Blogs and content sites have a different profile than ecommerce: lower memory requirements, higher SEO sensitivity, more uptime importance. The host that's right for an ecommerce store ($35/mo Kinsta with object caching) is often overkill for a personal blog. The host that's right for a beginner blog (Bluehost Basic) is often inadequate once the blog hits 50K+ monthly visits. The sweet spot for serious blogs is the $10-30/month tier: Hostinger Business or SiteGround GrowBig give you enough resources for meaningful traffic without paying for ecommerce-grade infrastructure you don't need. The LiteSpeed Cache integration on Hostinger is particularly valuable for blogs — it produces consistently faster Lighthouse scores than equivalent Apache/Nginx setups.
