Hostinger sells hosting. Their website builder exists to sell more hosting. At $2.99/month, the website builder is practically free — and you get what you pay for. Like GoDaddy's builder, it proves you exist online. It does not help you grow.
TL;DR
Hostinger's website builder costs $2.99/month. A growth engine costs more but produces revenue. Get found. Get leads. Get booked. Get retained.
Cheap Website ≠ Effective Marketing
| Factor | Hostinger | Webevo Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $2.99/mo | Growth-tier pricing |
| Design | Basic templates | Enterprise-grade |
| SEO | Minimal | AI-powered 9-module |
| CRM, voice AI, ads | ❌ | ✅ |
The Hidden Cost of DIY Websites: Service businesses that use template website builders spend an average of 120 hours in the first year on design, content, and plugin maintenance. At a $75/hour opportunity cost, that is $9,000 in hidden labor — often exceeding the cost of an AI-native platform that handles everything automatically. The Webevo platform eliminates DIY overhead while delivering superior SEO, voice AI, reputation management, and CRM in one system.
The Deeper Issue
Website builders provide a starting point, but they require constant maintenance — plugin updates, security patches, design adjustments, and content management. Each task takes time away from running your business. An AI-native growth platform handles all technical infrastructure while also providing the marketing and acquisition tools that website builders fundamentally lack. The gap is not just in website quality — it is in the complete absence of growth infrastructure like voice AI, automated reputation management, and intelligent CRM follow-up.

Hosting vs Growth Infrastructure
Website hosting provides server space and uptime. Hostinger excels at affordable, reliable hosting — a necessary utility for any online presence. But hosting is infrastructure, not growth. It is the electricity that powers the building, not the business inside the building.
Service businesses need more than a hosted website. They need SEO that drives traffic to that website, voice AI that answers the calls the website generates, reputation management that builds the trust that precedes the visit, and CRM that follows up with every lead. The Webevo platform provides the complete growth infrastructure — from hosting to acquisition to retention — in one integrated system.
The distinction matters because hosting companies position themselves as website solutions when they are actually server solutions. A perfectly hosted website with zero traffic generates zero revenue. Growth requires marketing infrastructure that hosting platforms fundamentally do not provide.
