Hostinger alternative: no four-year lock, no renewal jump
Hostinger's $2.99 is a 48-month commitment, and month 49 costs $10.99 — their own renewal line says so. Ours is $4.16 a month on a one-year term and stays $4.16, which over five years is $249.50 against their $275.40.
Their published price against ours, both on the terms each of us asks for. Checked in a browser on the date under the table.
Cheaper for four years, then not
Their figure is a promotion with a 48-month term attached to it. Ours is the price.

Who should switch, and who should not
Switch to us if
You have been here before: the cheap years end, the invoice triples, and moving is the only lever left. Or you want to know the price of year six today. Our cycles discount up to 17% and the figure never moves afterwards.
Stay where you are if
You need a hundred sites on a three-dollar plan — their entry tier carries 100 websites, ours carries one, and no amount of managing makes up that difference. You are also fine with paying four years up front to get the headline price.
Moving is on us
Tell us what to move
Send the login to the current host, or a backup file. One site or forty — the migration is free on every plan.
We copy it and you check it
The site comes up on our platform on a temporary address. Nothing points here yet, so you can click through it before anything changes.
We switch the DNS
When you say go, the name points at us. Done outside your busy hours if you ask, and with the old host still running until it is finished.
Questions about switching
You are more expensive. Why?
For the first four years, yes, by about $56 in total. After that their price triples and ours does not, so the lines cross in month 56. You are also buying a container per site and engineers who run a thousand servers, rather than the cheapest headline on the market.
What does an isolated container change?
Your site does not share a filesystem or a process table with a neighbour. A compromised site next door cannot read your files, and a neighbour's traffic spike cannot take your CPU.
Will you match their promotional price?
No. A price that exists only to expire is the thing we are selling against; matching it would make the rest of this page a lie.
Want the comparison for your own setup?
Send the plan you are on and what runs on it. We will say plainly whether moving is worth it — including when it is not.
