Hostinger UK - Website Builders

Our Verdict

Hostinger’s website builder is arguably one of the best (and cheapest) on the market. However, you do have to commit for a long term (at least four years) to enjoy that cheap pricing. Another good thing is that Hostinger has many hosting options. So when your website grows and attracts more traffic, you can easily upgrade to a faster and better type of hosting.

The AI tools are quite helpful, especially for someone who may not be well-versed in design or writing. While there are many templates to choose from, make sure to choose wisely, as changing them later can be quite a hassle.

Overall, it’s a worthy tool for creating a no-coding website. It’s best suited for websites with straightforward functionality—promoting a brand, selling stuff, setting appointments, or publishing articles. Don’t expect it to create multifunctional, complex websites. Its ease of use and pricing are its biggest strengths, and that’s what most users look for anyway.

Pros

Among the cheapest in the market
Lots of AI tools
Many template choices
Reliable hosting with great uptime
Impressive image repository

Cons

The template can’t be changed
