About Hostinger
Easy to use, fast and reliable web hosting services for everyone who wants to start their online journey.
I enjoy the constant upkeep and adaptive innovations of hostinger. The dashboard is very easy to use.
Hostinger don't accept monthly payments compared to other hosting companies. Users will be forced to pay yearly payments which sounds more expensive.

Hostinger is more than a wordpress websites hosting
Comments: Hostinger definitely makes it easy to work as a WordPress developer, especially when it comes to multiple websites. After trying several hosting providers, I can say that they are the most successful I have found. It's worth a try.
Pros:
Hostinger provides website hosting with an advanced website management interface that includes everything you need include buying a domain, quick WordPress website setup, and email inbox for your website. The interface provides very easy control over multiple websites, and what I really liked is that there is the option to disable WordPress plugins directly from the Hostinger interface in a user-friendly way, its really important thing when some plugin is breaking your site and you can't enter your site dashbord. I was also impressed that the login is with a Google account, which provides convenience and a reliable level of security. In case of a problem, there is 24/7 support from chat representatives who are always happy to help. In conclusion, at Hostinger I found a satisfactory solution for managing multiple WordPress websites in one place.
Cons:
The only downside I can mention is that when I tried to transfer an existing site from another hosting provider, it wasn't very easy for me. I couldn't transfer it smoothly as-is and I had to make a lot of adjustments. However, some of the sites were transferred more smoothly. It depends on which hosting provider the site comes from, so it's not entirely Hostinger's fault.

Will Never Use Hostinger Web Hosting Again
Comments: Our non-profit's sole public face is through our website and opt-in newsletters. Our organization's leadership team is all volunteers and spread around the United States, so our website is also a repository for our documents and literature. Our website is the largest expense and critical to successful non-profit operations. Our opt-in email newsletter is the most significant means of communications with our members, sent out once or twice each month. For the first several months Hostinger provided good service, with exception of email. Email was an issue from the start and took several weeks and multiple tech support chats to get working correctly. Then, twice in two months our newsletter run was blocked during runs. After the second interruption, tech support had me reconfigure email services to prevent future interruptions. Then, our email account was suspended for a claimed terms of service violation. Based on Hostinger's published email support, we were well within their service limits. Tech support flatly refused to life the suspension unless we contracted with a third-party email marketing service for future email newsletters. We specifically told either MailChimp or Sendmail were the only two acceptable services. These services were a stretch for our organization and a gross overkill for the level of email "marketing" we currently conducted. This has put us in the position of looking for a new hosting service. I can not recommend Hostinger as a hosting service
Pros:
Overall reliable hosting, good speed and storage for the price.
Cons:
Technical support was often slow, and it sometimes took several tries before my issue was resolved. But in comparison with previous hosting services, Hostinger tech support was an improvement.

An affordable but powerful provider
Comments: My experience is absolutely positive, the services work well, both as traditional hosting and as cloud and vps.
Pros:
Hostinger has multiple plans available and all of them offer plenty of tools to manage your sites.

You have to make multi-year plan in order to get the discount

Great option for small or simple projects.
Comments: We switched to Hostinger after a very bad interaction with a competitor's customer service, the experience has been great so far. It's everything we expected and wanted plus a few extras.
Pros:
Their customer support is great, documentation is very good, the service they provide is very good too and their menus and overall website management tools are great.
Cons:
Sometimes it might feel like they hold your hand more than is necessary when setting up things, but this can be a very good thing for users who are not very technically inclined.

It totally blew me away from a marketing point
Comments: It's great, you can even do Costum DKIM's within' Hostinger for each Domain, thats extremely valuable
Pros:
100 free Emails for each of my domains without additional cost
Cons:
We had a bit of struggle, I used the Business Starter Email Package together with several of my Domains. When I canceled it and wanted to change to the 'included free emails' within my hosting plan, the software didnt let me. i'm grateful that the support was able to solve this issue

Reliable and good but expensive
Pros:
Hostinger always has some good deals, especially for new users. The service is reliable and the features offered as part of their plans are decent.
Cons:
Their WordPress plans aren't the most affordable for existing users as new users get the best deals.
Alternatives Considered:
Great Inexpensive Hosting and Domains
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.

Cheapest hosting provider
Comments: price wise i liked it with over alll satisfaction but it needs a little technical knowledge
Pros:
it’s very cheap as compared to other providers and reliable. rather than going to go daddy first you can always come to hostinger and save a lot money increased by godaddy who increases it dynamically. you can transfer you domain easily from other vendors. free SSL is something i liked because this will save money and time for no so techie ppl
Cons:
UI and controls are not really friendly and smooth. documentations are not easy enough to understand. enable feature like one click or make it wizard like deployment will help. some tutorial video will also help.

Affordable Hosting Provider for WordPress
Comments: Hostinger is a great web hosting provider for WordPress sites. I have been using them for over a year now and have never had any issues. Their customer service is excellent and they are always quick to help out if there are any problems. The price is also very affordable, especially compared to other providers. Overall, I would definitely recommend Hostinger to anyone looking for a good web host for their WordPress site.
Pros:
Hostinger is a great web hosting for WordPress websites. They offer a free domain name, free website builder, and free SSL certificate (but only for one domain). Their customer service is also excellent.
Cons:
They does not include cPanel with all of their plans, and it may be tough for people to adjust to their hpanle (custom hosting panel by hostinger). And still some of option in beta version in there hpanle.

Dear Enaan, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We know that WordPress is a popular, easy-to-manage platform, and many of our clients use it - so every detail of our Worpress plans is tailored to offer the best experience. We understand that changing is hard, but we encourage you to give our hPanel a chance! It has been developed with acessibility in mind and is one of the ways we have to help everyone unlock the power of the internet (no matter their experience level). It also allows us to offer better prices since cPanel is a third-party option that requires a paid license. We wish you a lot of success and hope to keep this partnership for a long, long time! All the best, Team Hostinger

Decent hosting getting better
Comments: Overall, we're happy with the offering at this point. It would be nice if they offered easy integration with the free CloudFlare plan like similar hosts do, but that's not a dealbreaker. Assuming LetsEncrypt and email stick around, we'll remain content with what we're getting in our package.
Pros:
The hosting itself is pretty decent for the price. The proprietary control panel is quick and functional, they offer SSH access, and the upkeep is minimal. They currently support LetsEncrypt and email on our Business hosting account, but that's pretty new.
Cons:
For many months, we had to manually renew LetsEncrypt myself for all our domains, as the knowledgebase article which said they supported it proved to be obsolete. Now, they're offering it again, which is helpful. Likewise, we'd originally purchased the hosting without noticing it didn't include email, which is very useful on some of our smaller domains. These cons have since been corrected, though.

Affordable Hosting Provider
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,

The most optimized web hosting experience I have had
Comments: Hostinger has been one of the best discoveries I have made in the past few years. Amazing hosting plans, direct pricing packages, easy migration of DNS from alternative services, are but a few of the things I have found refreshing with Hostinger. Their customer service agents are also quite responsive and helpful (Shout-outs to [SENSITIVE CONTENT]:-))
Pros:
The layout and user interface is excellently simplified and uncomplicated. This made it extremely easy for me to learn my way around in no time at all. Integrations with other tools is also very seamlessly executed for a very enjoyable all round user experience.
Cons:
There was a mix-up with my account when I first signed up....which led to my account and IP addresses being blocked without warning. An explanation before the block would have been helpful. access got reinstated after a few days though.
Hostinger
Pros:
I like the features of the dashboard, it is very user-friendly. They also integrate the WordPress website builder perfectly. The integration with WordPress is perfect. Accessing your WordPress website throught Hostinger dashboard is easy.
Cons:
I don't think there is anything that I dislike about Hostinger. I rarely have any downtime on my websites.

Domain Com and Excellent Website Hosting
Comments: I started to use Hostinger's services a lot, and I also recommend it to my clients and work partners. I have another hosting company that I like a lot. But I put Hostinger in my priority list, because of the overall quality it has helped me a lot. And support has been extremely important, so I highly recommend the services of this company.
Pros:
I highly recommend Hostinger's services for several reasons. But recently I purchased a Hostinger domain for an e-commerce site to test some products. And I paid a super cheap and affordable price. I even received some name recommendations to improve search SEO. Besides, I needed to configure some files in the root of the domain, and I contacted support. The attendant was extremely helpful and professional, and in my view, fully qualified to be there. I just quickly explained what I needed and she didn't set everything up and insert the files into the domain. That's great, I highly recommend Hostinger's services. Integration with various website creators also makes Hostinger much easier to use.
Cons:
In the months I've been using Hostinger, I haven't had any negative events, either with my sites or with service. So, I have no cons to inform.

Extremly Pleased
Comments: Overall my experience has been great though. Again the con could be self emplied.
Pros:
What brought me to Hostinger was the price, as I was spending too much for AWS for the websites I was hosting. I started off with the basic plan for 3 years and have since upgraded my plan, and will have no problem upgrading my plan with them as I grow, as my experience has been very good so far.
Cons:
The only con I have is that the enforce HTTPs seems to break after making changes to the site, this may be on me though, as when I disable that feature and enable it, it works again. So maybe im rewriting my htaccess file. Just have not investigated on my end.

Best Ever Hosting Platform
Comments: Hostinger is lighter and faster than any other hosting platform.
Pros:
1. Hostinger customer service is amazing, they are always ready to help. 2. Most affordable for new bloggers and e-commerce start-up. 3. You get all product in one place (I like thier storage and lifetime SSL plan) 4. It's very easy to use and user-friendly 5. Also provide varities of features like website builders, cloud storage etc
Cons:
My website sometime took time to load, but when I addressed this issue to customer care they sorted it so effectively. Add admin feature for staff is bit harder.

Versatile and inexpensive hosting platform
Pros:
Hostinger’s pricing models makes adding features like ssl and domains easy and affordable. Hosting was easy to set up and has been extremely reliable. I have the basic package for my own blog and faster more resource intensive site for a client and performance is exceptional, especially compared to more pricy hosting plans for godaddy where they charge you an arm and a leg for features like ssl.
Cons:
Customer support is not as robust as godaddy and while helpful was a little delayed in returning calls. However they do have extensive training and resources available for using their software.

Honest customer services
Comments: Pricing is not reasonable if counted for single year price. I signed up a plan with their attractive promotions and thought it was for yearly plan but after plan came to renew, the yearly plan was not attractive to me unless I sign up for 3 years. I wish pricing wise would count for yearly discount plan rather than go by number of years for the discount I got at the promotion.
Pros:
I like Hostinger customer services because they are honest. They don’t just want me to purchase software without using it; in fact, they will recommend me if I need for my website. I feel like they are professional and comfortable to discuss with them without worrying of pushing purchasing.
Cons:
I just don’t like the usual maintenance from them; after they run the maintenance, my website was blank with alert notes. It happened 4-5 times I had to go in and repost my website. The last maintenance happened last week but it seemed they fixed it; that means my website stayed the same without any alert. Also the SSL icon I purchased does not show all the time, I have to fix the bot secure site sometime. I wish the SSL stays without me fixing it.
