Black Friday is the best time of year to buy web hosting, and also the easiest time to pay for a bad deal. The headline discount applies only to the first term, the renewal is often three or four times higher, and the lowest prices usually need a long prepayment. A sale that runs for weeks gives you time to compare instead of rushing.
Hostinger has already set its dates: its own page says the Black Friday sale runs from October 19 to December 14, 2026. This guide shows what that page lists, how it compares with the prices we read on October 12, which other hosts have published anything yet, and a checklist for judging any hosting deal. For the full price comparison, see our four-year cost guide and the comparison of 11 shared hosts.
The short version: Hostinger's hosting deal is listed at $2.99 a month for the Premium plan, the same headline price we recorded on October 12, so the sale does not appear to lower the entry price; the extras (domains, email, VPS, AI apps) are where the new discounts are. Other hosts we checked had not published dates yet. Compare renewals, not the first-term price.
The sale runs October 19 to December 14, 2026. Eligible discounts are applied automatically, so no coupon code is needed for the main deals

All prices are as printed on Hostinger's Black Friday page on October 18, 2026; terms behind each monthly price are not shown on that page, and the page says savings vary by plan, billing term and location. Check the term at checkout.
🔎 Is the hosting price actually lower than before?
Hostinger's web hosting plans page already showed these prices on October 18: Premium at $2.99 a month (75% off $11.99), Unlimited at $3.99 (79% off $18.99) and Cloud Startup at $7.99 (71% off $27.99), each on a 48-month term. Those are the same monthly prices we recorded on October 12, so the Black Friday headline for shared hosting matches the price you could already see. Check the page again after October 19 in case the numbers move.
| Plan | 48 months | Regular total | Renews at | Included |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | $143.52 ($2.99/mo) | $575.52 | $10.99/mo | 3 websites, 20GB SSD, free weekly backups, a free domain for a year |
| Unlimited | $191.52 ($3.99/mo) | $911.52 | $16.99/mo | Unlimited websites, 50GB NVMe, daily backups, a free domain for a year |
| Cloud Startup | $383.52 ($7.99/mo) | $1,343.52 | $25.99/mo | Unlimited websites, 100GB NVMe, daily and on-demand backups |
All plans are paid upfront, according to Hostinger's page; the monthly price is the total divided by the months in the plan. A renewal year costs $131.88 on Premium, $203.88 on Unlimited and $311.88 on Cloud Startup (12 x the renewal price).

✅ How to judge any hosting Black Friday deal
🎯 Who should wait, and who should buy now?
| You are | Our view |
|---|---|
| Starting a first site and want Hostinger | The listed price matches what we read on October 12, and the sale runs until December 14, so there is no need to rush on the first day |
| Comparing several hosts | Wait to see what others publish, and compare four-year totals |

| Need a VPS | Hostinger lists a 67% off VPS deal; compare it with other VPS providers first |
Treat the sale as a long window, not a countdown. Hostinger's dates run from October 19 to December 14, its hosting price looks the same as before, and the renewal is where the cost sits. Decide on the four-year total and the plan you need, then buy.
