Really disappointed by their auto-payment policy. Even my Auto-Renewal was off they charged full fee on resubscription and I had to pay tax on it too. The company is not taking responsibility and not refunding my FULL AMOUNT including tax.
I just want to know if a customer has an auto-renewal option off why do they initiate a payment? It's not my fault that tax and subscription fee is deducted from my account. I NEED MY FULL PAYMENT BACK!

Dear Hadyia,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us identify improvement opportunities so we can do our best to deliver a solid and reliable service.

We investigated this situation and noticed that auto-renewal was active in your account, and the hosting renewal was triggered. It is always possible to check the status and deactivate it inside the hPanel and, to make sure our customers have all the time needed to deactivate it if they don't wish to proceed with it, we also notifiy them in advance via email. If you have any further thoughts you'd like to share with us, don't hesitate to do so via quality@hostinger.com. After all, without our customers' feedback, we wouldn't be able to improve.

Best wishes,
Team Hostinger

Don't Do It
July 20, 2024

Absolutely appalling company, unable to migrate my website. I keep having massive issue like Too Many Redirects and had to keep pointing the Nameservers back to my old hosting which I had to extend to keep my website running. Every time you have an issue, theres a new agent dealing with it, its just a mess. It's been 3 months and they're declining my refund even though they're incompetent to move a single website, and when you ask for the refund they flat out ignore the question. I was with A2 for 8 years but the problems I have with Hostinger the past 3 months are unreal. If you respect your websites, look for another company.

Not all good news
March 7, 2023

I purchased hosting in January 2023. Migration was very quick. Hosting is fast (faster than two previous providers).
However, customer service sees you talking to numerous people as each reply is answered by another Hostinger employee and not all of them are as consistent or clued up as they might be.
The worst is the Finance Team and billing issues. Despite them agreeing the amount charged was incorrect they refused to refund the error. Instead, assuring me that it would be correct next time it was billed!
What was a good initial experience is now a bad one.
Be very careful about charges. Check and check again and take screenshots as Hostinger's Finance Team don't do refunds. Once they have your money its gone. I found out too late.

Cancelled service in three days after setting it up. Trial is backed by 30 days return policy.
Upon request by the hosting Co I sent required payment information (they cannot located it). Eventually Company found that I paid but apologizing once more and asking me to continue sending proofs but now to another email. Though cancellation email clearly advised what email to use for cancellation. What a mess!

Run away from Hostinger while you can. Zero Stars
February 24, 2023

A big criminal scam done by these hostinger crooks. NOTICE. They ripped off all their customers, over and over again. AVOID IT.
Run away from Hostinger while you can
Firma Hostinger sold unlimited paid plans for several years, which in 2018 cut sharply and forced all customers to accept the cuts without complaint, pushing them towards alleged upgrades and abusive and dictatorial terms of service, all manipulated and cut at the will of accommodation. A big scam done by these hostinger crooks. The latest hack was the Websitebuilder included in the plans which has now been abducted and does not allow users to edit their websites. NOTICE. They ripped off all their customers over and over again. AVOID.

Be careful using this company, They can and do suspend your website for not updating your plugins as well as blocking parts of their site to you and in spite they put you on a slow server making it impossible to do anything. This week I've had 2 websites suffer this very issue. I'm off to another hosting company. Hottinger deactivated all my plugins and removed them from my site, making my site dead. And 2 days ago they suspended another one of my websites because my plugins were not getting updated automatically.
Would you really want to trust a company like that with your website?

Scam
September 25, 2023

I paid for a domain registration and after the payment was made the domain wasn't registered and had "Reviewing" status. There wasn't any information about any kind of reviewing before I paid. I wrote to support and told to make a refund as I didn't want to wait for the completion of the review. Support told me they can make a refund only to my account balance because I paid via crypto. And I don't want it on my balance. It's my money and I want it where it came from - on my crypto wallet. So if you pay with crypto they just steal your money, they won't return it to your wallet if they refuse to provide you their services for some reason. Also they don't inform customers about domain names reviewing before customers make payments

Hello, Anais,

While it's heartbreaking to hear about your dissatisfaction, we thank you for sharing your voice. We aim to ensure everything's clear!

As a domain reseller, Hostinger must abide by the Registrar's (the organization that manages domains) rules, including our responsibility to monitor how our services are used. To learn more about this process, you can check our Domain Registrant Agreement (hostinger.com/domain-registrant-agreement).

Due to their volatile and transitory nature, refunds from payments made with cryptocurrency are only available to your Hoatinger Balance, as stated in our Refund Policy (hostinger.com/refund-policy). You also have the option of registering another.xyz domain with this value, so let our Customer Success Team know what's the best option for you, and we'll be happy to proceed with it.

All the best,
Team Hostinger

I had a terrible customer service experience with Hostinger. The customer service executive couldn't provide me with satisfactory answers, and when I asked for more details, they simply asked me to email them, saying their team would respond. I waited for six hours and still haven't received a reply.
