how's it going everybody welcome back and today i'm going to be reviewing hostinger one of the
most popular web hosting services out there now hostinger not only is it affordable but it is also
a very good secure and very efficient web hosting service especially for those of you that are just
starting out maybe you're not very familiar with web hosting maybe you don't want to pay too much
for a premium uh plan maybe with hosting or so you just want to go with the very affordable plan and
by the way if you guys are interested in hosting here be sure to check the link in the description
down below click that link and then put this code in here so the coupon code is hosting promo
and you'll be able to save quite a bit of cash for your first year all right so we're gonna be
talking about the features performance uh support pricing the good the bad so stick around to just
get a good idea of what this service is about now starting with the h panel which is probably one of
the most distinct features about hostinger now the h panel obviously is very easy to navigate
as you can see here like most other web hosting services a custom panel that makes life easier is
something that most providers are kind of leaning towards right now but what makes hostinger special
is their privacy and permission dashboard which can be accessed through right here so if you click
account sharing you will be able to actually give the ability to generate separate login information
and control which service your employee or your friend will be able to manage on your account
which is great if you need someone's help managing your website without giving them complete control
or authority over your account or if you simply just want your client to have access over their
own account and only their account without exposing your private information and that kind of
security is perfect especially when coupled with two-factor authentication and email authentication
so security wise hostinger is top-notch now before i talk about the performance of hostinger
just want to point out a few things really cool features about uh within the h panel right here uh
the order usage you're able to show plan resource usage in real time so that is very so that can be
very helpful to keep track of everything uh you also have an auto installer and this will do
automated work like automatically generating wordpress websites with a single click another
really cool thing is the file manager and if you go down here you have a bunch of options a file
manager and which is really good when it comes to file and database management and of course
there are just so many features here uh such as website migrations flare free ssl and whatnot so
in terms of features you are getting so much with hostinger for the price you're paying and
it's really difficult to get all these features with other web hosting services especially when
you factor in the pricing of hostinger being quite cheap but we'll get into that later on okay now
with regards to the speed you have php 8.0 which performs 10 percent better than its predecessors
and all you need to do is just go to the age panel open your hosting account dashboard under
the advanced section click php configuration and you will be able to upgrade it right here
and just click update and you should be good to go okay so before getting into the good and the bad
just wanna show you guys here so uptime is really important for many people and while hostinger does
uh promise 99.9 uptime uh it does have its problems here in there and as you can tell
the past year okay so that'll be from january 2021 to 31st of december 2021 uh it was a 99.97
uptime so that is a total downtime of two hours and 14 minutes and six outages now obviously this
is not a five star kind of uptime no neither is it a one star kind of uptime it's really in the
middle um maybe i would give it not two stars and a half i'd probably give it three stars so yeah
with regards to uptime there are ups and downs but 99.97 is not the best in the industry but it is
still pretty good and again this is only the past year so if we let's say check out the past 30 days
it'll be still 99.97 uptime okay let's check out the last seven days so that's a hundred percent
uptime yesterday a hundred percent non-recorded okay uh last week maybe uh 99.88 uptime so there
are some hiccups with the uptime okay and uh we'll get into that in uh just a little bit so i want to
talk about the load times now it's no secret that the loading times for your site is very important
if a visitor comes to your website and has to wait uh for things to load they won't stick around in
fact many people aren't willing to wait for more than a couple of seconds for a site to load and
this is why i love hostinger because it provides quick hosting speeds besides the hiccups with the
uptime the speed itself the loading speed for your website is going to be super quick
which averages around 470 milliseconds give or take depending on what plan you're getting
and what kind of website you're running and you know if you're running a really heavy
website let's say and there are lots of things on here lots of products lots of videos lots and
lots and lots of stuff to load really they're just a huge load on your website you don't want to go
with a beginner plan you want to go with something like a premium or business plan otherwise you're
gonna have a rough time loading your site okay so just keep that in mind another great thing about
hostinger is obviously the affordability and all the benefits that you get with even the very cheap
single shared hosting plan you know you're still getting a 30 gigabytes of ssd you're getting a
10 000 visits monthly you're getting one email account you're getting free ssl you don't get a
domain which is understandable you that's reserved for more premium plans which is this this is the
most popular plan uh but yeah keep that in mind that even with the single shared hosting plan
you are getting a ton of things and features and just all kinds of things that really help you out
especially if you are a beginner now another cool thing is that you do get a money back guarantee
if you're not happy with your hosting or purchase no problem you have 30 days to try it out and get
your money back if your experience is not at all what you were hoping for however be sure to note
that the redemption fees domain name renewals and privacy protection are the only things that
are not part they're not a part of the 30 day money bank guarantee so keep that at the back of
your head otherwise the hosting domain transfers and ssl certificates are all refundable within
30 days of purchase which is great uh you also again you get a free domain as i mentioned earlier
and another cool thing is that you get a free website builder and that will be xyro xyro is an
easy to use builder and it's great for whipping up a company website but you can also build out
a fully functional online store with it as well and you can start with uh one of over a hundred
templates or drag and drop your way to a beautiful home on the web from scratch either way you get a
site builder for free with hostinger that doesn't make you sacrifice any customization capabilities
and it's super easy to use similar to squarespace and of course one of the biggest pluses here is
that it's just simple to get around as you can tell the h panel is very easy to read very easy
on the eyes and there's just nothing complicated about using uh hostinger you know you can get
familiar with the user interface in just little to no time now some of the bad things that i noticed
is that there's no phone support sometimes you need a real human on the phone to get help with a
problem and unfortunately hostinger does not offer that option and the only way to get in touch with
customer support is via live chat which is good but it isn't the same as a phone call especially
if you're new to web hosting now again another bad thing is that just spotty uptime on shared and
wordpress hosting hostingers lower octane plans haven't performed too well compared to their peers
and as you can tell here i showed you guys that last year there were two years two hours excuse me
uh two hours and 14 minutes of downtime uh which is not a lot but it is quite a bit because you
know you don't want your website to be down for uh more than that honestly two hours is already even
one hour is already just quite a bit fortunately though i have seen improvements when testing their
burlier hosting offerings hostingers virtual private server hosting turned in only 17 seconds
of total downtime when tested in late 2021 and another gripe of mine uh when it comes to the
features that you get with the budget plans so if you want to stick to the single budget the single
shared hosting plan here you will notice some missing features now you do get a lot of features
but if you don't go for the premium or business you're going to be missing some of them while
it's not really a deal while it's not really a deal breaker for everyone there are some helpful
features missing from hostingers entry level plans uh that i've seen on comparable ones from
their competitors the most notable case is with their wordpress hosting which doesn't include a
content delivery network or cdn and an automatic daily backup on the two cheaper plans the single
and starter and i think another downside is that for example as you can tell here the daily backups
are not available for the single in premium but it's only available for the business plan
the single plan does not get a free domain registration and other features such as email
accounts so you're only going to get one email account with a single plan and then you'll get
a hundred with the others um and besides that i mean i you don't get ssh access but uh yeah that's
pretty much it when it comes to the downsides of web hosting these web hosting plans with
hostinger so yeah overall hostinger is one of the most versatile hosting providers and has options
no matter how big or small your website and no matter what type of website you are looking to
build though the uptime speed has dropped a bit and isn't as consistent as i'd like it to be the
site load is very quick and the other pros seem to outweigh a few cons just be ready for some
potential site downtime although not really not always overall i highly recommend this hosting
service to get your website up and running and scale it along the way especially that there are
so many plugins that you can get with hostinger to help you with uh building up your website
especially the free website builder which is just great okay now hostinger is just great for
those of you that are both new and seasoned in building up a website and it has strong support
to help you along the way uh so yeah that'll be it for my review with hostinger here hopefully
