Hostinger AI Website Builder pricing: the $2.99 offer, renewal cost, and limits

Checked October 5, 2026 UTC: United States/English page, US dollars. Premium still shows $2.99/month for a prepaid 48-month term. The second advertised plan is now Unlimited at $3.99/month. The table gives the full initial payment and advertised renewal rate; taxes are additional.

This is a review of published prices and terms. Kingy has not performed a new build, checkout, support, uptime or renewal test.

The advertised price, unpacked

Plan Promotional rate Required term Upfront total Stated renewal rate
Premium Website Builder $2.99/month 48 months $143.52 $10.99/month
Unlimited $3.99/month 48 months $191.52 $16.99/month
Cloud Startup $7.99/month 48 months $383.52 $25.99/month

These are monthly equivalents, not monthly billing: the plans are paid upfront. The captured offer lists 48 months, with no extra free months shown. Pricing can change before renewal.

What the plans include

Premium lists three websites, two mailboxes per website free for one year, a domain free for one year and five one-time AI credits. Unlimited lists unlimited websites and mailboxes, with the same one-year mailbox/domain promotion, plus 15 one-time AI credits and ecommerce. Unlimited features are subject to fair usage.

Do not interpret the Unlimited name as an unlimited AI-credit allowance. The cards specify finite one-time credits. Check storage, domain renewal, mailbox charges and the tools you need before committing.

Who should consider it?

Premium may suit a small site with modest requirements. Compare the full four-year payment and renewal cost with shorter-term options; a low monthly equivalent alone does not make it the better purchase.

For a store, verify payment methods, product limits and any processing charges against your actual needs. Listed ecommerce and AI tools do not establish output quality, accessibility, search performance or support quality.

Checks to make before buying

  1. Confirm the total due today, not only the monthly equivalent.
  2. Record the renewal price and renewal date.
  3. Check whether tax and currency conversion change the total.
  4. Verify the plan limit for websites, storage, mailboxes, products and AI usage.
  5. Use the advertised 14-day builder trial to evaluate editing before buying; publishing requires a paid plan. Check refund eligibility separately.

Trial, renewal and refunds

Hostinger’s terms make renewal automatic unless disabled and allow charges before the term ends. Its standard refund period is 30 days from the transaction, with exclusions: the policy excludes the first hosting payment after a free trial and AI Builder credits. Free-domain deals can also reduce a hosting refund by the domain’s price. A trial is not the same as a universal refund promise.
