Hostinger review

What Hostinger offers, who it suits and what we still have to test.

Not tested hands-on yet. This page is based on what the host publishes and on general buying advice. We have not bought this plan or measured its speed or uptime, so we give no scores. Check prices on the host's own site, because they change often.

Links marked as outbound may earn us a commission at no cost to you. Read our disclosure.

Hostinger sells shared, WordPress, VPS and cloud hosting, managed through its own hPanel control panel. Its appeal is a low entry price, so the renewal price and the length of the term matter more here than most.

Who it suits

Budget-minded owners of small sites who are happy with a host-specific control panel instead of cPanel.

What we will test

  • Page speed on an entry plan, from several regions
  • Uptime over at least three months
  • Support response to the same three real questions
  • The full cancel and refund process

What to check before you buy

  • Renewal price. Find the price you will pay after the first term, and compare hosts on that figure.
  • Term length. The lowest advertised price usually requires paying for several years up front.
  • Limits behind “unlimited”. Read the fair-use terms for CPU, memory and file count.
  • Backups. Ask how often they run, how long they are kept and whether restoring costs extra.
  • Refund window. Confirm how long it lasts and whether domain fees are refundable.
  • Leaving. Check that you can download your files and database and move your domain without a fee.
