Who should buy Hostinger?
Beginners and WordPress website owners that need fast website hosting at a low price (including renewal rates) should consider Hostinger. In our testing, Hostinger performed extremely well with fast page loading and good core web vitals. However, keep in mind that Hostinger is better suited towards light to moderate traffic sites. Unfortunately, Hostinger did not perform well in our load testing. So, if you expect heavy traffic and traffic spikes, it’s not the best fit.
Who shouldn’t buy Hostinger?
Heavy traffic WordPress sites and mission-critical applications would be better hosted by a managed WordPress host or Cloud VPS. As I mentioned above, while Hostinger performed well in our isolated tests, they struggled with our load testing with 250 clients.
