Our verdict
Hosting.cl suits Chilean small businesses that want hosting, email and a store builder from one long established provider, and the 180 day money back period removes most of the risk of a first purchase. Renewal is the point to check, since the CLP 159,900 entry rate covers only the 12 month introductory term.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A money back period of 180 days, ranking first on that measure among 275 brands compared.
- Support covers phone, email and help centre, so a phone call sits alongside email and a help centre.
- Hosting types run shared hosting, vps and dedicated servers, so a site can climb from shared hosting to colocation without moving provider.
- A store builder as well as a site builder, with the e-commerce plan at CLP 249,900.
- Capacity in Santiago, Chile keeps Chilean sites close to local visitors.
Cons
- There is no free plan, so a first purchase from Hosting.cl is a paid one.
- Renewal falls outside the 12 month introductory term that carries CLP 159,900, so the renewal bill is the one to watch.
- Capacity sits in Santiago, Chile, so visitors far from Chile carry the distance in load times.
- Host Chile lists CLP 1,491.67 at entry, below the CLP 159,900 introductory rate here in Chilean pesos.
Who it suits
- Chilean small businesses that want hosting, email and an online store in one account.
- First time buyers who want a wide window to decide rather than a short trial.
- Sites that will grow from shared hosting to VPS, dedicated servers or colocation over time.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers after a free plan: Hosting.cl has none, and Render starts at $0.
- Visitors served far from Chile who need capacity closer to them, since Hosting.cl lists Santiago, Chile.
- Price shoppers comparing the smallest entry figure in another currency: Afrihost lists ZAR 84.
What you get free
There is no free plan here, so the cheapest route onto Hosting.cl is a paid hosting plan rather than a trial at no cost. What softens that is the money back period: 180 days to decide. You pay at sign-up and can still cancel with the cost refunded inside that window, which leaves a wide stretch of time to judge speed, support and uptime on your own traffic before the money is spent for good.
Intro and renewal prices
The entry plan is priced at CLP 159,900, and that is an introductory rate rather than the standing one. It holds for a first term of 12 months, after which the plan renews at its own price. Keep the plan name in hand while you compare, because the figure belongs to the entry plan rather than to every hosting option in the range, and the renewal charge is set separately from the launch price.
Core features
Hosting.cl covers shared hosting, vps and dedicated servers, so a site can move up the ladder without changing provider. Shared hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, cloud servers and housing and colocation all sit with the same company, and included across the plans are free ssl, backups and email, covering certificates, backups and email. Capacity is in Santiago, Chile, which keeps local traffic close and distant traffic further away.
The company behind it
The provider is HOSTING.CL Ltda, registered in Chile and trading since 1999. Support runs on phone, email and help centre: phone, email and a help centre. A long operating history and in country support make this a domestic provider with a named legal entity behind the service, and the same company answers the account whichever hosting type you run.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to start with Hosting.cl?+
Entry starts at CLP 159,900 on the hosting plans sold for Chile, and the same figure is quoted as the introductory rate. That price holds for a first term of 12 months, after which the plan renews on its own terms. Check the plan name against the figure before you order, because the rate belongs to the entry plan rather than to every hosting type in the range.
What happens when the plan renews?+
Renewal is charged separately from the entry rate. The CLP 159,900 figure is introductory and applies for a first term of 12 months, so plan for the renewal to cost more rather than assuming the launch price carries over. Each plan carries its own renewal price, which is why the plan name matters as much as the amount when you compare.
Is there a free plan?+
There is no free plan at Hosting.cl, so any budget you set starts with a paid plan. The nearest thing to a trial is the money back period of 180 days, which returns the cost if you cancel inside that window. If a no cost start is the priority, Render lists $0 at entry instead.
How long is the money back period?+
The money back period is 180 days, the longest window among the brands compared here and the measure on which this provider ranks first out of 275 brands. Most sit at 30 days, so you get far more room to judge the service than a typical window allows.
What kinds of hosting can I buy?+
Hosting.cl sells shared hosting, vps and dedicated servers, so you can start on shared hosting and step up to VPS, dedicated servers, cloud servers, housing or colocation as a project outgrows the first plan. Included features are free ssl, backups and email, which covers certificates, backups and email, so the essentials for a business site sit in the package.
Where are the servers?+
The listed data centre is Santiago, Chile. That is the whole stated footprint, and it is the reason to pick this provider for a Chilean audience, since the hardware sits in the same country as the visitors it is meant to serve. If your traffic is spread across other continents, the distance to that location shows up in page load times.
How do I contact support?+
Support runs on phone, email and help centre, covering phone, email and a help centre. Phone is the fast route when a site is down and waiting on a written reply is not an option, while email and the help centre handle account changes, invoices and the routine questions that come with a hosting account.
Can I sell products through Hosting.cl?+
Hosting.cl covers site and store projects, so a plain site can become a store. The store option runs on its own plan priced at CLP 249,900, which sits alongside the CLP 159,900 hosting entry price rather than replacing it, so treat the two as separate lines in a budget.
