Hostinger Web Hosting Review

Hostinger Web Hosting Review in 2020

Today we will talk about Hostinger Detailed Review. I have completely covered Hostinger's like: All plans, discount coupon, and a free training program is also included. 

So let's get started Let's talk about the overview when you login in Hostinger, This is the panel which you will see:

I will click on manage and my H panel will open up There is no Cpanel, they provide with Hpanel. hPanel is their custom interface. It is almost like Cpanel, you can see the same features here Last year. I was not happy with its interface, but this year they have made improvements. I have tested 3 websites. I took Cloud hosting from hostinger Shared hosting, which is on Asia server Shared. Hosting on USA server Shared hosting is on Premium Account. The Shared hosting (Asia server) was on the startup package. So I will review on the basis of these 3 hostings experience. If I compare it from last year, I have seen improvements and some things have gone below.

Starting with the Server Response Time: So here is the Server Response Time In USA, Server Response Time is A+. Every country has a good performance except Singapore. Bangalore has 200ms, Google recommends 200ms. If I go to the Singapore server, it is a shared server and this is the cloud server. So you can see in Bangalore and Singapore the response is good. If I talk about London and the USA, the Server Response Time increases. So Server Response Time is Decent and not the best. So if I talk about the speed, it is good. My 2 websites are hosted on them.

So the results I have got in the speed test The shared hosting in Singapore has taken time In Delhi - 1.2s time is taken. Which is fast and good In cloud servers. They took a speed of 1.1s from the server that is in the USA, is taking 800ms to access a website. So I have got good speed. I have no complaints.

If I talk about average speed: If I talk about average first visit speed Servers in the USA are 3.3s, the average second visit is of 1s. The shared server in Singapore is giving a speed of 3.2s and in Cloud servers, it was of 3s. So I am getting an average speed of 3s which is good and I am getting a good speed on Second Visit which is under 1s due to Cache Plugin(W3 Total Cache). If I talk about Uptime, it is very good. This is my website which is hosted on Hostinger. I have hosted 2 of my websites here.

So the Uptime I have got since December is good. Downtime is of 3 min, 2 min And the last 30 days uptime is 99.988%, which is very good. If I talk about the load tests. I have done a load test on all my 2 servers. So I sent 50 virtual users to my website that whether they pass in the load test or not Or if they refresh altogether, do they face any problem. I will start with the Singapore Shared Hosting Servers. So I sent 50 virtual users and my users started to increase and they put up 7,500 requests and among them, only 1 request failed. So this was a good thing.

Second, if I talk about response timing, so we usually need a straight line So a straight line means a stable response The response time is doing many variations. But I don't have any problem because it is not increasing that much The response timing here was 560 ms and then it increased to 1s So it didn't jump from 560ms to 3s as it happens in many hostings. So there is not much difference. So if I see below there is a performance issue.

This performance issue means, that when it is loading, my request response time is increasing. Since it is shared hosting. So it's not a major issue. It is not failing any requests. So this is important, I run my shared hostings located in USA servers. I have seen better load test results. I've sent 10k requests and only 1 request failed. Request Response Time has increased. Later It has not increased that much Average Response Time is 33.32ms and I haven't seen any performance issues yet. So one thing is clear the USA server is better in performance. It doesn't mean that India and Singapore servers aren't good enough.

The servers of the USA are better and efficiently tuned When I run this in the cloud, it was exactly according to my expectations. I have taken Singapore Cloud Hosting So here you can see a straight blue line. Which means there are no variations. I have sent 12k requests and none of them have failed. I had 50 users who were continuously refreshing and I didn't face any issue Talking about Cache Plugin. You get Cache Manager, So use it You also get Plugin along with it. Which is W3 Total Cache, So combining all 3 gives better results.

Talking about the data centers: They are situated in the UK, USA, Brazil, Netherlands, Singapore, Indonesia, and Lithuania(Europe).

Talking about the domain name, you get a one-year free domain name on premium and business hosting packages. You also get a temporary domain name for 14 days.

Talking about Backups: you get automatic backups, You can also take on-demand backups. Backups are stored off servers, which is a good thing. The procedure to restore backups is a bit difficult. There is no one-click restore option, but you can get help from the training program.

Talking about Ease of use: you won't see any Cpanel, You will have hPanel. Which is very easy to use. You get 24x7 Live Chat Support. There is no phone number available. Technical Support is decent, Live Chat Icon is easy to find Whenever you log in. You can see that button in the right-hand corner. The waiting period is 20-60 mins which can go up to 80 mins. Last year it was very fast Whenever I did a query I use to get a quick response, but now it has become slower, maybe due to new customers. Hopefully, they improve this in the future. If I talk about inode count. I can see up to 6lakh Inode Count. In Cloud Hosting there is an Inode count of up to 20 lakh. It is very good Inode count means the total files you can keep on the server.

If I talk about its pricing, it starts from ₹ 45 per month and it goes up to ₹189 per month And you have an option for cloud hosting. Which starts at ₹409 and goes up to ₹2500 per month. The third type of hosting is WordPress Hosting. You will have these 3 options in WordPress Hosting. So in actual, you get the WordPress installed in it So I won't recommend this hosting. So instead of WordPress Premium Hosting, take the Cloud Hosting, where you will get the same resources.

The best value for money plans are: Business web hosting (for Shared Hosting) at ₹ 189 per month for 4 years. In cloud hosting the first plan is of ₹409 per month. These are good plans where you are getting daily backups and good resources. You have PayPal, UPI, Debit Card, Bitcoin, Credit Card, and Bank Transfer.

The Refund Policy is of 30 days. There is no CDN, SSL is only for one website. Which I think is a drawback. But you can overcome its drawback If you will use Cloudflare. There is only free migration for 1 website.

Talking about software: they have used lightspeed web servers, PHP 7,4, data integration is there But in their shared hosting for NodeJS, Python, Perl there is no support You will have to take VPS Plans for this. But for CMS like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal you will find support. You can also create unlimited Cron jobs.

Talking about the site builder: it is okay.

Talking about its pros: Its price is at an affordable point, Its speed, uptime, and easy to use hPanel Good support and good load handling. You also see their latest version.

Talking about its cons: Slow Live Chat, only one SSL, Temporary Domain is for 14 days, no one-click restore option for backups. you have to manually restore it.

Coming onto the bottom line According to me, it is the best affordable hosting option. If you have to start or you are a beginner and you want an affordable hosting or cloud hosting. So Hostinger is a good option I have hosted my all websites in different plans. So according to me, you should check out this plan You find its link and training program.
