Support is chatbot-first with long waits for human agents on complex issues

Frequent upselling of Hostinger's website builder over WordPress solutions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hostinger actually bad?

For the price, Hostinger is fine for learning WordPress. But if your site matters — for business, SEO, or user experience — the performance limitations become a real problem. Modern platforms offer better performance for free.

I paid for 4 years upfront — can I get a refund?

Hostinger offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. After that, you're locked in. You can still migrate your site and let the hosting expire when the term ends.

Will my site be harder to manage without hPanel?

Easier. Git-based deployments on Vercel or Netlify mean you push code and it deploys automatically. No FTP, no file managers, no PHP configuration.
