinger always advertise 80% or 90% off?
Because the percentage is measured against a 48 month list price that almost nobody pays. 75% off Premium means 75% off $575.52. Stretch the term and the percentage grows without the actual price changing much.
How much does Hostinger cost in India?
India has its own price list with four plans. Single is Rs 69/mo, Premium Rs 149/mo, Unlimited Rs 249/mo and Cloud Startup Rs 599/mo, all on the 48 month term. Indian Premium works out cheaper than the dollar price for the same plan.
Which Hostinger plan should I buy?
Unlimited for most people. It costs one dollar a month more than Premium and adds daily backups, a CDN, AI tools, priority support and Node.js, all of which Premium excludes.
Does Hostinger include a free domain?
Premium, Unlimited and Cloud Startup include a domain free for the first year. The Indian Single plan does not include one.
Does Hostinger have a money back guarantee?
Yes, 30 days on eligible plans. It covers your initial purchase rather than an automatic renewal, so set a reminder before your term ends.
Is Hostinger good for WordPress?
It is one of the hosts listed on WordPress.org's own hosting page and it holds an Excellent Trustpilot rating across 72,424 reviews. For a personal site, a blog or a small business site it is genuinely good value. For a busy store you will outgrow it.
What is the downside of Hostinger?
The renewal multiple, the fact that everything is prepaid for four years, and a Premium plan that excludes the CDN, priority support and daily backups most people assume are included.
Is the Hostinger Black Friday deal live right now?
Not yet. On 22 September 2026 the sale had not started. A standing promotion is running at similar prices, and the Black Friday window opens on 19 October 2026.
