Hostinger

Hostinger Advantages:

Free services and unlimited features mean nothing if your website can’t stay online. During our testing, Hostinger had excellent uptime, fast loading times, and knowledgeable customer support.

1. Uptime

When evaluating web hosting metrics, uptime is paramount. Hostinger does well in this regard, and with the exception of a few days where it wasn’t perfect, the overall performance is very good. The graph below is the uptime for the past 12 months:

2. Page Load Time

Fast page load speeds are critical to the user experience of any website. Have you ever hit the back button just because the page was slow to load? Statistics show that if a website takes more than three seconds to load, 40% of visitors will give up waiting.

Hostinger has servers in the US, UK, Brazil, Netherlands, Singapore, Lithuania, Indonesia, and network bandwidth up to 1000 Mbps, which helps ensure stable load times. The chart below is the test results for the past 12 months:

3. 30-day money-back guarantee

Hostinger offers a variety of different payment options such as Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, JCB, PayPal, Bitcoin, Maestro, Alipay, WeChat Pay, UnionPay and many more.
They also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you think Hostinger is underperforming, you can always get a full refund within 30 days.

4. Multilingual customer support

Customer support is an important reference indicator. If your website is down for some reason and you can’t get in touch with support as soon as possible, you’re likely to lose a lot of sales.

Hostinger doesn’t disappoint, they offer a multilingual customer support team and use Intercom as their primary support system. However, you can only access live chat when you are logged into your backend dashboard account.

5. Free Domain and Website Builders

No matter which hosting plan you buy, you get a free website builder and there are many different templates to choose from:

After choosing a template, you can customize everything on the page. Thankfully, Site Builder is also multilingual:

Premium and business versions offer a free domain name, which will save you a fortune in the long run.

6. Easy to use

Hostinger offers an easy-to-use interface where you can find everything you need in one place. The control panel is not a traditional cPanel, but the large icons make it easier to find what you need: Dashboard

Some advanced users may prefer cPanel, but otherwise, this customized version is perfect for beginners who don’t want to be a software engineer to learn how to build a simple website.

7. Unlimited features on Premium and Business plans

If you sign up for a premium or business hosting plan, you get tons of unlimited features including unlimited websites, unlimited traffic, unlimited databases, unlimited email accounts. For email, you can set up auto-responders, enable/disable accounts, and forward emails to the customer’s domain.

8. Affordable

The pricing strategy is similar to most of its competitors, with substantial discounts for first-time users who sign up and then bump up when they renew. Still, those prices are attractive. We prefer to buy the 48-month hosting plan as the average price here is the lowest, and considering the generous 30-day money-back guarantee, you shouldn’t be taking any risk (other than time).

Hostinger Disadvantages：

There’s a lot to like about Hostinger’s uptime, page load speeds, quality of customer support, and custom control panel. But unfortunately, there is no perfect web host, and every company has its flaws or flaws, and here are some of the less-than-perfect ones.

1. No traditional cPanel control panel

Hostinger has developed its own control panel that makes web hosting easier to use than most of its competitors. But if you’re used to traditional panels (such as cPanel), you probably won’t like this dedicated dashboard.

2. Must pay for additional domains

For those who choose the premium or business hosting plan, a domain name is available for free. But many other domains are not free, with .com and .net endings for less than $10 per year; .xyz, .online, .tech for just $0.99 per year.Domain Pricing

3. Limited cheapest plan

Hostinger’s cheapest plan is very affordable, but if we look closely, the resources are rather limited.

For example, domain names aren’t included in shared plans, which is something many competitors offer on all plans and has become an industry standard — at least you hope to get it in the first year. Also, the cheapest plan is limited in storage and traffic, which should be enough if you have a small hobby site, however, if you have a larger site, you should opt for a more expensive plan.
