Hostinger’s 2026 Black Friday sale runs October 19 to December 14, 2026 (per Hostinger’s own Black Friday page, checked October 9, 2026), and the sale is not live yet. VPS plans are cut every year, but the exact 2026 VPS discounts are unconfirmed until Hostinger publishes them, what follows is based on the 2025 sale pattern and the current price structure.
Last year, Hostinger’s Black Friday ran October 13 to December 8, 2025, and a BLACKFRIDAY code stacked roughly 10% extra on top of the sale price (reported by deal trackers). For 2026, Hostinger’s own Black Friday page states that no coupon code is needed for the main deals, so do not go hunting for codes this year; the discount applies automatically in the cart.

Which VPS tiers get cut at Black Friday
Hostinger sells VPS in KVM tiers, KVM 1, KVM 2, KVM 4, KVM 8, and higher. In past sales, every tier has been discounted, but the deepest cuts land on the mid-range plans (KVM 2 and KVM 4), which is where most buyers actually land. Entry-level KVM 1 tends to get a smaller percentage cut because its everyday price is already low, while the top tiers get headline discounts aimed at businesses upgrading from shared hosting.
One thing that does not change at Black Friday: the term structure. VPS plans are sold on 1-, 12-, and 24-month terms, and the advertised sale price is always the longest-term price. If you buy monthly during the sale, you pay far more per month. The whole point of shopping the sale is to lock the longest term you can afford.
Here is where the current everyday prices sit, so you can measure the sale against them:
VPS KVM 2
24-month plan, paid upfront
Renews at $14.99/mo
- 2 vCPU + 8 GB RAM
- 100 GB NVMe storage
- 8 TB bandwidth
- Full root access
- n8n one-click template available
KVM 1 is the entry point for a first VPS; KVM 2 is the sweet spot most buyers choose (enough RAM for a real project without paying for idle capacity). If you need a template OS, for example the n8n one-click image, that lives on the same KVM tiers:
VPS KVM 2 (n8n template)
24-month plan, paid upfront
Renews at $14.99/mo
- n8n one-click install template
- 2 vCPU + 8 GB RAM
- 100 GB NVMe storage
- Full root access
- 8 TB bandwidth
KVM sizing: buy for next year, not today
The most expensive mistake in a VPS sale is buying too small because the price looked good, then paying full price to upgrade six months later. Hostinger lets you upgrade a VPS mid-term, but the upgrade is billed at the current (non-sale) price for the difference. So size for where your project will be in 12-18 months:
- Learning / first VPS: KVM 1 is enough. You will outgrow it, but you are learning, not scaling.
- One real project (site, app, n8n, game server): KVM 2. This is the tier most Black Friday buyers should target.
- Multiple projects or a busy store: KVM 4. RAM is what runs out first on shared workloads.
- Agency / reselling / heavy automation: KVM 8. Only buy this if you already know you need it.
A practical rule: RAM matters more than CPU for most VPS workloads. Web servers, Docker containers, n8n workflows, and game servers all hit RAM limits long before they max out vCPUs. When two tiers are close in sale price, take the one with more RAM.
The VPS renewal trap (read before you buy)
This is the part that costs people real money. Hostinger’s VPS sale prices are first-term prices. When your 24-month term ends, you renew at the full everyday price, which is roughly double the sale price. The gap is wider on VPS than on shared hosting, so the absolute dollar surprise is bigger.
How to handle it:
- Buy the longest term during the sale. A 24-month term at the sale price pushes the renewal shock two years out and halves its effective frequency.
- Set a calendar reminder for 30 days before renewal. Hostinger sends renewal notices, but your own reminder is what actually saves you.
- Do not assume a better deal is coming. The next Black Friday is a year away; renewal happens on Hostinger’s schedule, not yours.
- Compare the renewal price to competitors before renewing, our Hostinger vs Cloudways and Cloud vs VPS comparisons include current pricing.
We checked Hostinger’s current VPS pricing in October 2026 to establish the baseline above; the sale will cut from these numbers, not from some inflated “was” price.
What the 2025 sale tells us about 2026
The 2025 Black Friday sale (October 13, December 8, 2025) cut VPS across the board, and the BLACKFRIDAY code stacked about 10% more on the sale price at checkout, according to deal trackers. That code does not carry over, for 2026, Hostinger’s own page says no coupon code is needed for the main deals.
Two patterns from 2025 worth remembering:
- The sale started weeks before Black Friday day. In 2025 it opened October 13; in 2026 it opens October 19. Waiting until November 27 (Black Friday day) gains you nothing, the prices are the same, and popular tiers can sell through their promotional allocation.
- Early-bird and mid-sale prices were identical in 2025. There was no “deeper on Cyber Monday” moment for VPS. If the price looks right in late October, buy it.
VPS vs Cloud at Black Friday: which sale is better for you
Hostinger discounts both VPS and Cloud plans during Black Friday, and buyers often cross-shop them. The honest split:
- Buy VPS on sale if you want root access, custom software, Docker, game servers, or self-hosted automation like n8n. You manage the server; the discount is your reward for the extra work.
- Buy Cloud on sale if you want managed hosting that just works, no server admin, automatic scaling headroom, and the same Black Friday discount mechanics. See Black Friday web hosting deals for the managed side.
If you are unsure, read Hostinger Cloud vs VPS before the sale starts, it is cheaper to decide now than to migrate later.
How to buy on October 19 (checklist)
- Decide your tier now using the sizing guide above, sale-day indecision leads to buying the wrong plan.
- Open the sale through our link so the discount and the referral pricing apply together: Hostinger Black Friday page.
- Choose the 24-month term in the cart, the sale price you see advertised is the 24-month price.
- Check the cart total before paying. The 20% referral discount on your first purchase (verified October 2026) applies in the cart; confirm the final number matches what you expected.
- Skip the upsells you do not need. Daily backups and extra services are useful, but buy them because you need them, not because the checkout page suggested them.
- Set your renewal reminder the day you buy.

FAQ
When does Hostinger’s Black Friday VPS sale start in 2026?
October 19, 2026, running through December 14, 2026, according to Hostinger’s own Black Friday page (checked October 9, 2026). The sale is not live yet. Black Friday day itself is November 27, but waiting until then gains nothing, 2025’s prices were the same from opening day.
Do I need a coupon code for the 2026 VPS deals?
No. Hostinger’s 2026 Black Friday page states no coupon code is needed for the main deals. In 2025 a BLACKFRIDAY code stacked ~10% extra (per deal trackers), but that code does not carry over to 2026.
Which VPS plan is the best Black Friday buy?
KVM 2 for most buyers, enough RAM for a real project at a mid-range price, and historically the tier with the deepest percentage cut. KVM 1 if you are just learning; KVM 4+ only if you already know you need the resources.
What happens at renewal after the Black Friday term ends?
You renew at Hostinger’s full everyday VPS price (roughly double the sale price) for the same term length. Buy the 24-month term during the sale and set a calendar reminder 30 days before it renews.
Can I upgrade my VPS later if I buy too small?
Yes, Hostinger allows mid-term VPS upgrades, but the upgrade is billed at the current non-sale price. That is why the sizing guide above says to buy for next year’s needs, not today’s.
Is the n8n VPS template discounted too?
The n8n one-click template runs on standard KVM tiers, so it gets the same Black Friday VPS discount as the equivalent tier. Check current VPS pricing as your baseline.
When does the Hostinger Black Friday VPS sale start?
Hostinger’s own Black Friday page states the 2026 sale runs October 19 to December 14, 2026. The deals are not live yet, check the live deal boxes on the page, which we update the day the sale starts.
Do I need a coupon code for the Black Friday VPS deal?
No. Hostinger states no coupon code is needed for the main 2026 Black Friday deals, the discount applies automatically at checkout. In 2025 there was an extra BLACKFRIDAY code worth about 10% on top of the sale price; if a 2026 code appears, we will test and report it here.
Which Hostinger VPS plan should I pick on Black Friday?
Match the tier to the workload, not the discount. KVM 1 suits light projects and a first n8n install; KVM 2 is the safer pick for production workloads, busier apps, or game servers. The live deal boxes on the page show each tier’s current price and renewal rate.
What is the renewal price after my Black Friday VPS term ends?
The Black Friday price covers your first term only, renewals bill at the regular rate, which Hostinger shows before checkout. VPS renewals run noticeably higher than the intro price, so budget the renewal column, not just the sale badge. Check the live deal boxes for both numbers.
Can existing Hostinger customers get Black Friday VPS deals?
Yes. Hostinger says existing customers may receive separate Black Friday upgrade and cross-sell offers depending on their current services and eligibility. If you already have a VPS, check your hPanel for upgrade offers during the sale window.
Is there a money-back guarantee on Black Friday VPS purchases?
Yes. Hostinger’s 30-day money-back guarantee applies to eligible plans bought during the sale, so a Black Friday VPS purchase carries the same exit route as a full-price one. Terms and exclusions may apply, the checkout page states them before you pay.
