Hostinger matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around keeping hosted WordPress sites healthy across caching, updates, backups, and support handoffs, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Hosting-specific WordPress issues are hard for owners and agencies to separate from plugin, cache, or configuration problems. The entry wedge is to turn hosting, cache, update, and support symptoms into a clear site-health checklist and fix-ready report.
Commercial opportunities need traceable source links before they are treated as build-worthy.
