Hostinger is great, inexpensive hosting with a template builder attached — you do the rest. DesignSnipe is a studio: our team designs, writes and builds a custom site for your business, and can manage it after launch.

Hostinger's builder starts around $3–$12 a month (renewing higher), and you design, write and maintain the site yourself. A DesignSnipe build is a bigger one-time investment because a team does that work. On a tight budget? Pair a template from our shop with your existing hosting.
One-time build prices. Hosting, SEO and updates are optional, bundled in one Website Care plan at $500/mo, or host it yourself. Rather do it yourself? Templates are $50–$100 one-time.
Hostinger is genuinely inexpensive, and if you're comfortable designing and writing your own site, it's hard to beat on price. DesignSnipe costs more because a team designs, writes and builds a custom site for you. You're paying for the work, not the hosting.
Often, yes. We can deploy to hosting you already have, or you can move to our managed hosting on Website Care. We'll talk through it on the scoping call.
Hostinger's intro prices typically renew higher — check your plan's renewal terms. Our build is a one-time price; Website Care is one flat monthly price and entirely optional.
Yes. Our template shop has ready-made designs for $50–$100 one-time. You can even host a template on Hostinger — it's DIY, but you start from a much stronger design.
Every build includes on-page SEO foundations. For ongoing SEO — new pages, local citations, rank tracking — see Website Care, $500/mo.
