How do I cancel Hostinger?
2 min Self-serve
Short answer
Cancel Hostinger hosting in hPanel: open Billing, open the arrow next to the hosting plan and choose Disable auto-renew. It takes about 2 minutes, and the plan remains active until its expiration date; back up files, databases and email first, because the service data is deleted at expiry. Eligible hosting payments have a 30-day refund window, subject to documented exclusions.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
Hostinger documents a 30-day refund window for eligible new and renewal hosting payments. Exclusions include certain domains, add-ons and payment methods. An approved refund permanently deletes associated data.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
Hostinger allows billing cycle changes, but cancellation does not move hosting to a free plan. Contact support before expiry for a paid-plan change.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
No hosting-subscription pause is documented in the official billing and cancellation pages reviewed.
What happens to my account data?
When hosting expires or a refund is processed, the website, database and email data are deleted. Profile deletion is separate and requires no active services, domains or balance.
