Hostinger wins on intro price. Here are the alternatives if you care more about design, ease or what you pay at renewal.
Hostinger is popular because its intro prices are low, especially on long prepaid terms. People look elsewhere when renewal prices arrive, when the builder feels limited, or when they would rather not manage hosting at all. It helps to be clear which Hostinger you mean: the web hosting (for WordPress and custom sites) or the Hostinger Website Builder. The alternatives are different for each.

For cheap hosting you control, Hostinger is still a sensible pick; compare renewal prices, not intro prices, before switching. If the builder is the problem, Wix and Squarespace give you more design polish, and Durable or We.Inc get a site drafted for you by AI. We.Inc includes hosting and SSL on published sites, so there is no separate host to manage.
Raw hosting. If you want to run WordPress, several sites or your own code on low-cost hosting with email accounts, Hostinger's hosting plans are built for that. We.Inc is a builder, not a general web host.
Like most hosts, Hostinger advertises intro prices for the first term, often on multi-year plans. Renewals are billed at the regular rate. Check the renewal price on their site before you buy.
