If starting a blog, an online portfolio or a small business site has been on your list for a while, the cost of getting online is about as low as it gets this season. You can start a website with Hostinger for $2.24/month when you pick the 48-month plan, the early Black Friday sale takes up to 83% off, and a free domain is part of the package for year one.
This guide is for first-time site owners. It covers which plan to choose, how to go from checkout to a live site in an afternoon, and which costs show up later.
Most of what you pay for a website in its early years is hosting. Buying during a big sale on a long-term plan means the low rate covers four full years, which is usually enough time to find out whether your project takes off.
There is also no need to rush. Hostinger’s sale started on October 19 and is set to run until December 14, 2026, so you can plan your site properly before you buy.
All three web hosting plans are discounted on the 48-month term. Prices below are at the time of writing, including an extra coupon discount taken off at checkout:
As a Black Friday bonus, each plan also comes with double the usual AI credits, which you can spend on Hostinger’s AI website and content tools.
Start with what you are actually building. A single blog, a portfolio, or a simple site for a local service fits comfortably on Premium. It allows up to 3 websites, includes 20 GB of storage, and runs weekly backups.
Choose Unlimited if you have more than one idea in the pipeline, plan to sell online, or want extra safety. For less than a dollar more each month, it removes the website limit, upgrades you to daily backups, and includes unlimited mailboxes per site for the first year. Since it also has the deepest discount in the sale, it is the plan most new site owners grow into without needing to upgrade.
Cloud Startup is aimed at agencies and busy online stores. Unless you already expect serious traffic on day one, you can skip it for now.
Free SSL is included, so your site loads over HTTPS from the start, and there is nothing extra to configure for the padlock icon to appear.
Before you announce the site, give it a simple launch checklist. Add an About page that explains who you are, a contact page or form, and two or three pieces of real content, such as blog posts, project examples, or a services page. Then open the site on your phone, since most visitors will arrive on mobile, and fix anything that looks cramped or loads slowly.
A cheap first term is only half the story, so it is worth knowing the later costs upfront:
If the platform turns out not to suit you, Hostinger’s 30-day refund window applies to sale purchases as well.
Can I buy the Hostinger Black Friday deal now?
Yes, you can. Hostinger’s early sale is already open, with discounts reaching 83% on 4-year hosting terms.
Do I need technical skills to start?
No. The AI builder handles design and setup, and WordPress can be installed from the dashboard in a few clicks.
What is the cheapest Hostinger plan on sale?
