The honest part
Where Hostinger is stronger
If one of these is what you need, they are the better choice and you should take it.
A 30 day money back window. We do not offer one, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Monthly billing. We are annual only, so they are the easier first purchase.
Datacentres in the UK, France and the Netherlands, all materially closer to Lagos than our Sydney region.
The other side
Why people look for a Hostinger alternative
Renewal shock is the single most common complaint in their public reviews.
Reports of sudden suspensions, with backups withheld until the account is settled.
