Pressable vs Hostinger: WordPress Features

For a budget-friendly hosting option, Hostinger does include some nice hosting features such as a free domain, website builder, CDN, and SSL. However, if you’re looking to get premium WordPress hosting features, then Pressable is the better option. With Pressable, you get their optimized WordPress environment, 100% Uptime Guarantee, Auto-Scaling Resources, WP Cloud Platform, CDN with Edge Caching, Website Cloning and Staging, and Expert WordPress Support. We also found their website propagation to be superior.

I also prefer Pressable’s data backup and restore functionality over Hostinger. With Pressable, you get daily automatic backups as well as the ability to perform on-demand backups. With Hostinger, you only get weekly backups with their entry-level plan–although you do get daily backups with their Business and Cloud plans.

When it comes to WordPress hosting features, Pressable is the winner.

Pressable vs Hostinger: Speed and Performance

While Hostinger provides impressive website speed and performance, in this head to head comparison Pressable is the winner. Pressable’s optimized WordPress environment with edge caching, CDN, and WP Cloud Platform results in superior performance, page loading, and core web vitals. In both our direct speed testing and my personal experience using both Pressable and Hostinger, I can concur that if speed and performance is your number one criteria, then Pressable is the best choice.

Here are some of our sample test results from GTmetrix.

Pressable vs Hostinger: Customer Support

Both Pressable and Hostinger offer excellent customer support. However, we found Pressable’s live chat support response times to be superior. Although you are initially connected to their automated bot chat, you can usually connect with a live support agent within a minute or two. By contrast, the stated wait time for a response from Hostinger is 10 minutes. At times, it took longer than that to get a response.

Once you connect with a support agent, both of these web hosts score high with issue resolutions. However, because of their faster response times, Pressable is the winner in this category.

Recommendation

Overall, in this comparison of Pressable vs Hostinger, Pressable is the winner.

Hostinger is a viable option if you need low cost quality WordPress hosting. However, if you need more premium features, faster website performance, and more responsive support for mission-critical WordPress websites—whether you’re an individual business or WordPress agency—then Pressable is the better choice.

Although Pressable does cost more, they would be our recommendation here. See our review ratings below.
