One of the fastest growing hosts — competitive on price and performance.
In our independent evaluation across 7 scored dimensions, Hostinger earns an overall score of 84/100 — a strong result in the web hosting category. The platform is available starting at $1.99/month, positioned at the affordable end of the market. The score of 84 places it in the good tier of our web hosting rankings, where we assess tools on criteria that matter to builders: performance, uptime, price / value, and more. Hostinger built its own custom control panel (hPanel) instead of licensing cPanel, which keeps costs down but means anyone coming from a cPanel-based host elsewhere faces a short relearning curve.
Hostinger scores highest on Price / Value (95/100) and Uptime (91/100), placing it among the stronger performers in those areas within the web hosting category. The dimensions with the most room for improvement are Scalability (65/100) and Support (70/100) — teams who weight these criteria most heavily should compare Hostinger carefully against alternatives before committing. The pricing structure is straightforward for the category — factor in any usage-based overages when budgeting at scale. Our recommendation: Hostinger is worth a serious evaluation for teams that prioritise price / value — use the radar chart and dimension breakdown on this page to see at a glance whether its profile matches your priorities.
Pros
Cons
Hostinger is the right choice for teams that prioritise price / value above everything else — the dimension where Hostinger scores highest. Skip it if scalability is a hard requirement for you, since Hostinger scores only 65/100 there — in that case, the web hosting category page ranks every alternative by that specific dimension so you can find a closer fit. For most other use cases, the 84/100 overall score reflects a tool that holds up well in day-to-day use.
