A restaurant-specific site without the renewal trap
Hostinger's intro price is very cheap — around NZ$5/month (converted from USD) — but that's an upfront long-term deal that renews closer to NZ$18/month, and you still build a generic site yourself with no menu parsing. Dinehere is NZ$64/month (or NZ$640/year — 2 months free), purpose-built for restaurants with no intro-then-renewal jump: your menu AI-parsed from a photo, a mobile-ready site live in about 10 minutes, hosting included, cancel anytime. Hostinger wins on the first-term sticker price; Dinehere gives you a restaurant-specific site that builds itself and a price that doesn't surprise you later.

Common questions
Hostinger often advertises rates around NZ$5/month, but this requires a multi-year upfront commitment and renews at a much higher rate later. Dinehere offers a transparent, predictable flat rate of NZ$64/month or NZ$640/year (2 months free), with no hidden renewal hikes.
Not at all. Hostinger gives you a blank canvas or generic template to design yourself. Dinehere automatically generates a professional, restaurant-optimized layout based on your details and menu photos.
It is incredibly fast. Instead of manually typing and formatting text boxes like you would on Hostinger, just upload photos of your physical menu to Dinehere. Our system parses the text and builds your digital menu automatically.
Both platforms offer solid foundational SEO. However, Dinehere structures your site specifically for local restaurant searches, ensuring your hours, location, and menu are immediately readable by Google without manual configuration.
Yes, if you purchased a custom domain through Hostinger or another provider, you can easily point it to your new Dinehere site. If you prefer to keep things simple, Dinehere also provides a custom subdomain out of the box.
No. Dinehere focuses strictly on providing a simple, beautiful informational site with your menu and contact details. If you need robust e-commerce features for merchandise, Hostinger is a better fit.
Hostinger is much better suited for complex, multi-page websites and blogging. Dinehere is deliberately a single-page website builder designed to give diners the essential information instantly without digging through menus.
Switching takes about 10 minutes. Because you don't have to design the site or format the menu manually, you simply create an account, upload your menu photos, and your new site is ready to go.
Dinehere requires absolutely no technical skills, updating your menu is as easy as taking a new picture. Hostinger's builder, while user-friendly, still requires basic web design knowledge to keep the layout looking good on mobile devices.
