“Very easy to set up and easy to upgrade hosting plan”

Adly A.
7/4/22

Very easy to set up and easy to upgrade hosting plan. Easy to navigate and understand what each options do even for beginner like me. The only problem I had was when Hostinger upgraded their server in Singapore(which where I selected my server location). Other than that, its perfect. Never been down since. Uptime since 2021. 10/10 - Customer Service, Navigation, Current Plan Details, Processing Task Manager & Dashboard 9/10 - Uptime

“Dreadful service and they delete you info.”

Be careful using this company, They can and do suspend your website for not updating your plugins as well as blocking parts of their site to you and in spite they put you on a slow server making it impossible to do anything. This week I've had 2 websites suffer this very issue. I'm off to another hosting company. Hottinger deactivated all my plugins and removed them from my site, making my site dead. And 2 days ago they suspended another one of my websites because my plugins were not getting updated automatically. Would you really want to trust a company like that with your website?

I purchased hosting in January 2023. Migration was very quick. Hosting is fast (faster than two previous providers).
However, customer service sees you talking to numerous people as each reply is answered by another Hostinger employee and not all of them are as consistent or clued up as they might be.
The worst is the Finance Team and billing issues. Despite them agreeing the amount charged was incorrect they refused to refund the error. Instead, assuring me that it would be correct next time it was billed!
What was a good initial experience is now a bad one.
Be very careful about charges. Check and check again and take screenshots as Hostinger's Finance Team don't do refunds. Once they have your money its gone. I found out too late.

Tip for consumers:
Take screenshots, get everything in writing.

Hostinger is a user-friendly, competitive service that provides exactly what it says. The website is easy to navigate, with many helpful prompts. All services are accessible for every one, no matter their level of experience. It's incredibly easy to set up a website, with all you need in one place. There are some features I would have liked, which are missing such as being able to create a wildcard (*) subdomain, but this isn't a dealbreaker. I would recommend Hostinger every time.

I have been using Hostinger for three years. Everything runs smooth but what makes the difference is the live chat and support for any issue you may have. Every problem I had, had been solved immediately and you always feel you can contact a real person 24/7 that will actually help you. Totally recommend it for individuals and developers. The most reliable hosting company I have experienced as a web developer. Your live chat is the best

My business shared hosting plan used to perform better in beginning. I feel cheated that it is now under performing and my SEO is compromised because of server issues. Just another hosting company wanting customers to upgrade. Unfortunate

Hostinger has really affordable prices and is a great place to host a custom site. I previously had a Virtual Private Server with another company, which due to the moving of some projects, became overkill for the Drupal website I had. I found Hostinger and it worked perfectly! I was able to easily copy over my database and website files, getting my site moved over and running within a day. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a place to host a custom built website.

I'm really happy with your service and my day job is to manage a large cloud MSP in NYC for multiple financial clients. This is all I do for a living but unfortunately they don't give us free services. Not only does it just work, but it's an easy GUI to manage website, code, DNS, public everything so it's a one stop shop and it's extremely affordable! I am happy with their service so far!

You guys are doing a great job with providing hosting services at lowest cost and keeping the serving going 24/7. Although I had some troubles with browser error 500 when I added two more websites to the hosting, I guess you get what you pay for. Fair enough I am satisfied with Hostinger and believe that there will be no compromise on the standard in future.

I have been using Hostinger for multiple sites over 5 years now. I have never had any issues with them. Their load speed has improved over the years, and any criticisms I once had have already been handled by the service upgrades they have provided over the years. Tech support is fast and friendly. There are always deals on the mainpage that are great if you just do the 4 year hosting plan.

Its a very good platform, I have managed to create my wordpress website and its now live. It was so quick and easy to set up everything.

I'm also impressed that the database doesn't crush as it was with the other providers.

Do you have a live chat option in case there is a problem or an inquiry? I'm from Malawi (Africa) and I'm happy with the service so far.

Cancelled service in three days after setting it up. Trial is backed by 30 days return policy.
Upon request by the hosting Co I sent required payment information (they cannot located it). Eventually Company found that I paid but apologizing once more and asking me to continue sending proofs but now to another email. Though cancellation email clearly advised what email to use for cancellation. What a mess!

Tip for consumers:
I am not sure

Doesn't have a call centre. Cannot talk to any executive, only via Email, Explaining over Email becomes very difficult at times, so have to shift to other provider for support. Need a help desk where we can talk over call, explain they our issued & get the solution.

A big criminal scam done by these hostinger crooks. NOTICE. They ripped off all their customers, over and over again. AVOID IT.
Run away from Hostinger while you can
Firma Hostinger sold unlimited paid plans for several years, which in 2018 cut sharply and forced all customers to accept the cuts without complaint, pushing them towards alleged upgrades and abusive and dictatorial terms of service, all manipulated and cut at the will of accommodation. A big scam done by these hostinger crooks. The latest hack was the Websitebuilder included in the plans which has now been abducted and does not allow users to edit their websites. NOTICE. They ripped off all their customers over and over again. AVOID.

Tip for consumers:
Close that page before you do any purchase. Don't you give your money to these crooks.

They have a 30 day money back guarantee, but when I asked for a refund they didn't refund £6.50 for registering a FREE domain (".co.uk").

Dear Andy,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Although we're sorry that it didn't meet the standards we have established for ourselves, your input will help us improve as a service provider.

As the specialists explained, domains are not included in the 30-day money-back guarantee because they have special refund terms (as described in our Refund Policy: hostinger.com/refund-policy). It happens because Hostinger is a domain reseller who must abide by the Registrar's (organizations that register and manage domains) rules and deadlines.

However, we are investigating your account to find out the best to help you and ensure your satisfaction. Let our Customer Success Team know of any questions or queries - we're here for you.

Best wishes,
Team Hostinger

Clean Interface, easy to use, fast.

There are 2 things I miss:
1. Automations.
When dealing with multiple projects I would like to create some workflow in Integromat and automate the website creation process. It's essential in 2022

2. Client Portal.
Sometimes my clients want to control their mailing inbox
