Blinx and Hostinger, row by row

Every answer is in words, and the same answer looks the same on both sides. Blinx's plan limits sit in its own cells.

**Checked on 10 November 2026. Blinx's prices are before VAT. Each Hostinger price carries the tax basis its own page gives, or says it gives none, so the two may not be on the same basis.** How we chose these rows: 9 are the same on every comparison (price, the $0 plan, trial and card, one page or several, own domain, and what happens if you stop paying). The other 5 are rows for website builders: features Hostinger's own pages list, and features Blinx has, each answered for both: "No, checked" where a product has nothing like it, "Not published" where Hostinger's pages do not mention it.
