Five things you get by moving from Hostinger.
01Your price is locked while you stay on the plan
Our Price Lock Promise holds your renewal price at whatever you signed up for, for as long as you stay on the plan. It is written into the contract you can read before you spend anything.
02Start this month, at the same price
Their headline rate asks for four years in advance. Ours is the same price monthly or yearly, apart from the yearly discount, so you can start this month and stay month to month for as long as you like.
03Your site is copied every night, on every plan
Every Web Hosting plan copies your whole site every night and keeps thirty of those copies offsite, free, from US$3.00/mo up. The table below sets that beside what Hostinger include on their entry plan.

What buyers ask us about Hostinger.
These are the questions buyers send us while they are deciding between Hostinger and us, answered the way one of our own engineers would answer them.
Ways To Reach UsThe table above shows Hostinger's own published price for year one and for renewal, read on 2026-09-29, or says plainly where their page does not list a figure. Check their current rate before you decide. Ours comes from our catalogue as the page loads, and it renews at the same price, on the same plan (Terms 7.5).
The website and mailbox migration tools are free on every hosting plan, and Kora runs them with you. For a big or a delicate setup, one of our engineers can carry the whole move out for you at a price you agree first. A person from our team makes first contact within 2 New Zealand business hours of your order, and the work is finished in one to two business days. Moving your domain registration is separate. For most extensions, a transfer costs one year's renewal and adds that year to your domain. Transfers of .nz, .co.nz and .uk domains are free.
No. We build your site here on an address of its own while the one you have on Hostinger carries on exactly as it is, and your domain points here only on the day you decide. For seven days after your site goes live here, one click takes you back to your old host, or shows exactly what to restore if your DNS is at your own registrar.
Yes. You can leave the registration where it is and point the domain here by changing its nameservers, or move the registration to us too. For most domains a transfer takes five to seven days; a .nz domain usually moves the same day, often within hours.
The certificate, nightly backups with thirty nights kept, mailboxes on your own domain, the migration tools and the CDN, on every Web Hosting plan; the size of the plan is the only thing that changes.
Kora answers straight away, at any hour. When you need a person, our team picks it up.
Yes. If you are a new customer and not satisfied with the Services, you may request a full refund of your first hosting Plan payment by cancelling and submitting a refund request within thirty (30) days of the date of your first paid invoice for that Plan. The guarantee applies to monthly and annual subscriptions to Start, Pro, Scale and Cloud Power. It does not apply to renewal payments, or to Customers who have previously had a KapsuleHost Account or received a refund; clause 1.3 lists every exclusion.
Kapsule Group Limited, a New Zealand company. Kora answers straight away, at any hour. When you need a person, our team picks it up.
Often, yes. Tell us what you paid and how long is left, and we will work out with you what the move costs and what it saves you over the next three years. The migration tools are free either way.
