Hostinger Reviews

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

Pros

I really liked the tech support I received when I asked for a real person to answer my inquiry. They also don't use the opportunity to upsell you features you may not need and I really appreciate this. I didn't feel like I was being coerced into spending more money.

Cons

I didn't like that they too have moved to chat bots to solve any support questions, but I suppose it's how things are done now with a lot of companies. I am not too keen on their interface either. I don't think the design is intuitive for finding things quickly.

Cons

Avoid Hostinger at all costs! They're scamming people out of their money and providing zero service. They charge for things they don't even deliver, and their hosting is painfully slow compared to others on the market. Only consider Hostinger if you're actively seeking a sluggish/bad hosting experience.

Pros

One of the things I appreciate most is its affordability, offering some of the best prices in the market, especially for beginners or small businesses looking to get started without a huge investment.

Cons

One of the things I liked least about hostinger is their live chat support, although responsive, but only accessible after logging in, which can be frustrating if you are seeking quick pre-sales answers or troubleshooting help before account access.

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.

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.

Reasons for Choosing Hostinger

Bluehost's customer service is terrible, slow, and prone to just copy paste the same answer over and over. That aside, their menus and website management tools are not really good.

The price was right, and after a quick talk with their sales team, we decided they were a company we liked.

Pros

I mean it works, has enough tools for a website.

Cons

If you are taking payments it limits you to use only 2 providers that they have, like Stripe there's not even square payments option.

Reasons for Switching to Hostinger

I wanted to try it since they advertise the ai so much but needs upgrade if you want to use more simple tools.

Pros

Budget friendly and reliable. Different locations available closer to your location.

Cons

Would have preferred an easier setup for CDN

Pros

Hostinger is a good host offering a huge variety of services, being able to be the only hosting provider a business needs. Its comprehensive dashboard offers a lot of help with setting up each service. Its website builder is easy to use.

Cons

The dashboard can be unnecessarily complicated for some operations, requiring some trial and error sometimes to get it to do what is needed. The website builder can sometimes be tricky to use when doing anything advanced, and it generates pages which cannot be copied or modified easily with another tool.

Pros

How easy is to set up a new website and also the cost

Cons

Sometimes is not as easy to update some of the pages. They should have video tutorials

Pros

I really like how easy this system is to use and how responsive the team is when I've needed assistance. They also took some of my concerns into consideration about update statuses and keeping users informed. It makes running a site very simple. Once my other site is up on another server, I plan to use Hostinger as my future hosting site for it as well because, honestly, the price can't be beat.

Cons

The only thing I haven't enjoy so far would be that they need to find a better way to alert users to when their server will be down for maintenance. Their current options either flood your mailbox with info on servers that aren't yours as well as yours or you have to check daily and search for your server. If they had a system to just contact the correct server users when the server would be down, instead of everyone not even on the servers, it would help admins let users know quicker that the site will be down for maintenance.

Pros

Affordable and buying a domain is easy on Hostinger. Their business email service is also affordable.

Cons

The pricing. It can be made more affordable.

Pros

Its very nice website builder for my business as digital world.

Cons

if we get email unlimited that would be more useful for us.

Pros

• The stability rate and performance of the service is good most of the time.• Technical support is good and fast.• Good security measures and a free ssl certificate.• Free site transfer service.• Provides a free tool for creating websites.• Prices are low with many promotions.• Possibility of refunding within 30 days.

Cons

•The control panel is not common and needs training to deal with it.•Unlimited hosting resources are subject to conditions.•Refunds are subject to conditions.•Daily backups are not provided for all hosting plans.

Pros

Speed and performance is the important thing about a website, Hostinger never compromises with it. With Hostinger they arrange Great quality infrastructure for running our website. As compared to another provider from where their pricing started in shared hosting Hostinger end their plan so it's too much pocket-friendly and reliable solutions for startups. Shared and also VPS plan pricing was very low but as compared to pricing their support was too good.

Cons

With Hostinger shared hosting plan they will provide us Hpanel from where we easily access and manage our websites from one place and within a few clicks we install any Content Management System as per our need. And with the VPS plan, we use any panel like Cpanel, Cyber panel, and lot's more with Custom OS. The overall support was too good I just say all those things based on my experiences.

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.

Reasons for Switching to Hostinger

Affordable pricing plan

Pros

Finally a hosting service that has a proper panel. Easy to work with, even without experience. Super intuitive and great user experience. The support team helped me twice and I'm very pleased with their service and friendliness.

Cons

You might need to pay some extra $ here and there. Like I got a free domain on my purchase, but I had to pay to have my info hidden in WHO.IS which made the domain more expensive than normal. Or you don't have an option for free SSL if you transfer your domain. It saved me a lot on my hosting so it's still a fair deal.

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.

Pros

I like hosting very much because in this you get hosting as well as other facilities so that the website gets good speed and its user interface is very simple which is easy to use.

Cons

Even after taking Hostinger's hosting, your website can be hacked, for which you have to use a separate plugin, which I did not like.

Pros

On the off chance that you experience an issue, or simply have an inquiry you'd prefer to pose to Hostinger's client care crew, you can hit up the help team by means of web chat on a day in and day out premise. We discovered the staff to be inconceivably cordial and instructive, and they responded to our test inquiries with the fitting connections. Hostinger's client service group is the best we've experienced in the web hosting game, outperforming most of the web hosting companies we have used in the past.

Cons

The live chat is just accessible for clients who have made an account with Hostinger. Thus, in case you are a potential client who needs to discover more about this platform, you will be unable to get to the live chat except if you join.

Pros

Great interface, performance taken into consideration, perfect for Wordpress, easy of use.

Cons

Very bad support (even when you subscribed to the premium). Answers that come out of nowhere from people who don't even understand their topics.

Pros

The ease of migration and implementation, and very prompt support that leaves no stone unturned in delighting you every single time you approach them.

Cons

Their Management Control Panel has some glitches that need to be resolved, sometimes WebFTP refuses to work or crashes.

Pros

It was simple to set up and get started. The control panel is full featured and allows you to control all the aspects of your setup. It's fairly simple to use and has all of the standard software packages you would expect.

Cons

Getting a hold of someone for support is difficult. Even when you finally get someone via email, the conversation drags on for days. The support is the least effective part of this service.

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.

Pros

We came to Hostinger from Bluehost. We got tired of our sites being down for prolonged amounts of time (sometimes days) and the customer service for Bluehost went downhill the past couple years. We had been Bluehost customers for over 10 years so we missed the good old days when customer service actually cared about your longevity as a customer. We haven't had to contact Hostinger support (so can't really compare that to Bluehost), but that's because our sites have only gone offline a few times in the past couple years, and each time was the middle of the night and resolved within minutes.

Cons

The interface is a little different than the traditional CPanel, but after clicking around and using the search box, it's actually more intuitive.
