Hostinger is recommended a lot and they're a cheap provider. So it should be a no-brainer right? Well in this Hostinger review, I dove deep and tested out everything they have to offer. Even take a look at why users tend to leave negative reviews and the main issues you might have if you decide to create a website using Hostinger.
Time Stamps:
00:00 - What happened with Hostinger?
00:30 - Why is it cheap?
01:30 - Hostinger performance is weird...
03:50 - Are Cloud hosting plans any better?
04:50 - Is Hostinger FAST?
05:44 - Why are Hostinger users upset?
06:30 - Hostinger offers EVERYTHING
08:00 - Questionable sales tactics
10:38 - Is Hostinger Worth it?
The biggest issue is the speed that they offer. Hostinger plans user Litespeed servers and all of the shared plans are equally fast ( or equally slow, depending on how you look at it).
Buying more expensive plans won't make your site faster unless you completely switch tech and go from shared plans to Cloud plans or VPS.
Even the fastest Hostinger plan can't compare to providers like A2Hosting which offer SIGNIFICANTLY better loading speed. At the price of convenience.
And as my Hostinger review shows, that's the name of the game with Hostinger - convenience.
You don't pay a lot, but you get a lot of features. Overall I still feel like Hostinger is at the top of my recommendation list when compared to other mainstream solutions just because of how easy it is to use and the performance is acceptable like 7.5/10.

Hello! First, Thank you for your informative video!
I was looking at hosting on Hostinger and I was wondering about the renewal process. I’m not sure if my company will work out so I don’t know if I want to pay for the additional years at the cheaper price. In this video you discuss turning off the auto renewal as well as around 10:57 you show a graphic of the renewal only being $24 or $48 which is a lot cheaper than the renew price on the website so I was wondering how you would go about getting those prices if you only went with the 1 year plan? Is that why you don’t auto renew? Is there a way to just renew at the base price instead of the higher renew price?
Thank you for any answer you can give!
Hey @EMTReviews, just watched your Hostinger video and it's 🔥! 🚀 Your detailed breakdown is super informative. *Shoutout to your mom - if she can handle that tech talk, she's a legend!* 🙌💻 Keep up the great work, looking forward to more videos.
Thanks man, will pass on the shoutout :D
WOW. What a review!!! As a hostinger user for almos 2 years, I can confirm everything you said it is true. Btw, your level of making the video so fun, objective, the desing so, so good makes you right away number 1 reviewer for hosting providers. Keep it up, Emit! 💟👏
Wow, thanks for the kind words. Im happy you took away something valuable from the video and I'll keep makin em as long as people find them useful! :)
One question.
Did you have a issue with drag and drop feature?
Your videos are very well edited, like the artificial zoom in of the 'Fully loaded time' button, as well as zooming out a website and it appears to be on an animated laptop. Lively, focused, not distracting. It is a pleasure to watch your videos and I am getting more and more informed about the ups and downs of different hosting solutions!
Thanks! I always try to put in my best effort into making the watching experience as enjoyable and clear as possible
Hostinger doesn't offer phone support I canceled with them after 15 minutes I'm trying to explain and show their chat support people what the issues were I do not recommend hostinger
Thanks for this amazing video. I do have a question though, are you able to host client website on your hostinger cloud plan and can you have unlimited client account? Thanks for the video.
You can. But there's a better way. I have a video showcasing how you can actually make more money and have an easier time managing client websites ruclips.net/video/Nc5ciMwpDCY/видео.htmlsi=SxZePfi_7LIuXBdh
I had to subscribe. I learned more from you in this video than I've learned over 12 months. I'm now scrolling your entire video selection to learn more. Thank You!
Cap
Thank you for your video, but the business plan states they dont provide priority support. Does this mean I won't have help if my site goes down? I want to open an ecommerce print on demand but am nervous I won't have support.
You will have support it just might take longer for them to respond. Instead of minutes it might be 30min - 1hour
If i only do email hosting is it still a gpod deal? I have some websites on other platforms still..can you transfer easily?..
Yes you can transfer the websites easily. If they're not hosted on Wix / Squarespace. But another web hostin company. Especially if it's a WordPress website the migration is very easy.
I don't recommend email hosting from Hostinger. Use Google Gsuite instead it's $5/mo, but the quality is much better.
@@Emit.Reviews ok thanks. For email, I'm thinking its best for me to have one google workspace and then other domain as aliasses, but I'm not sure if I need hosting for the aliases?
Hey, sorry if im a little late, i kinda need your help at this. Im creating an API endpoint along with site, so i chose Hostinger cause it gives me myPhpAdmin, site with file manager and domain (i bought Cloud one), so i setup PHP files such as login.php, register.php etc. and now i see it has Entry Process which is how many php files can be opened i assume, its limited to 50 and i think this is extremely low for an API endpoint which would be spammed probably to get data. Can i somehow make only this limit UP? I dont need more then 1 GB of RAM all i want is network requests, or is it just better to move to Firebase Realtime Database or something? :(
You can TRY to contact support and ask them if theres a possibility to increase this limit. But my bet is that you'll need to move to another type of hosting for this
Hi! 1)Did you use WordPress sites with plugins for testing the 6 hostinger sites and 1 A2 hosting?
2) If we add CDN to VPS hosting, won't it again become slow?
Yes, lots of plugins. All sites identical
No CDNs dont "directly" impact your website speed. They simply take a static copy of your web pages and store these static copies on various servers.
So, when a user requests a certain page from your website the server doesnt load a page it just shows users the copy it has on hand from the nearest server to the user.
This way, practically no loading has to be done.
@@Emit.Reviews
1)Let's say the VPS has a speed of 0.7 seconds and the CDN has a speed of 1.2 seconds.
If I select A2 hosting for the fast speed of 0.7 seconds. And then I put bunny CDN or some other CDN on the A2 VPS. Won't the 0.7 seconds become equal to 1.2 seconds again.
2) Does Google see the speed of the VPS or the speed of the CDN?
Also, thanks for the quick response 😊
When using a CDN the loading speed of the CDN will be used since your server only interacts with the CDN not the end users. But since a CDN gets files from your origin server and serves them as individual "static" cached pages. It's usually an increase in speed based on how fast it's available to get files from the origin server.
In very rare cases a CDN increases loading time (bad servers, not enough bandwidth for file transfers).
The reason why its faster is because users dont need to download the "whole" site when entering your website. They get shown a portion of it (a cached page). So if it takes 0.7s to download a whole site basically theres no way its going to take longer to download a single page if everythings working the way it should.
2. Only Google knows what they're measuring :D but when doing pagespeed tests, theyll suggest you use aa CDN if youre not already
Hope this makes it a bit clearer
@@Emit.Reviews Oh! Thanks for all the information. Your RUclips channel is top notch!
4:54 i dont see where they said each server was faster, they said you get more processor, memory and storage.
Man who is your Video Editor? Your Video Editing is Amazing. I would like to hire him, if possible.
Thanks, man! The videos are largely edited by my friend whom I started the channel with. I'm not sure if he's open for work as we usually already take 1-2 weeks of editing per video. But I'll ask him :) You can write me an email to emit@emit.reviews if you're interested and I'd email you back his contacts or the response directly.
I’m late but is there any fees for putting up a website? Custom domain name and up keep cost to keep a website up and running? Would like to know please and thank you! Very informational video!!!!!!🎉
The only fee is your webhosting plan + domain. Domains usually cost around 10$ per year. And the hosting plan depends on which package you choose.
There are no other required fees
This was such a useful and entertaining video. I found the information accessible and helpful.
Thank you for all the information, kindly can i make an e-commerce website with online payment options in hostinger
I appreciate how objective and thorough this review is! Also how charismatic you are haha. Youve earned a subscriber.
thanks for your video. Does Hostinger have server in Vietnam? What kind of Hard-disk they use? SSD or NVME ? And how about CPU type ?
They use SSD for cheaper plans (single/premium) and NVMe for everything above that. Their CPUs seem to in a variation of Intel XEON from 2014-2018. They dont have servers in Vietnam, but offer servers in India/Indonesia/Singapore.
DID YOU activate CDN IN BUSSINESS PLAN? still same speed?
All tests without CDN, as its possible to get a free CDN on every plan, I dont think it impacts much.
SUPERB video! Thanks for the in depth review :)
I dont understand the coudflare protected nameservers, does it do that by itself?
It does not. However, Hostinger does have some "easy" integration where they automate it if you go into the Hostinger dashboard, navigate to Cloudflare and activate it.
If it says you need to pay for that feature (not every plan has it), you can simply do it manually for free instead. All you need to do is register for a free Cloudflare account, input your website name, and copy paste the 2 nameservers they give you into Hostinger DNS settings.
@@Emit.Reviews ok thanks!! After watching some videos, I think I use hostinger for websites and google workspace for email seperate? Looks like best option I guess!!
Yeah definitely go for that
seems they host a lot of phishing sites. that concerns me - what IP will I get and what history does it have with security firms?
Yeah that happens with cheap providers. From my experience at least I never got flagged by spam filters using internal emails. And there is a function to "check" if your IP has been flagged by spam assassin or smth like that and transfer servers for free
OMG I'm so happy I came acrross your channel. I purchased Hostinger in hurry last minute Black Friday, and yes the count down is always reseting. Never mind, at least I know I got good deal. 😃 I subscribed. Great video 👍
is it good ?
which is better? web hosting or cloud hosting ? for blogs and e-commerce ?
Cloud, you get more resources by default, its more stable and can handle more requests at the same time (more PHP workers)
This was a killer review! Totally appreciated.
If I want to make an educational website (review center) that has a lot of videos say 200-250 gb , is hostinger good?? which plan is the best?
Hostinger is not powerful enough for this. Thats a lot of storage space and bandwidth you'll need. These type of hosting plans typically go for around a $100/mo as a very conservative starter base.
Ideally you want something like AWS, Microsoft Azure. Or ScalaHosting (easier to use emit.reviews/go/scalahosting )
Its usually bad practice to store such large files server side. If you want to do it cheaper, I recommend uploading it all to RUclips and just linking or embedding the files onto your site
@@Emit.Reviews Thank you so much for this!
Thanks for the clearing the confusion in peoples mind...Can you do a video or help me on how to set custom nameservers on my HOSTINGER VPS hosting? Domain is hosted on NAMECHEAP.
Can I set up privacy and coockie policy hostinger?
Its not web hosting specific. You can do that on any web hosting service, not just Hostinger
Well made video, thanks!
Thank you sir
I'm currently hosting 3 websites with siteground...and my renewal is $359+ for 2 years after going back and forth with them. your telling me I can just sign up for the hostinger 4 year plan for $172 and migrate all my websites ? will i have to tell siteground anything ?
Nope, you dont have to tell SiteGround anything. If you haven't renewed already, just dont pay. And sign up for Hostinger, then Hostinger support staff would even migrate all of your websites for free
7:25 anyway, i am back. Hostinger, yes, the plans are pretty much on the same server, just each plan gives you more a lotted space & ram, cpu etc usage on the server. Like CPU is vCPU, so it's a slice of the CPU a lotted to the package.
i have a question for you? i got the second cheapest plan, but i feel I'm limmited when it comes to editing my website...
None of the plans offer any advantages when it comes to website design / creation.
You're essentially just buying a server where you can store your website. Now for the creation and customization thats a whole different area.
You can code your site by hand. You can use WordPress with pre-made customizable templates or take advantage of a website builder tool offered by Hostinger (comes with all plans).
But in no way are the different plans make it easier/harder to create and customize a website since in that regard they all act the same
before registration they claim renewal for business plan is 8.99 $ but now i see its 11.99 $ yes they cheat ... and it is veeeery hard to see that 8.99$ is when you pay for 4 years ! !
8:23 most industries do this, even brick and mortar. You not see the clip from was it Walmart or one of those where all they did was change artwork design from a previous sale and then labelled it black friday sale. same sale from the day or so before! LOL I do not pay attention to those timers on websites, i buy whatever they are selling IF i want to WHEN i want tol
@emit - How did you make the website go live on Hostinger ai builder without PG?
I build the website with Hostinger website builder with your guidance but Hostinger did not have Payment Gateway Integration available in India Neither Stripe and Nor Paypal
Great video... I will use your link..
Thanks Emit!
And what about hostinger vps ?
I had a VPS with them maybe 2 years ago. I would say it wasnt worth the price as it was unmanaged and the speed wasnt incredible.
Ill try to check their VPS out in 2024
UPDATE: Starting November 19th and ending December 1st Hostinger is having a big black Friday sale. By stacking my promo code and their discount price you can get a premium plan for just $1.79/mo. Get your deals here emit.reviews/go/hostinger-discount?rev23
What about Kinsta?
I pay $15.99 at hostinger, so how did anyone get these prices? 😞
saying 100 Websites and 200GB only to find out you cannot use it because it has inodes limit LOL what a scam 🤣you can only host around 20-25 websites maybe a bit more if your website dont have lots of pages/blogs and images hahah
perfect video. thank you.
Really excellent. Merci
Thank you!
Bro I'm using Hostinger for my clients websites, but lately, we have been getting “website down” notifications 2-3 per week. And checking our usage, is not even our websites' usage, someone else on that same shared hosting is just killing the freaking server lol. I'm debating on upgrading (again) to the next plan. I moved from Starter to Business, now I'm thinking to move from Business to Cloud. But at that pricing, I can have Hostinger's VPS and put my main clients there (12 websites). And leave the rest on the Business plan or maybe the Cloud Plan, but again my issue is not even the usage we have, it's someone else.
Do you know, if I get the VPS service, can I keep all the emails that were configured with Titan Email? Because that is what is stopping me from moving on to the VPS service.
The Titan Mail is not associated with VPS; it is linked to the domain name. I switched to VPS last week but continued using the same email I obtained from the business plan.
That auto renew is funny. Why the hell do I have to tell them my reason. Siteground doesn’t even ask you anything once you disable auto renew, it’s your domain, your service. You shouldn’t provide a reason why….
Yeah its just a tactic to reduce the number of disables
looks like Hostinger campaign video
Please create a video about Godaddy and Blue Host
Both Godaddy and Bluehost are very overpriced for the services they offer. It seems like 50% of their budget goes to marketing, 45% goes to shareholder profits and 5% goes to their servers :D
Is hostinger better than bluehost and orangehost?
Yes, by a lot
@@Emit.Reviews what server location will be better to choose if i am from asia? On hostinger?
Make a video of Hostinger vs NameCheap
On it! But from my experience with NameCheap, I really dont think they stand a chance. Poor performance, lots of bugs and errors (I have a namecheap review) where I showcase this.
Short answer: Yes. What they're charging annual fees for I can have on a high-end laptop used only as a server. Good grief.
Shout outs to Mom ✊🏾
I get the feeling you get sponsored by hostinger.
Just a small gues
Never took a single sponsorship on this channel. Would kinda beat the whole "review" part :D
They sold me a spam domain and stole my money
Nice
Omg pls stop with the highlighter sound I can’t finish the video
I never liked Hostinger. Period.
He is my classmates dad so I think hostinger is good
Hostinger Customer Support is GARBAGE. Sat on chat for over an hour waiting to talk to a real person just to ask why there is no link icon to add url to a button using their wordpress build. I got response that they don't do these questions and gave me a post showing to click link buttons. THERE IS NO LINK BUTTON. They are no better than asking AI who don't know either. Transferring away from it ASAP. Do not recommend.
Well, technically they're correct. This is not a web hosting issue, it's a personal website issue. No web hosting provider would have to solve this problem for you as it's not "server/hosting" related. Their" WordPress Build" isn't different it's the same 3rd party WordPress install that comes with any other provider (or self-hosting situations).
@@Emit.Reviews Hi Emit, your name brought me back to my childhood as you share one of my friends' name. This video was very informative and entertaining. I've been using HostGator for a few years now, the price went up to $21.99 a month, on the baby plan, I have no other issues with them other than the price increase. What do you think about them? Thanks in advance.
@@Emit.Reviews Its THEIR build platform that was glitchy not a personal one
Paid Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's a fair assessment
naahh. it is unfair paid review. look at him ignoring the "unlimited bandwith" scam
I didnt, I adress it in the vid
The bad and main issue is Hostinger headquarter is in a Eastern European countries where corruption is king. Being close to Russia, Belarus is at greater risk from hackers, We want US auditors to review businesses to play fair in the businesses who carry many customers , credit cards info. if you move Hostinger to USA for sure I will sign up with you guys. Otherwise no thank you. Customers data is sensitive
sorry to say that but you are wrong, Hostinger blocks Russian and Belorussian users, while i don't like Hostinger myself but you can try to use VPN and try to register from Russia, you can not even pay for hosting. As for hackers mostly now are Asians and from Israel
If they move to US I will cancel ASAP! 🙂
I don't recommend this company. Complete frauds
Paid Review!! Hostinger really SUCKS!
What about renewal pricing? where new plan is available at 1x price & renwal is at 3x price😂😂
