Hostinger capacity · Current Web plan limits
Hostinger Resource Limits Explained
Hostinger currently publishes unusually detailed hard limits for Web Single, Web Premium, and Web Business. The useful question is not which plan has the biggest number—it is which published ceiling your project is most likely to approach first.
Current Web plans publish 1 / 1 / 2 CPU cores, 1 / 2 / 3 GB RAM, 200k / 400k / 600k inodes, and 20 / 40 / 60 PHP workers. Storage, I/O, database count, and per-user MySQL connection limits also increase by tier. Verify the live hPanel values before buying because Hostinger says parameters can change.
Current Hostinger Web plan limits
Single, Premium, and Business increase different ceilings by different amounts.
| Resource | Web Single | Web Premium | Web Business | Buyer interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Websites | 1 | 3 | 50 | Administrative allowance only; all sites still share the plan resources. |
| CPU cores | 1 | 1 | 2 | Premium does not increase the published core count over Single. |
| RAM | 1 GB | 2 GB | 3 GB | Useful for concurrent processes and memory-heavy workloads. |
| Storage | 10 GB | 20 GB | 50 GB | Keep space for updates and temporary operations. |
| Inodes | 200,000 | 400,000 | 600,000 | Files, cache, staging and generated media can make file count the bottleneck. |
| I/O | 6,144 KB/s | 12,288 KB/s | 20,480 KB/s | Backups, imports and disk-heavy operations can expose I/O pressure. |
| Databases | 2 | 10 | 150 | Important for portfolios and applications using separate databases. |
| PHP workers | 20 | 40 | 60 | Relevant to simultaneous uncached PHP requests; not a universal speed score. |

Hostinger Web Plan Capacity Matcher
Find the lowest current Web plan whose published hard ceilings fit your entered storage, inode, database, and website requirements with a 20% planning reserve. CPU and PHP demand still require live monitoring.
Which Hostinger limit should you watch first?
Inodes
Hostinger surfaces guidance at high inode or disk usage. Repeated file-count growth from cache, staging, backups, or media should be diagnosed before upgrading.
CPU and RAM
Dynamic PHP, cron, imports, crawlers, and slow plugins can create account pressure even when storage is comfortable.
PHP workers
More workers can help concurrent dynamic work, but slow requests still occupy workers longer and can move the bottleneck to CPU or database work.
I/O
Disk-heavy tasks can be constrained independently from CPU and RAM, so compare like-for-like metrics in the Resource Usage screen.
When Premium may not solve the problem
Premium raises RAM, storage, inodes, I/O, databases, and PHP workers over Web Single, but the current public table still lists one CPU core on both. If CPU is the repeated bottleneck, verify whether Business or a different hosting architecture is the more relevant comparison rather than assuming every higher-priced tier increases every resource.
When to consider Business or Cloud
Business materially raises several Web-plan ceilings. If the project repeatedly reaches the same resource after optimization, compare the exact Business increase against your measured usage. For workloads that need substantially more isolated or configurable resources, also compare Hostinger Cloud or VPS architecture rather than treating a shared-plan upgrade as automatic.
