Scores are my own editorial ratings from testing both carts and dashboards, out of 10. They are not customer reviews. Our overall rating is calculated from four assessed categories: price, renewal pricing, ease of use and features. We have not independently tested customer support response times or resolution quality, so support is excluded from the score.
The overall score is the plain average of the four tested ratings.

Watch me compare them
Price: FastComet wins the first year
FastComet Starter is $1.99 a month, but only on the 1-year term: $23.88 today for one website. Hostinger Unlimited is $2.79 a month on 48 months during Black Friday, and coupon LEARN2EARN takes it to about $2.51, about $121 paid upfront for four years.
Same 4 years, side by side
At FastComet longer terms cost more per month: Starter is $4.49 on 2 years and $3.29 on 3 years. The cheapest way to cover four years is 3 years at $3.29 ($118.44) plus one renewal year at $119.40, about $238. Hostinger covers the same four years for about $121, with unlimited websites. For unlimited websites at FastComet you need Plus, about $442 over four years.
The domain
Hostinger includes a free domain for the first year. At FastComet a new .com was $23.99 a year, every year, so add it to every FastComet total if you need a new domain.
Where FastComet is better
cPanel, six server locations, a monthly option and a clean checkout with nothing pre-checked. If you want cPanel for one site and only want to pay for one year now, FastComet is a fair choice.
Who should NOT buy each
Skip Hostinger if you need cPanel or do not want to pay for several years upfront. Skip FastComet if you plan to keep the site for more than a year or two, need more than one website on a budget, or expect a free domain.
