And the website which they started at first still remains as a free hosting provider. According to the reports, Hostinger have more than 29 Million Users with average 10000+ new users sign up per day.

Hostinger started to rule the web hosting Industry by providing free web hosting, but people still have some doubts about the Hostinger Free web hosting.

Do Hostinger Provide A Free Hosting?

Yes, of course. Hostinger does provide a free web hosting service for its customers. It is easy and you will get some best features too. But as per many Hostinger customer reviews and experiences, the free hosting is just for testing purpose and you cannot run a website having more than 200 visits per day.

It is just for those who need to test Hostinger and they themselves admitted about the negatives of Free hosting. You can see it below.

If you are serious about your website and if you like to grow it (in terms of SEO), it is better to choose Hostinger paid web hosting plans. Free web hosting will be an advantage at first and head ache afterwards. So we suggest you to not use Hostinger Free Hosting Service, but instead use any of their paid hosting plans.

Since we decided to move on to the paid hosting service of Hostinger web hosting, It is important to check their Plans and Pricing, Uptime , Features, Hostinger cpanel and everything that bother you while using their free web hosting service. Does Hostinger web hosting provide enough features while you are paying them? Let’s find out.

Hostinger Plans and Pricing

Hostinger provides two types of web hosting plans, Cheap Web Hosting (Unlimited Hosting plan in India) and Cloud VPS Packages. The unlimited plan includes three sub categories of plans called Starter, Premium and Business. At the same time, Cloud VPS Plans have six varieties of plans. Let’s have a look into both Unlimited and Cloud VPS Plans.

Hostinger Unlimited Hosting Plan

Hostinger unlimited plan will be a perk for those who are looking for premium features at very low price. The lowest priced “Starter Plan” only costs $2.15/month. The benefits of the Starter plan is more than our expectation. You can host one website and use extra perks of 10 GB Disk space and 100 GB Bandwidth. Other Features of HostingerStarting Plan” are:

  • 1 MySQL Database

You can manage multiple websites since it support multiple websites and the Unlimited SSD Disk space and Unlimited bandwidth will be helpful to run websites without facing any issue.

The Hostinger Uptime & Load Time Reviewed

Hostinger claims to give an uptime above 99.99%. However, we don’t believe in promise when it comes to web hosting. So,  we hosted two websites, one with the free web hosting package and another one with their paid Premium Plan. The Result after testing it for last 73 days was given below;

We were curious to know the uptime they are providing for the Hostinger paid users. We were not surprised to see their up time average was 99.95% 

We got an average of 99.95% Which is considerably OK, but while it comes to hosting a business website, we cannot suggest a web hosting that having many down times.

In case of the Free Hosting, It is completely out of control and there are down times that can make you mad even if you are not paying anything. The total average up-time was below 99% and You should never, never, never host a website with Hostinger Free web hosting, If you are serious about your website

About the speed, Hostinger is decent when it comes to the Load speed. But the speed is not good enough to run a heavy website which having a bit heavy graphics and CSS. But, if you are a blogger or a small website owner, you dont need to worry about this. You can see the Pingdom Speed test results below. The website have a page size below 800 KB, and it took only 2 seconds to load. It is OK in terms of Google SEO speed factors, but Hostinger should Improve the speed since they are a bit slow while comparing its competitors.

Hostinger Review

Hostinger Customer Support

Hostinger has a very effective customer support. They have a Chat system, which is very premium, but there are very few members behind the chat system to answer your queries. They will show you if you are in a queue. You have offline messaging option in which you will get a message after one or two hours. You just need to give them your email ID and they will contact you through mail.

The only options are the Chat and email. The average customer support delay was 8 Minutes, which is quite common with many web hosting companies. We suggest you to go through their knowledge base if you don’t need to waste time to solve a common problem.

Hostinger Review 2020 – Conclusion

Hostinger web hosting become famous due to their Free web hosting service. But once you use their free hosting service, You will feel the heat. You should not use a Free Web Hosting for your website, if you are serious about it.

The paid hosting service of Hostinger was having an above average performance. They are best in terms of Load time, Up time and Customer support. But it will be better if they incresed the number of support agents. We strictly recommend Hostinger free hosting for website testing and those who are newbies. If you need to make your website stand out and rank in google, You can use their paid service. Hostinger web hosting plans are cheap to afford and you have a hand full of features with it.
