miow, a Hostinger alternative for small businesses
miow builds and hosts small-business websites, and moves a Hostinger site's pages across.
What is a good alternative to Hostinger?
miow is one, for a business that wants its website written from a description in its own words, or moved across from the site it has now, and then changed in a sentence, with no plan to pay upfront. Hostinger's builder, now Hostinger AI Builder, also writes a site with AI.
How is miow different from Hostinger?
Hostinger's figures are from its website builder page and help centre in October 2026, in US dollars.
| miow | Hostinger | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Building costs nothing, and so does hosting unless miow sets a monthly price for the site, shown under Money in its Settings before anything is taken | No free plan; Premium US$2.99 to Cloud Startup US$7.99 a month for 48 months paid upfront, renewing at US$10.99 to US$25.99 a month |
| Selling | On any site, into its own Stripe account; miow takes nothing from a sale | From the Unlimited plan, with no fee from Hostinger |
| Your own domain | On any site, with a domain you already own | On every plan, with a domain free for the first year |
| Signing in | A passkey your phone keeps; no password and no email sign-in | A Hostinger account |
| Leaving | One zip of the site as data, every page as markdown, and every picture | Content exports to WordPress without its styles, layout, shop or forms; a site built in agentic mode exports as code without its backend data |
Can I move my Hostinger site to miow?
Yes, if the site publishes a list of its pages at its address followed by /sitemap.xml; Hostinger makes one for every site. Give miow the address, and up to 40 of its pages come across at the same addresses, each laid out by a model under a rule to keep every word, with its pictures copied into miow's own storage.
Forms, newsletter sign-ups and anything that runs as a script stay behind; where a form was the way to get in touch, the page keeps the email address or phone number it gives. Links to the old site keep working once its domain points at miow.
What does miow leave out?
miow takes no bookings, sends no newsletters and sells no domains. Each product is one item at one price, marked sold once it is paid for, which suits one-off pieces more than stock in sizes and colours.
A business that relies on bookings or a newsletter keeps that service where it is and links to it from its miow site.
