Promti or Hostinger’s website builder: one finished page in 3D, or hosting with a builder
Hostinger sells hosting, and with it a website builder, now called Hostinger AI Builder: you describe your site to its AI or start from a template, then edit it by drag and drop. Plans are paid upfront, for up to 48 months, before VAT, and bundle the hosting, a domain free for the first year and email.
Promti sells one thing: a finished one-page site built around a real-time 3D scene, for one kind of business. A wizard fills it with your content, you pay once, and you keep plain files to host where you like — the guide puts them on Cloudflare’s free plan.
The trade-off: Hostinger is a low-cost way to get many pages, a blog, email and a domain in one account, for as long as you renew. Promti is one page in 3D, finished, that you own outright.
Side by side
| — | Promti | Hostinger |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | €500, one payment; nothing ever renews with Promti. | Upfront, before VAT. Premium is €2.59 a month on a 48-month term — €124.32 — and renews at €9.99 a month; 12 months cost €35.88 and renew at the same €9.99. |
| What you get | A finished page around the kit’s 3D scene, filled in with your content, plus the guides to publish and connect it. | Hosting and the builder, with 400-plus templates and AI tools: up to three sites on Premium, a domain free for a year and two mailboxes per site free for a year. |
| Domain and email | A domain from any registrar, around €10–15 a year; a guide forwards mail at that domain to your usual inbox, free, through Cloudflare. | Free for the first year with an annual plan, then the domain renews — a .es at €9.99 a year, a .com at €16.99. Mailboxes renew at €0.59 a month each. |
| Pages and blog | One page, a legal page and a page for broken links. | No limit on pages, sections or elements, and a blog, with AI to help write it. |
| Selling | Buy buttons to your Stripe payment link in Product and App; booking links in Forest and Studio. No shop. | A store now needs Hostinger Ecommerce, a separate subscription: €1 a month for three months, then €7.99. Up to 1,000 products; Hostinger takes no fee per sale, the payment gateway does. |
| Motion and 3D | The whole page is a 3D scene drawn live, which the scroll moves through. | Animations such as fade, slide, scale and blur, hover and loop effects, and an embed-code element that takes an iframe. Its help pages describe no 3D. |
| The files | Handed over from the first download: the complete site in a zip. | Not from the drag-and-drop builder: its content can go to WordPress, without styles, layout, store or forms. The AI agent mode downloads a React project instead. |
| When the plan ends | There’s no plan, so nothing lapses. | The site goes offline as soon as the hosting expires, and its data is deleted if the plan isn’t renewed within 30 days. |
| Languages | English or Spanish, one per site. | Up to four languages per site, translated by you; a store supports one. |
| Changing it later | Reopen the wizard where you made the site, change what you need, download and upload again. | Edit whenever you like; the template, once the site is created, can’t be changed. |
| Before you commit | You see the whole site first; until you download it, you can withdraw within 14 days of paying and get it all back. | A 30-day money-back guarantee on hosting, minus a free domain’s price; a .es isn’t refunded. A trial — 14 days on its builder page, 7 in its help — can’t publish. |
| Help | Written guides in the zip, and Eric on a 30-minute call if you need him. | Chat at any hour, with an AI agent first and then a specialist; no phone. Specialists answer in English, with automatic translation. |
Promti fits when…
- The page has to stand out in real-time 3D, not look like one of 400 templates.
- You’d rather pay one known amount than renewals that rise after the first term.
- You want to keep the site as files: Hostinger’s drag-and-drop builder doesn’t export code.
- One page with one clear action is all your business needs online.
- You want to see your finished site, with your own words, before paying for it.
Hostinger fits when…
- The lowest cost to start: €124.32 before VAT covers four years of hosting, builder and a first-year domain.
- You want hosting, a domain and mailboxes in one account, on one bill.
- You need many pages, a blog, or a shop with up to 1,000 products.
- The site has to be in up to four languages.
- You want to rearrange the layout yourself, by drag and drop, whenever you like.
What each costs
Promti: €500, one time. Hosting on Cloudflare’s free plan costs nothing; the domain is the only yearly cost, at roughly €10–15, which makes €500 plus about €30–45 over three years.
Hostinger Premium, before VAT: €124.32 upfront covers 48 months, after which it renews at €9.99 a month. On a 12-month term it’s €35.88 the first year and €119.88 a year at that renewal rate: €275.64 over three years. The free domain renews after its first year (a .es at €9.99, a .com at €16.99), mailboxes at €0.59 a month each, and a store adds Hostinger Ecommerce at €7.99 a month.
On price, Hostinger starts far below a kit, and stays below it for years. The kit costs more because the page arrives designed and built, in 3D; with Hostinger, building the site is your job, and so is renewing it.
Questions
- Can I export my Hostinger website?
- From the drag-and-drop builder, only the content, to WordPress: Hostinger’s help lists styles, layout, the store, integrations, forms and SEO settings among what doesn’t export. Its AI agent mode can download a React project; switching to it creates a new site, and sites with a store can’t switch. With Promti, the first download already is the site, as ordinary files.
- Does Hostinger’s builder do 3D?
- Its help describes animations — fade, slide, scale, blur, rise — and an embed-code element that accepts an iframe, but no 3D of its own, and its agent mode says it can’t create 3D games. A 3D scene would have to be made elsewhere and embedded. In a Promti kit the 3D scene is where the page starts.
- What happens when a Hostinger plan renews?
- It renews at the regular rate, not the introductory one: Premium, €2.59 a month on a 48-month term, renews at €9.99 a month, before VAT, and each term is paid upfront. Its terms say the renewal can run for the same period or a shorter one. With Promti there’s nothing to renew; your domain is the only yearly cost.
- Can I try Hostinger for free?
- There’s a free trial of the builder — 14 days on its Spanish page, 7 in its help centre — during which sites can’t be published, and a 30-day money-back guarantee on hosting. With Promti, the whole site is built in the wizard for free, and even after paying you can withdraw until you download it.
- Which one works for a site in two languages?
- Hostinger: its builder takes up to four languages per site, with the translation done by you (a store stays in one). With Promti you get one language per site — English or Spanish — decided in the wizard.
