Hostinger review: where the value is and what to check first

Hostinger combines low introductory pricing with a broad product line. The important part is matching the plan to your site and comparing the full term cost with the renewal rate.

What Hostinger sells

Hostinger currently offers web hosting, managed WordPress hosting, an AI website builder, managed cloud hosting, VPS hosting and domain registration. That breadth is useful, but it also means a generic recommendation can hide meaningful differences between products.

The pricing pattern

Hostinger advertises discounted monthly equivalents on long prepaid terms. Current web hosting pages show Premium at $2.99 per month on a 48 month term with a $10.99 monthly renewal rate, while Unlimited is $3.99 with a $16.99 renewal rate. Prices can change, so confirm the live checkout before buying.

Who should look closely

Beginners building a small site, WordPress users who want managed tools, and budget conscious site owners are natural audiences to compare Hostinger. Sites that need dedicated resources should compare Cloud and VPS rather than assuming entry web hosting will scale indefinitely.

Support and community sentiment

Hostinger advertises 24/7 support. Recent community discussions include both satisfied users and complaints about reaching human support. Treat those reports as individual experiences rather than a guarantee of what your own support experience will be.

Migration

Hostinger currently offers free assisted migrations for eligible Web, Cloud and Agency plans. Its support documentation notes that email, cron jobs, DNS records, custom SSL configuration and FTP accounts are outside the standard website migration scope.
