Hostinger Alternative

The Hostinger alternative built for static websites

Hostinger is a budget shared host built for PHP, MySQL, and WordPress, managed through a control panel and FTP. For a static website that is a lot of overhead. Drag a ZIP or HTML onto Static.app instead: a free tier to start, honest monthly pricing, and forms, analytics, and custom domains with free SSL all included on paid plans.

  • A real free tier

    Hostinger has no free hosting; the only no-cost path is a 30-day money-back guarantee you pay for first. Static.app hosts 1 website free, forever, with a free subdomain and SSL.

  • Honest monthly pricing

    Hostinger's $2.99/mo headline needs a 48-month prepayment and renews around $10.99/mo, and short billing terms may carry a setup fee. Static.app is a flat $6/mo with no multi-year lock-in, no setup fee, and no renewal spike.

  • Purpose-built for static

    No cPanel, no PHP or MySQL, no FTP, and no inode file limits to trip over. Drag a ZIP or HTML and it's live, with forms, analytics, QR codes, and an in-browser editor included.

Hostinger Alternative FAQ

Does Hostinger have a free plan?

No. Hostinger has no free hosting tier; the only no-risk path is a 30-day money-back guarantee, which you pay for upfront and then request a refund. Its separate Horizons AI builder offers a short free trial that cannot publish until you pay. Static.app has a genuine free tier that hosts 1 website with a free subdomain and SSL.

Is Hostinger really $2.99/mo?

Only on a 48-month prepayment (around $143 upfront). Short monthly terms cost significantly more than the promotional multi-year rate and may add a setup fee, and after the intro term it renews at about $10.99/mo. Static.app is a flat $6/mo billed monthly, with no multi-year commitment, no setup fee, and no renewal jump.

Do I need cPanel or PHP for a static website?

On Hostinger you manage files through hPanel's File Manager or FTP, on a stack built for PHP, MySQL, and WordPress, none of which a static website uses. Static.app is purpose-built for static: drag a ZIP or HTML and it's live, with no control panel and no database.

Are there file limits?

Hostinger's Premium plan caps you at 400,000 inodes (files), which a media-heavy website can approach even with storage to spare. Static.app has no inode limit.

Does Hostinger include forms and analytics?

Hostinger's built-in/no-code forms (and an analytics dashboard) are part of its Website Builder; on plain hosting you add your own script or third-party tool. Static.app includes forms, privacy-friendly analytics, and QR codes on the hosting itself.

Will my custom domain and SSL work?

Yes. Static.app includes a custom domain with free SSL. Connect your domain from the dashboard and HTTPS is issued automatically. (Hostinger includes a free domain for the first year, which renews at standard rates.)
