Pros and cons
Pros
- Hosting starts at BRL 7.99 with a 30 money back period, so a wrong pick is cheap to undo.
- The range covers shared hosting, cloud hosting and VPS under the same brand.
- Hosting plans include free ssl, backups and email.
- A free plan is offered for the site builder.
Cons
- Data centres sit in Brazil, which puts distance between the servers and visitors elsewhere.
- Support runs on chat and help centre, without a phone line listed.
- Domain prices sit high on this bill: BRL 53.90 for a .com in the first year and BRL 57 for a transfer.
Who it suits
- Brazilian beginners putting a first site online, since a free builder plan sits alongside paid hosting.
- Small businesses that want hosting and a domain from one provider, with from 40 extensions available.
- WordPress projects and resellers, since shared hosting, cloud hosting and VPS are all offered.
Who should look elsewhere
- Teams that want hosting at no entry cost: Render lists an entry price of $0.
- Readers shopping only on entry price: Afrihost lists ZAR 84 and Hosting.cl lists CLP 159,900.
What you get free
The site builder runs on a free plan, so a project can start without paying. Paid hosting comes with a 30 money back period, which keeps a first subscription low risk. Together they mean a beginner can try the builder, then move to hosting and still back out.
Core features
Hosting choices span shared hosting, cloud hosting and VPS, so a single site, a WordPress project or a reseller account can all find a fit. Shared plans hold a small number of sites, and Cloud plans hold more of them. Hosting plans include free ssl, backups and email, which covers the essentials a new site needs. Servers sit in Brazil, which keeps traffic local.

Frequently asked questions
What does a KingHost hosting plan cost at the start?+
Hosting plans start at BRL 7.99, and the introductory price is the same figure, BRL 7.99. Prices are quoted in Brazilian currency, so the cost sits in local money rather than needing a conversion. A .com costs BRL 53.90 for the first year, which is a separate line from hosting.
Is there a free plan to try?+
Yes. The site builder offers a free plan, and free plan confirms a free plan is the model rather than a timed trial. That lets you put up a site or store before paying anything. Hosting itself remains a paid subscription starting at BRL 7.99.
What is the money back period on hosting?+
Hosting comes with a 30 money back period, which matches the typical period across the brands compared here, 30. A wrong plan choice is therefore not a long term commitment, and the free builder plan already covers trying the tool at no cost.
Which types of hosting can I buy?+
The list covers shared hosting, cloud hosting and VPS. Shared hosting suits a single small site, WordPress hosting is there for CMS projects, and VPS or cloud hosting gives more control. Reseller hosting is included for people who sell space to others.
Where are KingHost's servers?+
Data centres sit in Brazil, and the company is registered in Brazil as KingHost Hospedagem de Sites Ltda.. Hosting is therefore aimed at Brazilian traffic, which suits local visitors and keeps response times short for them. Visitors further away may notice the extra distance.
How do I get help if something breaks?+
Support runs on chat and help centre, so a help centre handles written questions and chat handles live ones. Reliability is covered by a stated uptime guarantee of 99.9% on the hosting. The channel list is short, so plan on chat for anything urgent.
How much does a domain cost?+
A .com registration is BRL 53.90 for the first year, and transferring an existing .com costs BRL 57. The registrar carries from 40 extensions, so country and regional domains can sit on the same account as the hosting.
How many sites can I run on one plan?+
Shared plans cover a small number of sites, and Cloud plans allow more, so a growing business can stay with the same provider. The shared hosting, cloud hosting and VPS list is broad enough that the next step is usually a different plan rather than a different company.
