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.

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:
One Excellent option and services too

For us, the good price, quality, and excellent customer service too thank you.

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
Hostinger Is best HOSTING provider I say this thing based on my experience.
Comments: My overall experience was super good. When fetching any problem just take Hostinger to live chat support their technical staff always helps us to fix our issue and till we are satisfied they will provide quality support. So As per me, Hostinger is one of the most reliable and secure solutions for Website creation.
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.

Most easy to understand and amazing product with extraordinary client care.
Comments: Honestly. Hostinger for me is affordable, easy to use and so far I have not experienced issues with their customer service.
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.

Cheap and Reliable Web Hosting
Comments: We are overall very satisfied with Hostinger. Even though there are some small things that are annoying, the very low cost but good reliability of the service won us over, as we are a small community organization that doesn't have a ton of funds to spend.
Pros:
The product was very inexpensive and easy to set up even for a non-technical person
Cons:
Many relatively basic features require add-on payments, such as SSL. In addition, it is kind of annoying that users are unable to access their sites while a domain is still pending.

Better than Bluehost shared hosting
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.

Hostinger: Affordable, but Efficient
Comments: I must say i am impressed. I did not know what to expect when signing up with Hostinger. The hosting is fast, Customer care is on point, easy to upgrade plans, innovative h-panel, though a little bit clunky for some of us. but i will recommend hostinger's hosting service to all out there.
Pros:
The price was affordable. The customer service is top notch. They have article for almost any issue one can face. I host 6 websites with them, and i must say they are fast. It handles wordpress sites well. The free SSL, Cloudflare and associated Zyro web builder places Hostinger a step above the rest.
Cons:
The h-panel is nice but It takes time getting used to, especially if one is used to the C-Panel.
Premium service and support at an affordable price.
Comments: Quality hosting services with fast and accurate support. Fair price. For a long time as a customer I have nothing to praise.
Pros:
Ease of hiring, professional availability infrastructure and fast support. Several years as a customer and many sites and domains hosted and no incidents.
Cons:
At first, because I was leaving the interface of traditional panels, I was a little resilient, but soon after, I see that everything is very simple and functional. I like everything today.

Hostinger best choice for hosting your site
Comments: Hostinger is a good tool to host your website. I had no knowledge about website hosting, getting the domain name and professional email for the professionalism of the company, thanks to its ease of use and quality price, I could start my business with professionalism thanks to this tool.
Pros:
Hostinger is an easy to use tool, its interface is simple especially for novices, its server is reliable so 24/24, its quality price is reasonable, it is really a preferable and powerful tool to host your website.
Cons:
Not much to reproach, it must improve its customer support service.

A great choice for basic web hosting and email
Comments: Overall, I am satisfied, there have been few outages over the years and when they happen they are typically corrected quickly. I use them primarily for email and that works very well.
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.

The best and affordable hosting website
Comments: I am not a tech savvy person but I am happy that I bought the domain and hosting plan from hostinger. It's easy, simple and convenient.
Pros:
I liked how as soon as chose the domain name there were options of hosting plans mentioning for beginners and how it would cost me monthly and annually. Once I did the purchase I was worried at first how I was going to get the website up. I was surprised to see the website builder AI options like I had options to customize and just use the one they already had in the catalog. It had everything in it from logo maker to adding images, styling website. I activated my email address. I mean it was all there step by step I had nothing to worry about.
Cons:
Everything was mentioned step by step and I did not had any problem accessing the website or how to get started. So no cons from my end.

Whether it be an issue with DNS or Wordpress, they are always quick to respond and patient with me as I solve issues.

Pros:
I recommend Hostinger to all my clients who I build websites for. Their prices are stellar and their customer service is ALWAYS available to help me out with anything I need!

I would like a few less-frequent reminders of expiration dates.
