Part ONE: Services provided by Hostinger
Hostinger was founded in Lithuania in 2004. And reached a milestone of one million users in 2011. At present, Hostinger has grown to include several affiliated companies. The company and its branches are supported by data centers in seven countries. Hostinger has provided services to more than 29 million users, and more than 10,000 new registrations are added every day. The following are the services that Hostinger can provide:
1. Global loading speed rating; 2. Uptime guarantee; 3. Online customer service; 4. Free SSL certificate; 5. WordPress function management Hosting type: shared, cloud hosting, VPS (Virtual Private Server) 6. Basic functions of shared hosting: 1 website, 10GB SSD storage, 100GB bandwidth, LiteSpeed cache plugin, weekly backup;7.Low price: 2.19$/mo.
Is Hostinger’s low price worth buying? I think it’s worth it, not a bargain at a bargain price
Seeing the price of hoatinger, I think in terms of website hosting, Hostinger is currently the cheapest option on the market, the price is as low as 2.19$ per month. Almost no company can sell virtual hosting services at this price. Because most companies provide basic plans that are five times the price.
Low price means a scam? Maybe you think this is a scam, but it is not. Even, I can tell you a little secret now. If you buy hostinger’s multi-year plan, you can get a more favorable price.
If the price of a service is low, the service is great. I think your choice will be wise. Because your website visitors will not care how much you pay for the host. Friends who are familiar with website construction should know that what customers really care about is the loading speed and the quality of the content. Both must satisfy customers to be able to visit your website when they need it. And now every viewer wants his personal data to be protected.
Faced with these service requirements, can Hostinger provide it? Next, let’s see if hostinger can satisfy everyone. Website Planet supports multiple languages. In the face of local tests in multiple regions, the answer is: Hostinger performed very well.
Part Two:Features of Hostinger
Considering the low price of hostinger. I was wondering whether it would save costs in two areas. Considering that Hostinger’s price is so low, I immediately determined that Hostinger might be playing tricks in two areas: functionality and performance. However, I think everyone is happy to pay half the cost of the competitor, but not only get half of the service.
Happily, Hostinger is not like this at all. Hostinger’s plan provides everything needed: sufficient resources and high-performance tools.
Hostinger offers three services: Shared hosting plan-single site, premium and business plan. Each plan can be used in conjunction with Hostinger’s own control panel hPanel. You can easily install WordPress and many other content management system (CMS) features automatically.
Next, we take the basic plan as an example to introduce some product features. The basic plan comes with 10GB of hard disk space, 100GB of bandwidth, an email account, and support for a single website. These features are enough to build a very good website. For example, you can host hundreds of pages and thousands of high-definition pictures. Such configuration resources are definitely sufficient to display your articles, ideas, products, services, or any content you plan to host.
We can see that the basic hosting plan can guarantee the use of all programs, which is indeed excellent value for money.So would the other two more advanced programs be better? The answer must be yes. Premium and business plans provide unlimited bandwidth, unlimited number of email accounts and websites. Some other features that the single site plan does not include: support for senior Linux developers to access SSH, unlimited subdomains, and unlimited databases. Daily automatic backup is a key feature missing from the basic plan, which means you have to perform backups manually or purchase services separately.
It should be added that Hostinger does have a drag-and-drop website builder called Zyro, but the hosting plan does not provide it.
hPanel is Hostinger’s control panel, it has everything you need. From simple automatic installation and DNS zone configuration to email accounts, file managers and MySQL databases, they are all very similar to the functions provided by cPanel.
But…some places are different. For example, the automatic installation of cPanel is done through Softaculous. Softaculous also allows you to clone a site, set up a pre-release version, and even configure a backup plan. hPanel’s automatic installer does a good job of automatically installing WordPress, but it lacks these useful features.
hPanel also lacks advanced e-mail features, such as mailing lists, filters, and routing. In fact, when the control panel provides these functions, I have never used them. I don’t know which users will use these functions. But this is hPanel-it may not meet all requirements, but it is definitely sufficient for most users.
LiteSpeed web server provides a powerful cache
LiteSpeed is not a physical physical server, but the web server technology used by Hostinger. LiteSpeed has always been considered one of the fastest and most reliable web servers, and its performance is better than the old Apache technology that GoDaddy is still using.
You don’t need to do any configuration, just enjoy the first-class performance it provides, especially for WordPress sites.
LiteSpeed caching is the most useful feature for websites
You can and should activate LiteSpeed’s caching feature, LSCache. Sounds like a need for technology? In fact, all you have to do is turn on the “Automatic Cache” option. It will create a cached copy of the page for the website, thereby greatly reducing the load time for visitors. Static pages (such as business pages and works) will be greatly improved.
There is no doubt that you can obtain an SSL certificate, and you need an SSL certificate. why? Because there is no SSL certificate to encrypt and protect the visitor’s data, it will not only bring risks to the security of your project and visitors, but also cause the website to rank very low in Google search results.
Part Three: Performance
In the test conclusions of many people, we can understand that Hostinger is one of the fastest shared hosting services.
Most people may only have two requirements for shared hosting services: speed and uptime. However, due to practical reasons, shared hosting services are often lacking in these two aspects. The reason for this result is that you are sharing resources with many other users and their websites, sometimes as many as hundreds. Therefore, only out-of-the-box shared hosting service providers can balance everything. And avoid the following situations in the process of customer use: everything is slow, and users are not satisfied.
Hostinger’s performance tests are basically excellent, and surpassed most shared hosting, including the first-line brands that everyone has a good reputation: SiteGround, FastComet and InMotion hosting. Through the test, only two hosts performed better with a few advantages, namely the premium version of Liquid Web (Nexcess) and Kinsta. But what we have to see is: Hostinger’s price is about 20 times lower than theirs. Comparison of advantages and disadvantages, I think the price advantage is obvious. Please choose hostinger for a chance and you will get a successful shopping experience.
According to the feedback from shared hosting users, if you want to optimize Hostinger’s website, you just need to ask the support staff to help. The support staff will advise you on the easiest and most convenient way: you update WordPress and PHP to the latest version, and install some common optimization plugins.
In any case, in addition to some guarantees that are vague in legal terms, Hostinger’s high performance does surprise users. I love Hoatinger very much.
Part Four: Price
Undoubtedly, the Hostinger price has the cheapest long-term plan price on the market
To be sure, as a newbie as a website builder, you don’t have a budget and you need a shared hosting that is simple to operate and inexpensive. This is why you chose to read this article. What I want to express is the price of 2.19$/mo, which is really impressive.
Hostinger wants you to buy a long-term plan and is willing to offer discounts to attract you. There are four payment terms in the plan: monthly, yearly, every two years, and every four years. The last one refers to the four-year plan, and almost no one buys it, because almost no other host requires you to subscribe for such a long time.
In terms of value, as long as SSL is included, these plans are fully comparable to industry standards. In addition, Hostinger has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you will hav
e enough time to test the service yourself to see if it is suitable.
One thing to note during the checkout process is that there are some optional additional services. Fortunately, none of them are checked by default. I suggest you skip all.
You can buy it again at the same price later. Or “persuade” the support staff to offer you a better price, threatening to cancel the service may be useful.
Need a free domain name? Sometimes a free domain name is included in the plan, sometimes not. A premium plan purchased for a year or more usually comes with one. When I purchased it, a domain name was also included in the basic plan.
As for payment, in addition to the generally supported credit card and PayPal options, you can also use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to make payments. No matter what reason you want to host your website anonymously, cryptocurrency is a great way.
