Hostinger ranks 2nd among Europe’s long-term growth champions, according to the Financial Times

Hostinger was ranked 2nd in the Financial Times and Statista’s Long-term Growth Champions: Europe 2026 special report, which highlights European companies that have achieved sustained revenue growth over the past decade.

“Back in 2004, Hostinger started as an experiment that, over the past two decades, became a trusted brand for many,” says Hostinger CEO Daugirdas Jankus. “Our focus has always been on understanding our clients’ evolving needs and delivering the newest technologies, helping them succeed online faster and more easily. This approach has fueled our growth and continues to guide us forward. These achievements are made possible by our clients – individuals and businesses who trust us to help bring their ideas online and inspire us to keep raising the bar every day.”

Hostinger’s growth is driven by AI-powered innovations, an expanding customer base, and increasing operational efficiency. In 2024 alone, the company’s consolidated revenue grew by 65% year-over-year to €182.4 million. Hostinger has been listed in the FT 1000 list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies for six consecutive years.

Founded in 2004, Hostinger now operates 13 data centers in Asia, Europe, and North and South America. Hostinger closed last year with over 3.45 million customers from more than 150 countries, maintaining strong growth in both developed and emerging markets. India, Brazil, the USA, Indonesia, and France had the highest number of active users last year, while Pakistan, the United Kingdom, Spain, Mexico, and Colombia also ranked among the top 10. 

AI innovations powering client success

A key driver of Hostinger’s growth is its focus on AI-driven tools that simplify the website-building and online business journey. In 2025 alone, two major AI products reached the market.We introduced Hostinger Reach, an AI-powered email marketing tool. In March, we launched Hostinger Horizons, a no-code AI platform for building websites and web apps. Meanwhile, Hostinger Website Builder uses AI to create professional websites, write content, generate images, and handle SEO tasks. WordPress users also benefit from AI tools to build, troubleshoot, and optimize their websites.

“We’ve seen incredible breakthroughs in AI. What used to take companies years to build is now happening in just months. This fast-paced change is removing barriers to technology, and it’s becoming easier than ever for individuals and small businesses to succeed online,” says Daugirdas Jankus. 

To make technologies even more accessible, Hostinger introduced Kodee more than two years ago, an AI agent designed to help users build and grow online faster. Today, Kodee can act on command, migrating websites, finding and registering domains, writing blog posts, and managing WooCommerce products – all instantly and 24/7. It now supports more than 350 actions, helping users handle tasks that once required technical skills or extra time – with new capabilities added to Kodee every day. 

In September 2025 alone, Kodee handled 855,000 conversations, fully resolving 76% of them without human help – up from 50% at the start of 2025. This improvement allows Hostinger teams to focus on complex, high-value interactions while making it easier for customers to get started and succeed online. That same month, Kodee saved over €750,000, projecting to annual savings of more than €9 million. Greater efficiency on our side translates into more value for customers – affordable prices, more useful features, and faster, safer service.

“We’re just getting started – with many plans and big bets ahead, we remain committed to delivering even more value to our clients,” says Daugirdas Jankus.
