are hostinger deals actually good or does the price just look cheap until renewal hits?

Hostinger keeps coming up whenever someone asks for budget hosting and the prices are genuinely hard to argue with, but the question everyone dances around is whether the performance holds up once you're past the promotional period and actually running something that people use.

The renewal rates are the thing that catch people. First year is almost nothing, then it jumps. And shared hosting performance is fine for a small site with light traffic, but there's a ceiling. Is anyone here running actual production sites on their premium or business shared plans? How does uptime and load time hold up month to month, not just during onboarding?
