Hostinger

Began in 2004 in Kaunas as Hosting Media, launched the free 000webhost service in 2007, and took the Hostinger name in the 2011 rebrand. The plan has always been volume at the lowest possible price: shared hosting for a euro or two a month, an in-house control panel (hPanel) instead of cPanel, and relentless marketing. Today it is one of the world's largest hosts by customer count, headquartered in Vilnius. As with all loss-leader pricing, the fine print is where the renewal cost lives.
