The first web hosting I actually really enjoyed using

4.0 last year

Comments: I've been building websites for decades and I must say, Hostinger was definitely the best experience I have had since I first toyed with HTML editors in the late-90s. Integration with other services is easy and straightforward, and its own web editor has allowed me to setup quick websites when timing was critical. I would definitely recommend it for mid-level experienced web designers who are looking for a web-based solution.

Pros:

In a world of AWS, GoDaddy, Bluehost and others... Hostinger stands as a one-stop hosting hub with a friendly interface that gets you working in no time, no matter your level of experience. It is efficient and quick getting a fully working website in a matter of hours.

Cons:

Sometimes switching from the web editor to management console can be a little bit confusing, but after a while you get used to it. Also I was a bit sceptic about Hostinger being an oversea company but latency has not been bad so far.

Do Not Use Hostinger To Build Your Website

2.0 2 years ago

Comments: One of the emails sent to Hostinger regarding their poorly built website: Customers expect Hostinger to set up their checkout taxes in the same way as most businesses set up their taxes along with the total (Shopify, Wix, Tailorbrands). When the customer gets to the checkout point, no taxes are added to their purchase. Instead, it states the taxes are included in the product price- which they are not.Customers also expect more online payment platforms to be integrated into the website builder in case the one provided is not a good option for their business to use as a payment processor. Hostinger only offers Stripe. Stripe does not allow certain products to be sold through its platform.None of the information regarding Hostinger taxes, single payment processors, or the nonexistent unpublish feature was disclosed during the workshop or site tutorial. It was impossible for me to examine the Hostinger site without first paying to access the site builder. The information I now know would have led me to decide that Hostinger would not be the best option for me if I had known it beforehand.My site cannot be used without a properly configured checkout, which is a big inconvenience for customers.

Pros:

Hostinger has been easy to work with when it comes to designing the website.

Cons:

When it comes to managing the website once it is published, it has been a terrible experience.

Outperformed my expectations of being a limited but simple drag-and-drop designer

4.0 2 months ago

Comments: Overall I was surprised how well it performed in terms of background capabilities. The drag-and-drop is mostly easily usable.

Pros:

Surprisingly powerful considering its low cost and drag-and-drop approach. Offers hostinf and domain registration.

Cons:

Still some limitations to customization and admin panel. Minor tecnhicality - when using the drag-and-drop designer on a smaller (laptop) screen, then the page is so small that it is difficult to move sections around.

Lightning fast loading times and super easy dashboard to access!

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Love Hostinger! Wouldn't replace it for a thing. They care about me so I care back. They've given me great offers so far and I've created some very fast websites with them, so can't complain,

Pros:

Everybody gets Hostinger because of how fast their loading times are. I love love love how easy it is to get your way around the dashboard. I love that buttons are easy to access and that you can get started with web hosting even as a beginner who knows little to nothing about code or about web hosting. The buttons are a beautiful purple and are very aesthetically pleasing. The dashboard just makes you want to stay for long. It is super easy to sign in because they use a one-click Google account sign-in which is very easy to understand. Their chat and support make everything easy to access and easy to understand. They very quickly solve client problems which makes them very loveable.

Cons:

You, unfortunately, cannot pay for a service before it expires. You must wait till it expires. This sometimes limits my planning. For people who code, there are not enough tutorials on how to upload your HTML, CSS, and Javascript website using File Manager.

Affordable Cloud Hosting Provider

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Overall hostinger is best hosting provider an affordbale price and i love it.

Pros:

One of the best things that hostinger did now is they added an Asia Pacific server, now our website is accessible faster in India. Moreover, hostinger improved the dashboard to check server usage that give a comprehensive insight of our server condition. And last but not least it is an affordable hosting provider.

Cons:

First things, their support time is now increasing day by day i remember in 2019 they were using live chat option but now you've to wait for a long queue and they will revert over email. I request them to roll out the previous live support feature.

Hostinger Response

3 years ago

Dear Junaid, Thank you for sharing your insights with us. As a customer-obsessed company, we are always looking for ways to improve our products and services - and your opinion is essential to this process. The Asia-Pacific server was a highly requested addition, and we are happy to see that it improved your website speed and made a positive difference in your online business. We also know how important it is to visualize all the metrics and information about your hosting performance, so creating a way to offer this information to our clients is very important to us. The ticket mode was created to avoid a long waiting time; when the support line is too big compared to the number of specialists available, the customers may send an email and it will be received the same way the live chat would. However, we thank you for bringing this point to our attention! We are proud of this partnership, and you can always count on us to support your online success! Best wishes, Team Hostinger

Quality and Economical hosting services

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: Quality servers, suitable for small and medium scale applications. Good value for money services.

Pros:

The services provides by Hostinger are quite economical. Good plans available for shared hosting as well as cloud hosting. The control panel offered is user friendly, which makes it easier for website deployment. Performance of the websites with reasonable traffic was satisfactory.

Cons:

The thing which is missing in Hostinger is cPanel, which is the most widely used control panel software. And regular users might feel it difficult to adopt to the custom hosting panel offered by Hostinger. However, few of their plans do offer cPanel as an option, so better check the detailed features before you place an order.

Hostinger Response

3 years ago

Dear Vishal, thank you for leaving us your review! We appreciate the praise for our services. Our team is doing its utmost to ensure that we deliver the perfect hosting experience for you. At Hostinger, we are proud to be offering our customers our control panel, known as hPanel. We have crafted it for intuitive use while ensuring that all advanced features are also present - this is the control panel that powers all of our Shared, WordPress, and Cloud plans. However, we understand that some customers may be more accustomed to cPanel, and we do offer it as well yet as a separate hosting package; thus, we want our customers to select the ideal control panel for their needs! If you'd be interested in migrating from one control panel to another, we encourage you to contact our Customer Success Team, as our specialists would eagerly help you out. We wish you the utmost with your online projects, and let us stay in touch to reach that success together!

Great Switch from GoDaddy

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Hostinger has been great for my business. I've been able to consolidate all of my sites in one place for one low price and I recommend it to all of my web development clients. The features, packages and price are much better than my previous provider.

Pros:

I switched from being a GoDaddy customer for 15 years and I have been super surprised at the hosting options and services I've received. The features and cost are a bargain! I have transferred 3 Wordpress websites under my hosting package (each with an affordable SSL cert which are EXTREMELY expensive with other providers) and I have had no problems with downtime. It's extremely easy to choose, setup and manage your website hosting/email accounts, etc. I would absolutely recommend!

Cons:

I haven't found anything yet that's a problem with my hosting software. Anything I've had an issue with I've been able to contact support online and get a resolution to my questions immediately. No complaints.

Great Inexpensive Hosting and Domains

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: The best part is the price. Sometimes clients can't afford a whole lot and a lot of times cheap hosting means slow and unreliable service. With Hostinger, you get a really decent product for the price. I host my own site on Hostinger and haven't had any downtime issues. If any issues do arise, support responds fairly quickly through their email/chat function. Overall I'm pleased with the service and have recommended Hostinger to several clients.

Pros:

They offer a great hosting plan at a very affordable price compared to most hosting companies out there today. Their domains are also very reasonably priced. It's hard to beat their prices and for the most part their hosting service seems reliable.

Cons:

The support isn't always immediate, but they do always respond and within a reasonable amount of time. The interface (hPanel) can take a little getting used to, but once you figure it out it's fairly easy to navigate.

Pros:

What I like most about Hostinger is, they have a 30 days money back guarantee which other website hosting companies lack. They have multi lingual customer support with free domain and website builder. Hostinger has unlimited features with premium and basic plan. It also have a fast loading time of 382 ms which impacts my website user experience.

Cons:

They have inconsistent uptime of 99.74% and no traditional Cpanel

Affordable Hosting Provider

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

I am using Hostiger since 2019. This is the best hosting provider and the best part of hostinger is it provides at a very affordable price. Also in 2022 they enhance their hpanel and provide in-depth analysis of server usages like Process, I/O, memory, and others.

Cons:

The only problem with hostinger is uptime, every month uptime of hostinger is around 98% also they took monthly maintenance and send notice only just before 24hrs. This results in loss of traffic on the website. I can think they must provide notice at least 3 days before maintenance,

High Value Hosting

Comments: I am able to provide a secured site with excellent load times at all times of the day, and have enough space to grow our site.
I am happy with our service!

Pros:

The setup was easy, and the price was very competitive. The speed of the response time when loading the site is what makes me confident I'll be renewing with Hostinger regularly.

Cons:

I did learn after the fact that certificates became a nearly required feature in browsers in May of 2021, and a heads up would have been nice from the host. However,. Hostinger provided a simple and quick solution to put a certificate on the site in a few clicks. I had this working with no more warnings to mobile users in less than 10 minutes.
