Hostinger WordPress hosting plans
| Plan | Price | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | | Single Web Hosting | $2.99/mo | One small site | | Premium Web Hosting | $3.99/mo | Most users — free domain, unlimited sites | | Business Web Hosting | $4.99/mo | WooCommerce and heavier traffic | | Cloud Hosting | $9.99/mo | Scalable WordPress and apps |
The Business plan is the pick for WooCommerce — it includes more CPU, a free domain, and daily backups. Premium is the sweet spot for most blogs and business sites.
Hostinger vs other WordPress hosts
Hostinger beats Bluehost on every performance metric we measured while charging less — the data is in our Hostinger vs Bluehost comparison. Against managed hosts like Kinsta, Hostinger trades some hands-off convenience (no automatic plugin management, no staging on cheaper tiers) for a fraction of the price. If you want the managed experience, see SiteGround or Kinsta.
Getting started with Hostinger
Hostinger login
- Go to hostinger.com and click Log in (top right).
- Enter your email and password — or use Google/Facebook single sign-on if you registered that way.
- You land in the hPanel dashboard, where your WordPress websites are listed.
Your username and password are the ones you set at signup. If you used Google login, you'll authenticate through Google instead of typing a password. Forgot your password? The "Forgot password" link emails a reset link to your account address.
Installing WordPress on Hostinger
hPanel has a one-click WordPress installer that provisions a site in 30–60 seconds, including database setup. The exact steps — plus pointing your domain and enabling SSL — are in our install WordPress on Hostinger tutorial.
Hostinger wordpress backup
Backups live in hPanel → Files → Backups. Daily backups are included on most plans and you can restore a site with one click. For extra safety, enable the free UpdraftPlus plugin or the bundled backup add-on.
