LotsBusiness vs Hostinger Website Builder

If you want a website plus everything that gets a local business found and looking professional, LotsBusiness includes business email with unlimited mailboxes for as long as you pay, the Google Business Profile steps and the listing details, billed monthly or yearly per business. If you want the lowest upfront price, an online store and many sites on one plan, Hostinger Website Builder fits.

Every Hostinger fact below comes from Hostinger's own website builder page, pricing page and help center, checked on 21 October 2026. I quote Hostinger's list and renewal prices only. Its page also shows a sale price for the first term, which changes often, so I leave it out. Prices are US dollars before tax.

LotsBusiness vs Hostinger Website Builder at a glance

Checked on 21 October 2026 on hostinger.com/website-builder, hostinger.com/pricing, Hostinger's help article Parameters and limits of Hostinger Mail and lots.business/pricing. "Not listed" means I didn't find it on Hostinger's own pages that day, not that it can't be done.

Where LotsBusiness is the better choice

Business email stays included, with every mailbox you need

A customer trusts info@yourbusiness.com more than a free address. In LotsBusiness, email is part of every paid business: once the business's own domain is connected, you create as many mailboxes as the team needs, info@, bookings@ and one for each person, and they stay included for as long as the business is paid. There is no per-mailbox bill in year two. I covered the setup steps in How to Get a Business Email at Your Own Domain.

Hostinger includes mailboxes free for the first year: 2 per website on Premium, unlimited per website on Unlimited and Cloud Startup. Its help center describes the free email that comes with hosting plans as a 1-year trial with 1 GB of storage per mailbox, and says you upgrade to a paid Business Email plan to lift the trial limits. On Hostinger's business email page, those plans are priced per mailbox: $2.99, $3.99 and $5.99 a month list price, renewing at $1.59, $2.79 and $3.99 on a 48-month term. So a team of three pays three times.

I compared how every major builder handles this in website builders that include business email.

Monthly or yearly, with no four-year prepay

Hostinger's plans are paid upfront, and the plan cards on its builder page show a 48-month term. That's how its low monthly figure is reached, and it is genuinely the lowest upfront price per month here. After the term, the plans renew at $10.99 (Premium), $16.99 (Unlimited) and $25.99 (Cloud Startup) a month.

LotsBusiness is billed per business, monthly or yearly:

• Starter: 1 business, $19 monthly or $120 a year ($10 a month).
• Pro: 5 businesses, $59 monthly or $390 a year ($6.50 per business a month).
• Business: 25 businesses, $199 monthly or $1,290 a year ($4.30 per business a month).

Pay as you go is $20 per business a month from LotsTech Credits, charged daily, and extra businesses beyond a plan are at your plan's rate. At renewal, a single site on Hostinger Premium is $10.99 a month before you add email; on LotsBusiness Starter, $10 a month billed yearly covers the website, the Google profile steps and email together. Full details on the pricing page and in LotsBusiness pricing explained.

Getting found, not just a website

A website is one piece. Customers also find a local business on Google Maps and in directories, and they need the same name, phone and hours everywhere. LotsBusiness covers those pieces in the same subscription:

• Google Business Profile. Create the profile step by step and follow Google's own verification, or link one you already have. Then post offers, events and updates to it. Google decides verification and ranking, so nobody can honestly promise a position. The Google Maps guide has Google's own steps.
• Directories that matter. LotsBusiness shows which directories fit the business's trade, gives you the exact details to enter, worded the same way every time, and tracks your progress. You submit them yourself. For Apple Maps, I covered the steps in How to Add Your Business to Apple Maps.
• Every page readable by Google and AI assistants. Services, hours, area and contact details are on every page in the format they read, with the sitemap and llms.txt added automatically. More in how to get your business found in AI answers.
• Update once. Change the hours or phone number once, and the website and the business's free LotsBusiness listing show it straight away.

Hostinger's builder page says content is optimized for Google Search and AI search, and it lets you connect Google Analytics, Google Ads and Meta Pixel. Google Business Profile tools and directory listings aren't listed on its builder page.

Built for agencies with local clients

If you build sites for clients, LotsBusiness gives you one workspace for every client and your team, with unlimited team members and admin, manager and viewer roles. A client gets access to their own business only. You send an approval link that opens the draft site with no account, and the client approves or asks for changes. When the client should own it, a hand-over moves the business, its website and its domain to the client's own account and plan. On the 25-business plan, that's $4.30 per client a month, and you bill your clients whatever you like. See how agencies get sign-off and hand over and the agencies page.

You keep the domain and the files

LotsBusiness doesn't sell domains, so your domain stays where you bought it. Connect it with one DNS record. Download the site as files at any time, roll back to any earlier version, and if a plan lapses nothing is deleted: the website stays online, and editing, publishing, Google posts and email setup pause until you add a plan or credits. Every business starts with a free listing, and the listing always stays.

Where Hostinger fits

Hostinger's builder does a lot for the price, and some of it LotsBusiness doesn't do at all:

• Lowest upfront price. If you're happy to prepay four years, Hostinger's first term costs less per month than any LotsBusiness plan.
• Many sites on one plan. Premium covers up to 3 websites, and Unlimited and Cloud Startup cover unlimited websites.
• An online store. Ecommerce is available on Unlimited and Cloud Startup, plus email marketing with Reach.
• Design range. 400+ website templates with a drag-and-drop editor and an AI builder.
• Support around the clock. 24/7 support on every plan, with priority expert support on Unlimited and Cloud Startup, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
• A free domain for year one with the plan.
• Agency hosting for WordPress. Separate from the builder, Hostinger sells Agency hosting plans with an unbranded client dashboard and access sharing per site.

If you need a shop, lots of sites on one bill, or the lowest upfront cost, Hostinger is a sound choice.

Which one should you choose?

• Choose LotsBusiness if you run a local business or the online presence of local clients, want email at your own domain included past year one with unlimited mailboxes, want help with the Google Business Profile and directories, and prefer to pay monthly or yearly.
• Choose Hostinger Website Builder if the lowest upfront price matters most, you need an online store or many websites on one plan, and you're comfortable paying for the full term upfront.

How to move a business from Hostinger to LotsBusiness

1. Add the business for free. Create its free listing, or let LotsBusiness read the current website and fill in the name, phone, hours and description from it. You confirm each value.
2. Build the new site. Start from the ready-made design for the trade. Name, services, hours and photos fill in. Change texts, colours and pages without code, and preview.
3. Get sign-off. For a client, send an approval link and wait for their yes.
4. Point the domain. Keep the domain where it's registered and add the one DNS record LotsBusiness shows you. When it shows as active, the site is live on your domain.
5. Set up email. Switch on business email, add the records shown, then create your mailboxes. Keep your Hostinger mailboxes until you've saved any old mail you need, then move the mail records last.
6. Add the Google profile. Link the profile you already have, or create one step by step.

Or ask your AI assistant

Everything above works in the dashboard. LotsBusiness also works with the AI agent you already use, so if you work in ChatGPT or Claude, connect it once (setup) and ask in plain words:

Read example.com and add Example Bakery as a business from what it says. Start a website from the design that fits a bakery and send me the preview. Then show me the DNS record to connect example.com, and the record I need to switch on business email.

The assistant previews everything, and nothing goes live until you approve.

Common questions

Is LotsBusiness a Hostinger alternative?

Yes. Both give a business a website with hosting and HTTPS on its own domain. LotsBusiness adds business email with unlimited mailboxes for as long as you pay, Google Business Profile steps, directory guidance and agency hand-over, from $10 a month billed yearly or $19 monthly. Hostinger adds an online store, many sites per plan and 400+ templates.

How much does Hostinger Website Builder cost after the first term?

Checked on 21 October 2026: Premium renews at $10.99 a month, Unlimited at $16.99 and Cloud Startup at $25.99. All plans are paid upfront for the term, and the plan cards show a 48-month term with list prices of $12.19, $18.99 and $27.99 a month.

Does Hostinger Website Builder include business email?

For the first year. Premium includes 2 mailboxes per website and Unlimited includes unlimited mailboxes per website, free for 1 year. Hostinger's help center calls the free email with hosting plans a 1-year trial, which you upgrade to a paid Business Email plan priced per mailbox. LotsBusiness includes unlimited mailboxes with every paid business, with no first-year limit.

Is LotsBusiness cheaper than Hostinger?

Not on the first term: if you prepay Hostinger for four years, its upfront price per month is lower. At renewal, Hostinger Premium is $10.99 a month for the site before email, while LotsBusiness Starter is $10 a month billed yearly with email, the Google profile steps and the listing details included.

Can I keep my domain if I move from Hostinger?

Yes. LotsBusiness doesn't sell domains, so the domain can stay registered where it is. You add one DNS record to point the website at LotsBusiness, and a few more for email when you switch it on.

Will either one get my business to the top of Google?

No one can honestly promise that. LotsBusiness helps you get the business on Google Search and Maps with a Google Business Profile and a site Google can read. Google decides verification and ranking.
