Content policy at Hostinger comes down to legality and resource impact rather than a fixed list of banned topics. Most website and content types are allowed as long as they comply with applicable laws and Hostinger’s Terms of Service, with a couple of clear exceptions — cryptocurrency mining and nulled or cracked scripts — that aren’t permitted at all due to security and resource concerns. Each is covered individually below.
Is mining allowed at Hostinger?
Cryptocurrency mining is the process of using computer power to solve complex mathematical problems, which validate and secure transactions on a blockchain. This, in turn, can generate rewards in the form of newly created cryptocurrency coins, or collection of service fees.
Due to security concerns and the intensive use of resources required by crypto miners, mining activity is not allowed at Hostinger.
However, you can host informative websites about cryptocurrency topics, as long as they do not directly involve trading or mining activities. Please consider the following guidelines:
-
All hosted materials must comply with applicable laws and regulations, including intellectual property rights
-
You are not allowed to host content of illegal nature or that promotes or encourages any illegal activity
-
You are not allowed to host code, files or programs that could limit, disrupt or damage the functionality of Hostinger’s software or hardware

Are affiliate websites allowed at Hostinger?
An affiliate website promotes products or services using links provided by the company being promoted. When a visitor clicks an affiliate link and completes a purchase or another desired action, such as signing up for a newsletter, the affiliate earns a commission or referral fee. Affiliate website content often includes product reviews, comparisons, and promotional material.
At Hostinger, you can host affiliate websites promoting products and services that are legally marketable and comply with the terms of the affiliate companies. For instance, the sale or distribution of prescription medication without a valid prescription is not allowed.
Can nulled scripts be used at Hostinger?
Nulled or cracked scripts refer to software applications, themes, plugins, or any other digital content that has been tampered with to remove licensing and copyright protection, allowing them to be used without proper authorization.
While they might seem appealing to save costs, installing such scripts can lead to severe security issues, putting your website and the entire server at risk – they are susceptible to hidden malware, backdoors, and vulnerabilities that malicious actors can exploit.
At Hostinger, we prioritize the security of all internet users. Therefore, any engaging with nulled scripts or copyright infringement is not permitted and could lead to service suspension in accordance with our Terms of Service.
Legality, copyright compliance, and Terms of Service adherence are what determine whether a content or website type is allowed at Hostinger — most types are permitted with those conditions in mind. Cryptocurrency mining and nulled or cracked scripts are the exceptions that aren’t allowed under any circumstances, due to the security and resource risks they carry.
