Bluehost vs Hostinger
Both hosts focus heavily on WordPress and include staging, caching and automatic updates. Hostinger runs everything through its own hPanel and moves to daily backups on its Unlimited tier, while Bluehost ships WordPress pre-installed, includes a CDN, and gates its firewall, malware removal and phone support behind the Business tier.
