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.

My several sites are going down again again again
September 30, 2022

My several sites are going down again again again. Customer support staff says that there is malware and the Hosting team is working on checking and removing the malware. Unfortunately, this situation is continuous for the last 3 weeks. We are ruined because they do not hire or retain good security staff and Hosting is failed to get the sites disinfected durin the last two weeks.

They may shutdown your hosting due to fake copyright abuse.

Shared hosting panel: 0/5
Support: 0/5
Overall service: 0/5

Then they will abuse your reviews on trustpilot and other websites saying that review is fake. Thats why they have good score there.

AVOID THIS GUYS.

We are super sad to not be able to do business with you in this particular case. We will gladly welcome you back once you follow our kind requests which were provided to you personally.

Best regards,

27 of September I mailed to HOSTINGER abuse hotmail after I found my Coinsphere wallet cleared of funds and complained about a company Rex Wealth Recovery (unregistered and unlicensed) that lured me in opening a wallet t to recover lost funds to it but since there is HOSTINGER policy on data protection I am unable to obtain required data of Rex Wealth Recovery to report them to authorities.
Since my reporting through mail however I did not receive even an acknowledgement neither a ticket to taking care of my case after three days.
To follow up my mail I have sent three times to HOSTINGER their own form about inappropriate content but simply again left without any response.
Well it is a strange and lousy attitude hardly met and seen even in post-communist countries where I live. I do not know what they want to achieve with that, certainly they do not offer helping hands to victims or they are only money collectors no matter what.

Service was OK for a few months, most of the tech support requests were answered with "Here is a page how to do it, do it yourself". Lucky I was able to make my own changes.

We host reviews to businesses and people who work for government and the courts.
A dishonest party did not like that we listed their work info (which we copied from their work website)
Thus the dishonest party claimed we posted "private info of a person" to our pages (untrue, in fact this info is all over Google with Google reviews.
We sent screenshots and links to where this info was copied from

However Hostinger ignored us, did not respond, they just suspended our account, this happened several times for 2 domains, all the same complaint and issues. They claimed we violated their TOS and pointed to "terror" as what we did to this person.

We had no choice but to move our sites and domains, where "the next host had no problem". I think part of the problem is Hostinger staff have poor English ability so they did not understand what they were told and instead of trying to understand they just agreed with the dishonest party and suspended their own customers account.

We have written several emails and messages to ask for a refund for the unused services but they ignore us and come back with silly, "you are right" but we did what he had to do BS.

While they get most of their clients from low balling low prices, the custom Cpanel set up is a nightmare and used to stop you from migration away from them. Things are not in normal places and it's over complicated not better than Cpanel.

Once they know you're not happy they ignore you

Dear Jose,

Thank you for the feedback. It is unfortunate that our Terms of Usage did not meet your expectations.

We have analyzed your situation regarding the legal base of the information stored on the website and concluded that it does meet our ToS. Our team understands the frustration from your side; therefore, it was never our intention to deteriorate our partnership. However, here at Hostinger, we seek friendly and secure Internet, and we were eager to consider both parties' interests. Consequently, after a thorough analysis, we will refund the unused funds to fulfil your needs.

It is truly sad that you did not enjoy the usage of hPanel; it is built on customers' feedback, and we would love to hear more about your difficulties. If you have a free minute, please drop us an email at quality@hostinger.com, and we will wholly note your feedback and help you out with the migration!

If, by any chance, someday in the future, you will give us a second chance, we will do everything in our power to upscale your experience. As we offer free SSL Certificates and paid ones, and we are continuously improving our Customer Success team's skills.

Our team is wishing you all the best!

Sincerely,
Team Hostinger

Not all good news
March 7, 2023

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.

Hostinger will take advantage of any vulnerabilities or errors in your installation by offering an upgrade as a solution (it isn't) instead of actually helping you resolve the issue. They are happy to take your money.

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.

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

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

Hostinger Onboarding
August 2, 2021

While I was setting up my new Hostinger account, I had an unexpected experience with the billing department. The agent that helped me was amazing and made me feel right at home which solidified my decision to go with Hostinger for my web hosting. So, a BIG shout out to the agent that assisted me. Her name is Maricris! She is super professional and went above and beyond to welcome me to the service! I had been stressing about what host to go with over an entire weekend and now I feel so relieved. I now know that I made the right decision. Thank you Maricris and Hostinger for the awesome welcome! I'm looking forward to a long partnership.

I have had a good overall experience with them and received any service I needed.
Automatic installations are a must for me as they simplify the process for you so much and I firstly chose hostinger for this, but it has been a life saver. I hope hostinger has good upcoming black friday deals for my renewal.

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.
