In short
Hostinger is traditional shared hosting built for WordPress, PHP, databases and email, typically priced with multi-year prepaid terms and higher renewal rates. StaticHero is static-only hosting: no server, database or CMS to maintain, publishing by drag-and-drop instead of a file manager or FTP, a free plan, monthly or yearly billing, and built-in forms and analytics. Choose Hostinger if you need WordPress, PHP or email hosting; choose StaticHero for HTML, templates, exported and AI-built sites.

Do you actually need a server?
Many small business sites are a handful of pages, a contact form and a map. That doesn’t need PHP or a database. Moving it to static hosting removes the most common causes of hacked websites — outdated CMS plugins — and usually makes it faster.
Can I keep my email at Hostinger and the site on StaticHero?
+
Yes. Only change the A/CNAME record for the website; leave MX records untouched.
Can StaticHero host WordPress?
+
Not as a live WordPress install. You can export a WordPress site to static HTML with a static-export plugin and host that.
Your site could be live in the next minute.
One site free, forever. No credit card, no setup, no servers.
