Actually managed hosting
Hostinger's entry WordPress plans share resources with many other websites. We limit how many sites share each server, so a busy neighbor is less likely to slow yours down.

Looking at Hostinger? Managed hosting, not shared hosting in disguise.
Hostinger's cheap intro prices win the click, but entry plans can slow down on crowded servers and renewals jump hard. WP Tango gives every site more breathing room, backups every 4 hours and real US engineers.
In short
WP Tango is a managed WordPress hosting alternative to Hostinger. Plans start at $8/month on 12-month billing, with the renewal price matching the signup price for that term, and every plan includes LiteSpeed Enterprise, Redis object caching, unlimited PHP workers, unmetered visitors, staging, SSH and WP-CLI, backups every 4 hours kept 30 days, and free engineer-led migration from Hostinger, with US engineers in Phoenix, Arizona.

The Hostinger alternative
The reasons people leave Hostinger for us.
Most of it comes down to honest pricing, real speed, and not having to pay extra for the basics.
The signup price is the renewal price
Hostinger's $2.99/month needs four years paid up front, then renews at $10.99/month or more. Our price never changes. What you sign up at is what you keep paying, year after year.
Backups every 4 hours, kept for 30 days
Hostinger runs daily backups (weekly on the cheapest plans). We snapshot every 4 hours and keep them for 30 days, restorable in one click.
Faster server response, by a lot
Top-tier AMD Ryzen 9950X / Intel 14900K CPUs with LiteSpeed and Redis pre-tuned. Hostinger's 2025 full-year average TTFB was 483 ms across 19 US Pingdom locations (hostingstep.com). Our own TTFB on wptango.com sits around 124 ms - roughly a quarter of that.
Engineers do the migration for you
Hostinger gives you an automated migrator that often needs hand-holding. We assign an engineer who moves your site, tests it on staging, and coordinates the DNS cutover with you.
Real humans on support
Our US-based engineers handle support tickets directly. No tier-1 script loops before you reach someone who can actually fix the problem.
