The short answer
Hostinger and Bluehost both sell shared hosting for WordPress and small business sites, and both advertise a low monthly price that applies to a long first term, then renews higher. Hostinger's entry plan is cheaper upfront if you commit to 48 months. Bluehost's entry plan allows more websites and renews slightly lower.
If you'd rather pay the same price every year, with email included and no multi-year commitment, Cloudzyro Web Hosting is a third option.
Intro prices and renewal prices
On November 1, 2026, during Hostinger's Black Friday sale, its Premium plan showed $2.49 a month for 48 months, paid upfront as $119.52, and renews at $10.99 a month. Its Unlimited plan showed $3.49 a month for 48 months, renewing at $16.99.
Bluehost's Starter plan showed $3.99 a month for a 36-month term, renewing at $9.99 a month. Business showed $6.99 a month, renewing at $13.99.
Cloudzyro Lite is $39.99 a year or $6.99 a month, plus tax, and renews at that same price. Over four years, Hostinger's Premium deal costs less upfront ($119.52 against $159.96 for four years of Lite). The difference shows at renewal: Lite's next year is $39.99, while Premium renews at $10.99 a month.
What's included
Hostinger Premium includes 3 websites, 20 GB of SSD storage, a domain free for the first year, free weekly backups and 2 mailboxes per website, free for a year. Bluehost Starter includes 10 websites, 10 GB of NVMe storage, a free domain for the first year on 12- or 36-month plans and weekly backups; email is a Pro Email free trial that then renews at $2.50 a month.
Cloudzyro Lite includes 30 websites, 30 GB of NVMe storage, email on your own domain, cPanel, SSH, PHP 7.4 to 8.4 per site, and 30 days of JetBackup backups you restore yourself. Yearly plans include a new domain free for the first year (except .io).
Refunds
All three offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. Bluehost deducts a domain fee at the domain's regular price if your plan came with a free domain. Cloudzyro's guarantee covers hosting; a domain registration isn't refundable.
