THE TRUE-COST TEST
Low introductory pricing is only half the story.
Both providers currently start at $2.99/month, but their renewal economics differ. Hostinger renews at $10.99/month while SiteGround renews at $17.99/month. Hostinger therefore has the long-term price advantage, while SiteGround asks buyers to pay more after the promotional period for its support-focused WordPress experience.
