Read these in order if you have a Saturday.
Substantial how-tos, not keyword stubs. Defaults, tradeoffs, and the jobs we refuse to fake.
Hosting vs a website builder after you own a domain
A domain is not a website. When Hostinger shared hosting is the right next buy, and when Squarespace, Wix, or GoDaddy Website Builder is still the calmer Saturday.
Shared hosting that does not eat the weekend
What a one-page local brochure actually needs from Hostinger shared hosting. First-year discounts vs the renewal, and which checkboxes to leave alone.
Point a GoDaddy domain at Hostinger without breaking mail
Keep the name at the registrar. Point the website at Hostinger. Leave MX alone if Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 already works.
You probably do not need a VPS
When Hostinger shared is enough for a first brochure, what a VPS actually is, and the few times a one-person shop should consider one.
Hostinger vs GoDaddy hosting vs a builder
Cheap shared vs one-login hosting vs not buying hosting at all. We recommend a default. We name the exceptions. We do not sell star ratings.
How we pick a default
We recommend Hostinger shared hosting when a one-person shop already owns a domain and actually wants hosting. We recommend a website builder — or GoDaddy’s one-login path — when that is the calmer Saturday.
