Go to Hostinger’s website, find the hosting plan you want to purchase, and select Choose plan.

If you don’t know which hosting plan to choose yet, you must first identify your goals, needs, and budget. Here’s an overview of Hostinger’s top hosting types and what they’re best for:

You can buy our hosting for a 1-month, 12-month, 24-month, or 48-month period. Choosing the longer periods will save you more money in the long run.

You can change your billing cycle anytime through hPanel. If you decide to upgrade your plan, we will add the remaining subscription length to the new plan.
