How to boost your hosting plan in Hostinger

Boost your Hostinger hosting plan for free once a month to get a higher plan’s performance for 24 hours during traffic spikes or large updates.

Updated 6 days ago

Boost your hosting plan in Hostinger to get the performance of a higher plan for 24 hours, free once per month, from the Resources Usage section of Hostinger dashboard. Common reasons to boost your hosting plan include:

  • A temporary increase in website traffic
  • Importing large amounts of data
  • Performing a full website update
  • Testing a higher hosting plan without committing to an upgrade

In these cases, you can use the boost option. Boosting temporarily increases your plan’s capacity for 24 hours, giving you the performance of a higher plan. This helps you complete tasks faster and reduces the risk of errors caused by resource limits.

How to activate a free boost

Go to Websites → Manage site and open Resources Usage in the left sidebar.

Hosting sidebar with Resources Usage highlighted under Hosting menu

At the top of the section, click Boost resources.

NOTES

  • Free boosting can be activated once per month. The option will be enabled again after one month has passed since the last boost
