The Hostinger regional brand you choose during registration determines your account currency permanently.<\/span><\/p>

At Hostinger, your account currency is set by the specific regional brand (site) you used when you first registered. This selection is permanent and cannot be changed after the account is created.<\/span><\/p>

This article explains why currency limitations exist, which Hostinger brand you should use for your preferred currency, and how to register on the correct regional site.<\/span><\/p>

Why is the currency fixed?<\/b><\/h3>

Each Hostinger regional brand operates as a separate entity with its own pricing, tax requirements, and payment processors. The currency tied to your account reflects the specific legal and financial framework of that brand.<\/span><\/p>

Switching currencies is not technically supported because it would require transferring your account data between two separate billing systems.<\/span><\/p>

Choosing the correct Hostinger brand<\/b><\/h3>

The table below shows common Hostinger brands and their associated currencies:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Hostinger Brand<\/b><\/td>\nCurrency<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
hostinger.com<\/b> (Global)<\/span><\/td>\nUSD ($)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
hostinger.in<\/b> (India)<\/span><\/td>\nINR (₹)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

hostinger.fr<\/b> (France)<\/span><\/td>\nEUR (€)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>

NOTES<\/b><\/p>

    \n
  • Local payment methods like UPI (India) or PIX (Brazil) are only available on their respective regional brands.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • If you do not see your local payment method, ensure you are using the correct regional site.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

    How to set a new account currency<\/b><\/h3>

    If you need a different currency, you must create a new account on the appropriate regional site.<\/span><\/p>

    Option 1 – Use a new email address<\/b><\/h4>

    This is the recommended method as it does not affect any existing services.<\/span><\/p>

      \n
    1. Visit the specific <\/span>Hostinger regional site<\/b> (e.g., <\/span>hostinger.in<\/b> for India).<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Click <\/span>Sign Up<\/b> and register using an email address that is not currently associated with a Hostinger account.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Complete your purchase in the local currency.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>

      Option 2 – Re-register with the same email<\/b><\/h4>

      Use this method only if you have no active services and wish to reuse your current email address.<\/span><\/p>

        \n
      1. Log in to <\/span>hPanel<\/b> and click on your <\/span>profile icon<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Select <\/span>Account Information<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Scroll to the bottom and click <\/span>Delete Account<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Confirm the deletion via the link sent to your email.<\/span><\/li>\n
      5. Go to the desired <\/span>Hostinger regional site<\/b> and register a fresh account using that same email.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>

        NOTES<\/b><\/p>

          \n
        • Account deletion is permanent and removes all files, databases, and emails.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Always download backups before deleting an account.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Contact the <\/span>Hostinger Customer Success<\/b> team if you have active services that require manual migration.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

          Troubleshooting regional redirects<\/b><\/h3>

          If the website keeps redirecting you to the global site (<\/span>hostinger.com<\/b>) even when you try to access a regional one, your browser may be storing old session data. To resolve this:<\/span><\/p>

            \n
          1. Log out<\/b> of all Hostinger accounts.<\/span><\/li>\n
          2. Clear your browser cookies<\/b> or open a <\/span>private (incognito) window<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
          3. Navigate directly to the regional URL (e.g., <\/span>hostinger.in<\/b>).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>

            Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>
              \n
            • Can Hostinger support change my currency for me?<\/b> No. The currency is set at account creation and is tied to the regional brand’s billing system. <\/span>Support agents cannot override this limitation. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
            • I already have services on hostinger.com. What happens to them?<\/b> If you have active services, do not delete your account. <\/span>Contact the Hostinger Customer Success team to discuss options for migrating services to a regional account. <\/span><\/span>Do not attempt to delete an account that contains active hosting plans, domains, or emails. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
            • Will I lose my managed account access if I delete my profile?<\/b> Yes, you will temporarily lose access to any managed accounts. <\/span>However, you can request access again from your new regional account once it is created. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
            • Why was my account automatically created in USD without my choosing?<\/b> This typically happens if you sign up via a link pointing to the global site (hostinger.com<\/b>) rather than a regional site. <\/span>Always confirm the domain in your browser address bar before registering. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

              By following these steps, you can ensure your billing is handled in your preferred currency from the start.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
