Overall Rating: 4.3 / 5 (Excellent)

Hostinger provides web hosting services at very competitive prices. While the basic, Single plan puts limits on storage, bandwidth, and number of websites, the Premium and Business plans are unlimited in this sense and offer a much higher value while still being very affordable. Hostinger is optimized for the Wordpress CMS, but can also function with other systems and with its own website builder. A free SSL certificate is provided with the Business plan, but can be purchased separately for an affordable price. Hostinger offers 24/7 multi-language customer service and has overwhelmingly positive feedback from its users. We highly recommend Hostinger for affordable web hosting for all types of users.

Hostinger Price & Subscription Model

Price and Subscription Model - 4 / 5

Hostinger's prices are very affordable compared to most web hosting services. The Single plan starts at $7.99/mo. The Premium plan is $11.95, while the Business plan is only $15.95. Customers can purchase hosting for 3, 12, 24 or 48 months in advance. With each term, there is a discount available from 42% to 75%. For example, the advertised price of the Premium plan of $2.95 is applicable if the customer purchases a 48-month plan. This totals $141.60 for 4 years of hosting. For comparison's sake, 1 year of hosting with the same plan would cost $65.40. Additionally, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee if the user isn't satisfied with the hosting service.
