I had an issue moving my existing website from an expired hosting plan to my active plan. Mercedes was extremely friendly, helpful and professional. She sorted everything out quickly, kept my website exactly as it was. I'm really happy with the support I received. Thank you so much, Mercedes!

Great Solid hosting that suits businesses of all sizesvalue and flexibility

Great value and flexibility, with room to grow (4/5) Hostinger offers a wide range of hosting packages for businesses of every size and requirement, from individuals launching their first website to growing companies that need more resources. It is clearly heading toward a dominant position in the online web hosting market. What I liked: Variety of plans: Shared, cloud, VPS and WordPress hosting make it easy to start small and upgrade as your business grows. Pricing: The plans are very affordable compared to many competitors, which is a big advantage for small businesses and startups. Ease of use: The dashboard is clean and beginner-friendly, so setting up a site, domain, and email takes little technical knowledge. Performance: My site loads quickly, and uptime has been reliable. Support: The support team is available around the clock and generally responds quickly. Why four stars, not five: There is still some room for improvement. Renewal prices are higher than the introductory rates, and a few advanced features could be more flexible. I would also like to see even more detailed support documentation for advanced users. Verdict: Overall, Hostinger delivers excellent value for money and caters to nearly every type of user. I would recommend it to anyone looking for reliable, budget-friendly hosting, and I expect it to keep growing in this market.

Value for money

So far hostinger has delivered great value for money, we are an affiliate network with over 500 sites having used countless of hostig provides. And when it comes to budget hosting hostiger is the best. I read some bad reviews about customer support. I have not needed to contact support yet so I cant comment on that.

I'm looking for a place where I can deploy a test NodeJS application and a React application. There's not a lot of code and no database connectivity. A fixed dedicated IP address is a requirement. Can I do this if I choose a shared web hosting plan or should I go for a virtual private server? CPU, disk space, speed requirement minimal, but there should the possibility to scale up.

Hi Risto, Node.js is not supported on Hostinger's Shared and Cloud hosting packages. If you want to use Node.js, you can install this useful feature on one of our VPS plans! You can check them at hostinger.com/vps-hosting
