Review Hosting : Hostinger

After Using Hostinger for the last 7 months, I moved to a new host Today. So, I though to write down my Experience. Hostinger is a Web host on which my blog was hosted for last 7 months. Through the Article I’ll be focusing on its “Web Hosting” services only. As Hostinger Provides a Wide Range of services Ranging From Web Hosting, Domain name, Server, SSL etc. Hostinger got my Attention through a Google Adwords advertisement while I was Searching For Free Web Hosting. The First thing Which got my Attention was Its Sign Up ease. Within a Few clicks You can Register with Your Facebook/Google Account. After This You can Log-in Using the same Account From the Home Page. And You can’t miss the Auto-Installer Feature with which you can Install various Scripts Such as WordPress, Joomla, Online E-Store Etc in a Single Click. Some of Its Prime Feature Includes :

Hostinger #1 Adding Your Domain
To Enjoy the Benefits of Hosting Such as File Manager, FTP, Web Mail Etc You need to Add your Domain to Hostinger. If you Buy a domain from Hostinger there is no need of modifications. But As I used a Net4 Domain I Needed to Make some Modifications before Starting. To Register Your Domain With Hostinger, You need to change some NS Records (If you are Not Using Domain name From Hostinger). After Pointing Your Domain NS Records to Hostinger’s You’ll be Ready to Go.

Hostinger #2 Professional Email : Web Mail
If you are Using a Email Like : Yourusername@gmail.com or Yahoo, Rediffmail or Any other, You can use a Professional Email of Your Domain name. For Example My Domain name was Hacknovations.org and I created a Web Mail : rachit@hacknovations.org which was 500GB in Storage <Not Bad !> and ready to send, receive Emails. And With Email Forwarding Feature you can let your Emails sent to Professional Email to your Personal Email Box. I used a Email Forwarding service which forwarded all my Emails from editor@hacknovations.org to beingrachitsk@gmail.com.

Hostinger #3 Auto Installer : Install Whatever You Like !
With the Auto Installer Available in the Dashboard you can Install any scripts you like on Your Domain. You can install nearly anything or any script available online. You can Install Popular CMS <Content Management System> such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Website Baker, Moodle and much more. The list of these further contain Forum, SEO tools, Community building Tools, Survey Tools and Photo And Files Managers. All of these could be Installed within a Click ! In one of my Articles I provided a complete tutorial about Making a Free WordPress Self Hosted Blog, In the Article also I used Hostinger’s services.

Hostinger #4 Instant Support and Help
It is said that If you are working on a Big goal you will face big obstacles. While maintaining my Website, I encountered several problems. It is very easy to get support on Your Problem through a Ticket system, You Start a Ticket send them a Question and They would answer you. Now the Question arises, In How much time would they Help ? The answer lies which account you have. If you have a Free account you would be replied in 3-4 days While If you are using any Paid service you would be replied in 1-4 Hours. After Your Problem Solves you can close the Ticket. Also the Knowledge base Contains answers to some Questions users have already asked, Half of your problems would already be solved there.
