I bought a .tech domain at a cheap price but the renewal price is now going through the roof. I registered from my home country, INDIA. It is costing me approx 4,000₹(50$) to renew my domain.

Guys, if you have kindly share in inbox,
-- renewing my domain,

Hey! Hostinger’s pricing can seem like a steal at first glance, but knowing the full picture helps users choose wisely. Plans start low – think $2.99/mo for Premium Shared Hosting on a 48-month term – but renewal rates shift things up. After the initial term, that same plan jumps to $7.99/mo. Not a bad deal compared to the industry standard, though!

Longer commitments (like 4 years) keep the savings rolling, while monthly billing offers flexibility – at a cost. For example, one month of Premium WordPress Hosting at $11.99 comes with a $4.99 setup fee. No surprises there, just a trade-off to consider.

What about extras? Domains are free for the first year, then renewed at $16.99/yr for .com. Add-ons like extra email hosting (from $0.59/mo per mailbox) are optional and clearly listed at checkout – no hidden fees, just choices to tailor the plan.

Hostinger keeps it affordable and transparent for budget-savvy users. Planning ahead is key to maximizing value. Any pro tips from the sub for keeping costs in check long-term?

Hosting seems to be a hive of scum and villainy, where every company engages in scammy tactics like offering you a super low annual rate when you sign up, but once your initial year (or three) is up, you cannot get that same discounted rate again.

If there's no one out there that isn't a villain, then who offers the most affordable renewal rate? This is for a very simple personal HTML web site on my own domain. My current provider wants $60 to renew for one year, I'd love to be able to pay less.

ETA: Budget: $5 per month or less. Location: USA. Site: simple static HTML. Traffic: negligible.

Hi, I just started using Hostinger services, especially purchasing domain and web hosting with their Premium web hosting plan. I read a lot of complaing on their renewal prices are very huge compared to initial purchase, i have histed almost 4 websites currently. And charged them very low amount. Will this make headache for me when renew the plan?

Hi,

I currently host my website with another provider, and I would love to reduce my cost, because I want a second website.

The discount offered for Black Friday is very interesting, but the renewal price isn't really that great. As a Canadian, after conversion, the renewal is priced higher than what I currently pay for my current hosting.

So for 4 years I would pay less than what I currently pay, and then after that I would pay higher price.

What should I do?

Thank you.

When I first purchased my Premium Webhosting, the renewal price was €5.99. Four years later, the renewal price is now €9.99. Which rate applies when extending an active plan —the one in effect when I signed the contract or the current renewal price?

Update 08-15-25: It's 9.99, opposed to what is promoted when buying the hosting plan. So better don't rely on the extension rates, it probably changes over your renewal period...

Hi everyone,

I'm looking at different hosting providers, Hostinger being one of them, and I can't make sense of what I see on this picture:

Does it mean :

1. That the plan is 93.60$ for 4 years, including 15 months of free domain registration? If so, does that mean that after the initial 15 months I will have to add my domain registration to the hosting subscription?

   1. Does this mean that after the first 15 months, an additionnal annual fee of 15$ (cost of my registration) will be added to the plan?

2. That the price of of 93.60$ includes everything: hosting, 15 months of free domain registration, and the remaining 33 months of domain registration?

I'm sure I'm not the only one scratching their head at this, so thank you for any insight you may provide!

After 2 years i must renew my plan. Unfortunately, I don't get the same discount as when I registered. Is it somehow still possible?

So my domain expired and I tried to renew it with Bluehost, only to find it had been deleted from my account.

They are claiming it needs to be renewed from the backend which would come with a much larger $80 redemption fee, compared to the $10 regular domain price.

For context, the domain expired 11 days ago, it was under 7 days when I started speaking with their customer service.

I have been passed between a few agents and even had the case prematurely closed due to an error on their side- which was very frustrating.

I saw on their website that they offer an auto-renew grace period (AGP) so I wanted to check if I can argue my case and hopefully avoid the redemption fee.

If I have to pay it then so be it but I wanted to take some advice first. Thanks y’all
