Step 2: Hostinger Web Plans

Single Web Hosting

This is their cheapest and most basic hosting plan you can found anywhere. With this plan, you can set up 1 website with 30GB of disk space.

The plan is very basic and offers 100GB bandwidth, 1 SQL database, and 1 FTP user.

You also get 1 email account and a user-friendly file manager.

If you want to start a website that doesn’t have any huge requirements, this plan is perfect for you.

Premium Web Hosting

The Premium Shared Hosting Plan is Hostinger’s top-selling plan and offers everything again at an affordable price.

For just ₹159, you can create unlimited websites. With that, you also get 100GB SSD storage space, unlimited bandwidth, SQL databases, email accounts, 2X Speed, and FTP users.

Lastly, you also get a free domain name with this plan.

This plan is for you if you want to create a WordPress site that you want to scale fast and has huge requirements.

Business Web Hosting

This plan is for websites with large-scale requirements and growing resources. Apart from the features in the Premium Shared Hosting plan, you also get features such as dedicated resources, speed boost, cache manager, isolated resources, uptime monitoring, 1-click installer, daily backups, and 24/7 customer support service.

Choose your desired plan as per your requirement. I would recommend choosing the basic plan and upgrade the plan later if needed.

Once you choose your plan, you will be redirected to the checkout page.

Before you checkout, make sure to check the time period for which you’re paying. By default, it’s selected at 48 months. If you choose to pay for 48 months, you’ll get the highest discount.

Note: The pricing plans shown on the homepage of Hostinger are when you purchase their hosting for 48 months. Pricing changes if you pay for less than 48 months.

I will recommend you to go for the annual plan.

But, Why an annual plan.

First, you will get a good time to decide for going for blogging.

Second, If you select a monthly plan, then you will leave your idea in a short period.

Third, you will get a good discount

So, going for annual is pretty good in all sense.

Then enter your email address and select a payment method.
