Hostinger Domain Pricing 2026: Complete Cost Breakdown by TLD

Hostinger frequently runs promotions that make first-year registration extremely affordable. Here's what you can expect:

• .com: $9.99 first year
• .net: $12.99 first year
• .online: $0.99 first year
• .store: $0.99 first year
• .xyz: $1.99 first year
• .io: $39.99 first year
• .ai: $59.99 first year

These promotional prices are among the lowest in the industry. The key is understanding what renewal costs before you commit.

Like all registrars, Hostinger's renewal rates are higher than first-year prices. The good news: Hostinger is transparent about this during checkout.

• .com: $15.99/year renewal
• .net: $18.99/year renewal
• .online: $29.99/year renewal
• .store: $29.99/year renewal
• .io: $49.99/year renewal

The jump on promotional TLDs (.online, .store) is steep — from $0.99 to $29.99. For long-term projects, .com at $15.99/year renewal is the better value play.

Hostinger is refreshingly straightforward. Here's what's included free: WHOIS privacy protection, basic DNS management, domain forwarding, and email forwarding. There are no setup fees, no hidden admin charges, and no forced upsells during checkout.

The only add-on cost is premium DNS (Cloudflare integration), which most users don't need. Compared to GoDaddy — which charges $9.99/year for WHOIS privacy alone — Hostinger's all-inclusive approach saves money.

When comparing total first-year cost including WHOIS privacy:

• Hostinger .com: $9.99 (WHOIS free) = $9.99 total
• Namecheap .com: $8.88 + $2.88 WhoisGuard = $11.76 total
• GoDaddy .com: $11.99 + $9.99 privacy = $21.98 total
• Google Domains (Squarespace): $12.00 (privacy free) = $12.00 total

Hostinger wins on total cost when WHOIS privacy is factored in. Only Cloudflare Registrar (at-cost pricing) is consistently cheaper, but it lacks the integrated hosting ecosystem.
