Which one should I choose, Hostinger or Bluehost?
Hostinger, if the size of the first discount decides it: 83% against 64%. Compare the websites and storage in the table above with what your site needs before you choose on discount alone. The guide on how to choose web hosting lists the points to check.
Which Bluehost period had the biggest discount?
The 12-month period: 64% off the Starter plan. The 48-month period of the same plan had 60% off. The shortest period we list had the biggest first discount, so paying for more years did not raise the percentage.
