Hostinger
Budget web hosting with domains and an AI website builder.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — Google has not replaced it
Google's version overlaps, but does not finish the website builders job, so this one still earns its $3/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Free AI website generators reduce the value of builder software. Google, May 14, 2024 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 3 of 3 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Cloudflare Pages, Vercel and Netlify.
- What the call is worth $36/yr
- $3/mo at the entry paid tier — $36 a year per seat.

The backstory
Hostinger sells cheap hosting, domains and an AI website builder as an all-in-one package. AI builders alone are now free and everywhere, but a site still needs hosting, a domain, email and uptime that Hostinger provides. The infrastructure and price are the moat, not the AI page generator. Because someone must actually host the site, Hostinger survives even as generation gets commoditized.
