The short answer
Short answer, prices read on 27 October 2026: a small business running one WordPress site on Hostinger‘s Premium plan pays $119.52 upfront for 48 months, $29.88 a year, with the AI Builder included. Add a .com and two mailboxes once their free first year ends and the 4-year bill is $221.97, $55.49 a year. The catch is the renewal: Premium renews at $10.99 a month for the same term, so the next 4 years cost $527.52, or $131.88 a year for hosting. Starting on a 12-month plan instead costs $545.97 over the same 4 years, $324 more. Three sites on one Premium plan bring hosting to $9.96 a site a year.

Our pick means we earn a commission if you buy through our link. Hostinger is our pick on this page because its Premium 48-month plan is the lowest 4-year bill we priced for one WordPress site, $119.52 for hosting. That does not change any score: Hostinger scores 1.9 on our published rubric and Durable 2.1. This site itself runs on Hostinger. See Hostinger WordPress plans.
What every Hostinger WordPress plan costs, by term
Hostinger prices WordPress hosting by plan and by how long you prepay. Its page states the rule plainly: “All plans are paid upfront.” The monthly rate is the total divided by the months. On 27 October 2026 each card also read “Renews at” a monthly rate “for the same term”, and a Black Friday banner offered double AI credits on 48-month plans.
| Plan | 1 month | 12 months | 24 months | 48 months | Renews at |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hostinger Premium Our pick | $12.19 a month | $3.99 ($47.88) | $3.49 ($83.76) | $2.49 ($119.52) | $10.99 a month |
| Hostinger Unlimited Our pick | $18.99 a month | $4.99 ($59.88) | $4.49 ($107.76) | $3.49 ($167.52) | $16.99 a month |
| Hostinger Ecommerce Startup Our pick | $27.99 a month | $9.99 ($119.88) | $8.99 ($215.76) | $7.99 ($383.52) | $25.99 a month |
| What you get | Premium | Unlimited |
|---|---|---|
| Websites | 3 | Unlimited |
| Storage | 20 GB SSD | 50 GB NVMe |
| Backups | weekly | daily |
| Mailboxes | 2 a website, free for 1 year | Unlimited, free for 1 year |
| AI Builder credits, one time | 250, or 500 on 48 months | 500, or 1,000 on 48 months |
| CPU cores, RAM | 1, 2 GB | 2, 3 GB |
| PHP workers, databases | 40, 10 | 60, 150 |
| Free domain | 1 year, on 12 months or longer | 1 year, on 12 months or longer |
The renewal is the real price
The $10.99 renewal is 4.4 times the 48-month Premium rate of $2.49. Because the renewal runs for the same term, a business that bought 48 months in October 2026 faces a $527.52 charge for the next 48 in October 2030, unless it switches term or host. From year 5 the all-in cost of one site is $131.88 for hosting, $19.99 for the .com and $14.16 for two mailboxes: $166.03 a year, about three times the $55.49 it averaged over the first 4.
The “80% off” badge on that card is measured against the month-to-month price, $12.19, not against the $10.99 renewal. The 12-month plan shows the gap faster: $47.88 in year 1, then $131.88 a year. Over 4 years that is $443.52 for hosting against $119.52 on the 48-month plan, which is why the longer prepay wins on every 4-year comparison in this article, provided the business still wants the site in year 4.
What the AI site tools cost, and what is not included
Every plan on the page builds with WordPress and lists Hostinger’s AI tools. What a small business pays for, and what it gets:
- AI Builder credits are one time. Hostinger says the credits are “a one-time gift” that does not renew monthly: 250 on Premium, 500 with the 48-month plan, and 500 or 1,000 on Unlimited. It sells top-ups; their price is not on the page.
- AI email marketing is listed on Premium, and Unlimited adds it free for 1 year up to 100 subscribers.
- AI SEO ready: the page says the site gets an auto-generated llms.txt for AI search tools.
- Hostinger Agent, the chat agent that edits a WordPress site for you, is described as included in “WordPress Business and Cloud Hosting”. No card on the page we read is named Business, so we do not count the agent as part of Premium or Unlimited.
The other way to get a site from a prompt is an AI website builder. Durable is one: its Launch plan is $25 a month, or $22 a month billed yearly, with hosting, 1,000 AI credits a month and a free domain worth up to $20. That is $264 a year and $1,056 over 4 years, against $221.97 for Hostinger Premium with a domain and mailboxes. Durable refills its AI credits every month; Hostinger’s do not refill. Durable is its own site builder, not WordPress.
More than one site
Premium hosts 3 websites and Unlimited has no site limit, so the hosting cost per site falls with each site you add. On 48-month plans, 3 sites on Premium cost $9.96 a site a year, 5 sites on Unlimited $8.38, and 10 on Unlimited $4.19. Only one domain is free, for one year; each other .com costs $19.99 a year at Hostinger’s rate. At renewal Unlimited costs $16.99 a month, $203.88 a year, or $40.78 a site for 5 sites.

How we checked
We read Hostinger’s WordPress hosting page in a rendered browser on 24 October and again on 27 October 2026, selecting each billing term (1, 12, 24 and 48 months) and opening the Compare plans table. Prices did not change between the two reads; the renewal line gained the words “for the same term” on 27 October 2026. The .com price is from Hostinger’s domain search page, and Durable’s from its pricing page in monthly and yearly states, both read the same days. The 4-year totals, renewals and per-site figures are our arithmetic. We did not benchmark site speed or uptime, and we did not test the AI Builder for this page. WordPress.com was not priced: its pricing page returned a human check to our browser. For the cost of adding an AI assistant to the site, see What an AI chatbot for your website costs.
