Hostinger review

Verified greenchecked 1 November 2026What this means

Very low intro prices on LiteSpeed servers, with NVMe storage on its bigger plans.

Hostinger has some of the lowest starting prices around, but only if you pay for four years upfront: £71.52 on the Single plan. After that, Single renews at £7.99 a month, more than five times the intro rate. Good value if you are happy to commit for four years.

How green is Hostinger?

Hostinger is in the Green Web Foundation's directory of verified green hosting providers (we checked on 1 November 2026).

What the Foundation's verification means

Hostinger says the electricity used by all its data centres is matched in full with renewable electricity, through supply contracts, power purchase agreements and renewable energy certificates. Its 2025 sustainability report says it bought certificates itself for four sites and relied on its colocation providers for the rest; this is matching over a year, not clean power delivered to the servers. The same report puts its total footprint at 20,680 tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2025, up 50% on the year before.

The countries offered for web and cloud hosting, in Hostinger's own space or its colocation partners'.

The data centres we list are in 10 countries, whose grids average 346 g CO2e per kWh, against 218 g in the UK. Lower is cleaner.
