Which one is better?

The battle for the title of "Best Beginner Hosting".

Go with Hostinger if: You want the best price-to-performance ratio. Hostinger runs on LiteSpeed Web Servers, making it significantly faster than Bluehost in almost every benchmark. Plus, its interface (hPanel) is more modern, and the renewal prices are far more affordable. It is the clear winner for value.

Go with Bluehost if: You prefer the "standard" way. Bluehost uses the traditional cPanel layout, which many old-school users prefer. It is also one of the few hosts officially recommended by WordPress.org. If you need phone support (US-based) rather than just chat, Bluehost is the better pick.
