Hostinger Overview

Hostinger these days has become one of the most popular web hosting companies in the world. The company started its journey in 2004 in Kaunas, Lithuania.

But, over the years company has become popular as an affordable and feature-rich web hosting company that is currently serving millions of users across 179 countries.

The first time I got to know about Hostinger was in the year 2018. I was browsing Facebook and a Hostinger advertisement triggered me so I liked it. From that day, I started seeing so many Hostinger ads in my feed.

In 2021, I finally decided to try Hostinger for one of my websites. Along with time, I moved my 6 websites to Hostinger because I liked some of the Hostinger features a lot.

Hostinger offers different shared hosting, cloud hosting, and VPS hosting plans. Being a WordPress user, I like Hostinger more than other web hosting providers because all of its shared and cloud hosting plans offer managed hosting for WordPress.

Another thing I liked about Hostinger is its control panel. Just like many other modern web hosting companies, Hostinger also has its own easy-to-use control panel known as hPanel.

Features of Hostinger

Hostinger offers a wide range of features at a very affordable price. Here’s a list of all the main features of Hostinger web hosting company:

Well, there are many more features and other important things about Hostinger that I will share in this post below. For now, it’s time to check how fast the Hostinger is.

Testing Parameters & Speed Test

I am going to test two websites hosted on Hostinger’s India server location to see how fast they are in different countries.

Following are the websites I am going to test:

  • Indian Server Website with Default Speed Optimization
  • Indian Server Website with Advanced Speed Optimization

Actually, I am going to test the original websites, not the demo ones because demo sites usually have very little or no content which cannot give trustworthy results.

As I mentioned in this article above, my 7 websites are currently Hosted with Hostiner and all of them are on Indian servers. But, for this testing, I am using a website with the basic optimization and another one with the advanced optimization.

Indian Server Website Speed with Default Settings

First of all, I checked the speed of one of my websites hosted on Hostinger’s Indian servers with the default settings applied. I tested the speed of this website for Asia / Japan / Tokyo.

After that, I checked the same website speed for Europe / United Kingdom / London. Check the results below.

Upon checking this same website for North America / USA / San Francisco, I got the following speed results.

Indian Server Website Speed with Advanced Optimization Settings

Now, checking another website that is hosted on the same Hostinger’s Indian server but the difference is that this website has some advanced optimizations settings such as Advanced LiteSpeed plugin settings applied, image optimization, Lazyload for media files, and Hostinger CDN.

At first, I checked this website for Asia / Japan / Tokyo. Here are the results.

6 Hostiner Features That I Liked More Than Anything Else

Now, in this Hostinger review, I’m going to share with you my favorite Hostinger features. Due to these features, I chose Hostinger and still using it in 2025 from the last 3 years.

1. Malware Scan and Removal

This is one of the features in high demand these days. Due to increasing security threats and virus injections in WordPress websites, many web hosting companies started providing malware scan and removal features.

Generally, there are some security companies like Sucuri that costs more than $200 for services like malware scanning and removal.

After understanding the needs of the users, web hosting companies like WPX Hosting and Hostinger is providing the malware scan and cleanup facility along with their existing plans without any extra fee.

2. LiteSpeed Servers with Object Cache

Hostinger installs the LiteSpeed cache on all the websites that are hosted on their servers. It also comes with the Object Cache.

The LiteSpeed cache makes your website’s front end fast whereas the Object Cache makes sure that your backend runs fast and smoothly.

3. Easy User Interface

Hostinger has a custom-built control panel known as hPanel. This control panel makes sure each and every Hostinger feature is easily accessible to everyone.

Whether you are a beginner or an expert, its easy-to-use hPanel will help you navigate through every Hostinger feature effortlessly.

From the Hostinger hPanel, you can directly open your WordPress admin dashboard in just a click without even needing a password. So, anytime if you forget the password, you can easily log in through Hostinger hPanel and change the password easily.

4. Server-Level Redirects

Generally, there are only two ways to set up a redirect on a website; using .htaccess file or by using a WordPress plugin.

But, these days some web hosting companies like Kinsta and Hostinger allow users to create as many redirects as possible directly inside their control panel.

With Hostinger, you just need to visit a website dashboard, navigate to Domains from the Main Menu at the left side of the screen, and then select Redirects.

5. DNS Editor

DNS Management is one of the most important features that I believe every web hosting provider should offer but not every hosting is offering it.

Even some premium quality hosting providers like Rocket.net don’t offer DNS Editor with any of their plans.

But, Hostinger, despite being an affordable web hosting company, offers DNS editor with all of their plans. Isn’t it amazing?

6. Cache Manager

Everyone wants a high-speed website, even Google wants it and ranks high-speed websites higher in search results.

This is why I like the Hostinger’s Automatic Cache feature which can be enabled through the Cache Manager.

The Cache Manager feature can be accessed by going inside a website dashboard > Advanced > Cache Manager. Just turn the toggle on and speed up your website. The cache is cleared automatically every 30 minutes.

Alternatives to Hostinger

Despite being one of the most affordable and feature-rich hosting providers, Hostinger may not suit everyone’s preferences or requirements. If you’re looking for alternatives, there are some good options available.

Here are some of the best Hostinger alternatives that I recommend:

1. Bluehost

It is a great alternative for beginners, especially if you are looking for a hosting provider recommended by WordPress.org.

Plans start from $2.95/month and include a free domain for the first year, 24/7 customer support, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. However, Bluehost’s renewal rates are higher compared to introductory prices.

2. DreamHost

Plans start from $2.59/month, offering unlimited traffic and fast SSD storage. DreamHost also provides a 97-day money-back guarantee, making it a risk-free option.

However, some users report that the control panel feels less intuitive compared to other providers.

3. SiteGround

It is known for its customer support and performance. SiteGround’s plans start at $3.99/month.

All of its plans include managed WordPress hosting, daily backups, and advanced security features. The downside is its limited storage space and higher renewal costs.

4. A2 Hosting

Known for its speed and performance, A2 Hosting offers plans starting at $2.99/month. It includes Turbo Servers for faster loading speeds and free site migrations. However, its cheaper plans don’t always include the Turbo features.

5. Cloudways

It’s a managed cloud hosting provider with a pay-as-you-go pricing model starting at $12/month. Cloudways offers excellent scalability and flexibility but may feel complex for beginners due to its advanced features.

When choosing an alternative to Hostinger, consider your specific requirements like budget, performance, scalability, and customer support.
