WordPress Hosting Comparison
Fast-growing budget hosting provider with aggressive pricing — one of the UK's most-searched hosting brands.
Bottom line: Hostinger's aggressive pricing makes it attractive for personal and starter sites. For a business website, the shared infrastructure, absence of genuine WordPress management, and support model are significant limitations.

Published scaling policy, defined resource allocations, no traffic overage charges. You know exactly what you're paying and what you're getting.
Engineers who understand WordPress, available when UK businesses need them. Not a first-line script-reader in a distant time zone.
Hostinger does run LiteSpeed on its servers, which is a genuine advantage over Apache-based hosts. However, Hostinger's LiteSpeed runs on shared infrastructure — your site competes with others for CPU and memory. WP Pro Host's LiteSpeed Enterprise runs on dedicated bare metal with isolated resources, which gives consistently faster response times under load.
Hostinger is well-suited for personal sites and low-stakes projects. For a business website where uptime and performance directly affect revenue, shared hosting's resource contention and limited support model create unacceptable risk. Hostinger does not offer managed WordPress in the sense of proactive management — security, updates, and performance are still your responsibility.
Hostinger includes weekly automated backups on the free tier and daily backups on paid plans. WP Pro Host includes daily backups with up to 60-day retention on every plan, stored off-server.
Hostinger does not include malware removal as a standard service. WP Pro Host includes malware scanning and remediation on every plan — if something is found, we handle it.
Free migration included. We handle DNS, SSL, databases, and content. Average migration completed in under 24 hours.
