You can change the billing cycle of your Hostinger services, for example, from monthly to yearly upon renewal, or at any time while the service is active.
Change the billing cycle upon renewal
This option allows you to renew your Hostinger service for whichever period you choose, regardless if auto-renewal is enabled for that service.
If a renewal invoice has already been issued for this service, please cover this payment beforehand to enable the option to change the billing cycle.
To do so, open the Billing → Subscriptions section in your hPanel, locate your order and click on Renew now:
Then, select the preferred billing cycle from the dropdown list and proceed with the payment.
Change the billing cycle at any time
To change the billing cycle without renewing the service, ensure the following requirements for the service are met:
Auto-renewal is enabled
The service status is active
It is not a one-time payment purchase
There are no pending renewal invoices
If a renewal invoice has already been issued for this service, please cover this payment beforehand to enable the option to change the billing cycle.
Now, follow these steps:
Navigate to the Billing → Subscriptions of your hPanel
Click on the arrow next to the service (❯):
Next, click Change on the Billing period:
In the pop-up window, select the new period from the drop-down list and click on Save:
For hosting and email hosting, the available options are one month, 12 months, 24 months, and 48 months. When it comes to domains, the shortest renewal period available is one year.
For most services, choosing a longer period will improve the per-month price 💡
After saving the changes, your next billing cycle will take effect starting from the renewal date onward. We recommend awaiting the automatic renewal so that new billing period will be applied – if renew your service manually before its renewal date, you will only get the option to renew for the same duration as the current period.
