What changed
Hostinger has significantly reduced its pricing for WordPress hosting, enabling the launch and management of multiple sites at a fraction of previous costs.
Why we think this could happen
In the coming year, current trends suggest that more established hosting companies will reevaluate their pricing structures, potentially resulting in a price war that could benefit end consumers but pressure profit margins.
