Web host REVIEWS

James Capell is just the guy to try out a web host that’s easy enough for your granny to use.

H ostinger is web hosting provider that caters to everyone from home users with little to no web hosting experience all the way to seasoned web devs. For this review, we used the most basic plan to see what Hostinger has to provide for a range of users . We built a test site, explored its custom control panel, tested support, monitored speeds and uptime, and compared our results with the competition. Hostinger has put a lot of effort into making its shared hosting experience as seamless and beginner-friendly as possible. From the minute you sign up, it walks you through every step with very clear and easyto-follow instructions that can help complete novices get their website up and running. With the inclusion of additional features such as page speed monitoring, malware scanning and analytics, it makes sure you can manage every aspect of your website directly from Hostinger’s hPanel. For beginners, it goes above and beyond the industry standard control panel cPanel and does a good job of hiding away confusing techy stuff, presenting everything in a logical manner. When it comes to VPS offerings, you’re on your own. VPS tend to be aimed at people with experience setting up and managing servers, and in exchange for far more performance for your money, you need to know how to run and manage the server yourself.
