It meets the bar: 3 websites, 20 GB, unmetered bandwidth with no visit figure (counts), free SSL on all plans, and an outside domain can be pointed to Hostinger nameservers.

  • 10 sites: $16.99/mo (Unlimited renews at $16.99/mo (unlimited websites, 50 GB NVMe, unmetered traffic). Premium caps at 3 websites and no site add-on packs are listed, so Unlimited is the cheapest plan that covers 10 sites, the 20 GB total and the visits.)

Sources

Pricing page: hostinger.com/web-hosting. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Intro and renewal prices come from the official pricing cards and their structured data; the changes come from PricingSaaS diff pages. PricingSaaS lists Cloud Startup at $9.99/mo, which conflicts with the official $7.99 intro (official used), and the FAQ's 'Single' plan has no price and is not listed, so it is treated as not sold.
