Hostinger Renewal Price in India (2026): What You'll Actually Pay After Year One
You bought Hostinger at ₹139/mo and the renewal email says ₹449/mo. That jump is real — and it is the single most-asked question I get about Hostinger. This page lays out every renewal rate, the exact 4-year cost math, and the five legit ways to keep paying the low price — the same tactics I use for my own client sites.
Disclosure: some links use my referral code — you get an extra discount, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Prices checked August 9, 2026. Hostinger rotates sales, so always verify the renewal column on the live checkout page.
The 30-second answer
- 💰 Premium renews at ~₹449/mo, Business at ~₹649/mo, Cloud Startup at ~₹1,599/mo.
- 📅 Renewal price hits only after your locked term ends — a 48-month purchase doesn't renew until 2030.
- 🛡️ The defence: buy the longest term at the sale price. ₹139 × 48 months beats ₹139 × 12 + ₹449 × 36 by roughly ₹9,500.
- 🔔 Auto-renewal is ON by default — decide now whether you want it (hPanel → Billing → Subscriptions).
Hostinger renewal price table (India, checked August 2026)
These are the numbers that matter — the intro price you see advertised versus the price your plan renews at once the term ends:
| Plan | Intro price (48-mo sale) | Renewal price | Jump | Renewal per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium (shared) | ₹139/mo | ₹449/mo | +223% | ₹5,388 |
| Business (shared) | ₹199/mo | ₹649/mo | +226% | ₹7,788 |
| Cloud Startup | ₹599/mo | ₹1,599/mo | +167% | ₹19,188 |
| KVM VPS (all tiers) | from ~₹499/mo | verify at checkout | — | — |
KVM VPS renewal rates vary by tier and current promotion — Hostinger shows the exact renewal amount on the checkout page before you pay. Always read that line.
The 4-year math: 48-month term vs renewing yearly
Here is the comparison Hostinger's pricing page never spells out — the same 4 years of Premium hosting bought two different ways:
✅ Buy 48 months upfront
- ₹139/mo × 48 months = ₹6,672 total
- Price locked till mid-2030
- Free domain year 1 (~₹799 value)
- Renewal rates can't touch you for 4 years
❌ Buy 12 months, renew 3 times
- Year 1: ₹149/mo intro × 12 = ~₹1,788
- Years 2–4: ₹449/mo × 36 = ₹16,164
- 4-year total: ~₹17,952
- You pay ~₹11,000 more for the same hosting
The 12-month intro rate is slightly higher than the 48-month rate too — so the gap in practice is even wider than the ads suggest. If you can afford the upfront payment, the long term is not a marketing trick; it genuinely is the cheapest way to run a site for 4 years. Full plan-by-plan breakdown in my Hostinger plans & pricing guide.
Domain renewal prices (the second surprise)
The free domain that comes with Premium and above is free for year one only. From year two the domain renews at its standard rate, billed separately from hosting:
| Extension | First year | Renewal |
|---|---|---|
| .com | ₹149–₹749 (first year / free with hosting) | ~₹1,199/year |
| .in | ₹99–₹299 (first year / free with hosting) | ~₹699/year |
| .online / .store | ₹99–₹199 (heavily discounted year 1) | ~₹2,000–₹3,500/year — check before buying |
Watch out for trendy extensions like .online and .store — the ₹99 first year feels free, but renewals can run ₹2,000+. Extension-by-extension numbers are in my Hostinger domain price guide.
5 legit ways to avoid (or soften) the renewal jump
- 1
Lock 48 months on day one
The deepest discount plus 4 years of immunity from renewal rates. This is the single highest-impact decision — everything else is a smaller optimisation.
- 2
Stack the referral discount before you buy
A referral link adds ~20% off on top of the public sale, which lowers the locked-in price for the entire term. Steps in my 90% OFF walkthrough below.
- 3
Set a calendar reminder 30 days before expiry
Renewal notices are easy to miss. A month out, you have time to compare current sales, switch terms, or move hosts calmly instead of panic-renewing.
- 4
Re-buy a fresh term during a big sale
Near expiry, compare your renewal quote against the current new-customer sale (Diwali/New Year sales are the deepest). Sometimes buying a fresh long term — or moving the site to a new plan — beats auto-renewing at full rate.
- 5
Right-size at renewal time
Renewal is the natural moment to downgrade (traffic lower than expected → Premium) or upgrade (store growing → Business/Cloud). Don't renew the wrong plan out of inertia.
Is the renewal price still competitive? (vs GoDaddy & Bluehost)
Renewal shock is an industry-wide pattern, not a Hostinger-only trick. GoDaddy's economy shared plans in India typically start higher (~₹199–₹299/mo intro) and their renewals climb steeply too — with backups and some SSL features sold as paid add-ons on top. Bluehost's India pricing follows the same intro-then-jump curve. Hostinger renewed at ₹449/mo still includes free SSL, weekly backups and hPanel.
So the honest framing is: every budget host has a renewal jump — the winner is the one whose renewed price still beats competitors' renewed prices. My full three-way comparison with category scores: Hostinger vs GoDaddy vs Bluehost (2026).
Beat the renewal price: lock 4 years at the sale rate
The referral link applies an extra ~20% discount automatically on top of the current sale — which becomes your locked price for the whole term. 30-day money-back if it disappoints.
FAQ — Hostinger renewal pricing
How much does Hostinger Premium cost after renewal in India?+
Premium renews around ₹449/mo (roughly ₹5,388/year) once your intro term ends. The intro sale price (₹139/mo on the 48-month term) applies only to your first purchase — which is exactly why buying the longest term upfront saves the most money.
Why is Hostinger's renewal price higher than the price I paid?+
The first-term price is a heavily discounted promotional rate — this is standard across the entire hosting industry (GoDaddy, Bluehost and SiteGround do the same). The renewal rate is the plan's regular price. Hostinger shows the renewal rate on the checkout page, but most buyers never scroll to it.
Can I avoid Hostinger renewal charges completely?+
You cannot avoid renewal pricing forever, but you can delay it 4 years by buying a 48-month term at the sale price, and then repurchase a fresh long term (sometimes on a new account or during a big sale) instead of auto-renewing. Also compare: even at full renewal price, Hostinger is usually cheaper than GoDaddy's renewed rates.
Does Hostinger renew automatically? Can I turn it off?+
Yes, auto-renewal is on by default and charges your saved payment method before expiry. You can disable it any time from hPanel → Billing → Subscriptions. Turn it off if you want to decide manually — just set a reminder so your site doesn't go down when the term ends.
What is the Hostinger domain renewal price in India?+
Domains renew separately from hosting: a .com renews around ₹1,199/year and a .in around ₹699/year. The free domain you get with hosting is free only for the first year — after that the standard renewal applies. Full breakdown in my Hostinger domain price guide.
Is Hostinger still worth it at renewal price?+
For most sites, yes — Premium at ₹449/mo renewed is still competitive against GoDaddy and Bluehost renewal rates in India, and you keep NVMe/LiteSpeed performance and hPanel. But if your bill matters, the smarter move is locking 48 months at the sale price so you don't pay renewal rates until 2030.
