The Hostinger AI Builder is the best

The Hostinger AI Builder is a game-changer and time saving for me. I had been through three web hosting companies and Hostinger is the fourth and hopefully the last.

Plan upgrade broke my client's site and nobody will fix it or refund it

On Oct 16 I paid to upgrade to Cloud Startup. Hostinger's server transfer that same night left my client's nonprofit dog rescue site failing about half of all connections: SSL errors, "403 Forbidden" pages and FTP logins that randomly fail.

Hostinger's own agent confirmed the cause (one of the servers behind the site's IP was never set up for my account) and that the SSL certificate has failed 26 times. Even so, after more than 36 hours no engineer has fixed it (ticket #24576531). Chat agents reinstalled SSL three times with no change, told me to clear my cache, and emailed me screenshots of the site loading as if that proved it works.

I have now waited over an hour in live chat just to get a refund for the upgrade, and the agent only tells me the team is "still working on it." This site takes adoption applications for rescue dogs, so every hour matters. There's no phone support, and the AI assistant keeps sending me back and forth between chat and email.

I upgraded expecting better service. Instead the upgrade broke a working site and support has been unable to fix it or refund it.

Expensive Hosting, Disappointing Support

I purchased Hostinger today, and my experience has been extremely disappointing.

The biggest problem is the lack of accessible human support. I couldn't find a clear way to create a support ticket, contact a support representative, or even find a support email address. Everywhere I looked, I was directed to AI chatbots.

The AI support is frustrating and ineffective. Instead of resolving my issue, it keeps taking me around in circles with repetitive questions and generic suggestions that don't solve the actual problem. I spent time trying to get help, but I still don't have a solution.

What makes this even worse is that Hostinger has increased its prices while, in my experience, the quality and accessibility of support have gone in the opposite direction. What is the point of paying for hosting if you cannot get meaningful assistance when something goes wrong?

AI can be useful for basic questions, but it should not become a barrier between paying customers and real human support. Customers need a clear way to speak with a knowledgeable support representative when automated suggestions fail.

I purchased the service today, and I'm already questioning whether it was worth the money. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Hostinger to anyone who expects reliable customer support.

Higher prices, inaccessible human support, and an AI chatbot that fails to resolve the issue. A very disappointing experience.

Hello there!

Thank you for your feedback — we really appreciate your honesty, especially on your very first day with us, as it helps us get better.

We'd like to clarify how our support works, because human help is absolutely available. The Hostinger AI agent is the first line of support, but that doesn't mean there is no human support. To keep waiting times to a minimum and make troubleshooting efficient, the AI agent assists you while human specialists oversee conversations in the background. When the AI agent says "a specialist from the team has personally reviewed your case," it means your question was genuinely escalated, a human specialist reviewed it, and updated the AI agent so it could share the findings with you. Most importantly — you can request to speak with a human agent directly in the chat at any time, and the conversation will be transferred, you just need to repeat the request a few times.

That said, your experience of going in circles is exactly what we want to avoid, and your feedback has been shared with the responsible team so we can improve how the AI agent handles cases like yours.

We can see that in your last chat, you were transfered to our human specialist, and they clarified what could be the cause of your issue. If you still have questions, you can continue that chat at any time directly from your account while you are logged in.

Best regards,
Karolina from Hostinger

They suspended my website for no clear reason, and when I try to contact support, you hide behind a useless AI chatbot that won’t even let me talk to a real person. What kind of garbage service is this? You’re quick to suspend websites but too cowardly to let your customers speak to a human. Absolutely pathetic!

Hostinger caused our production VPS to be down for 27 hours now due to their infrastructure maintenance, while their support is responding with AI generated responses, while sometimes not reacting for 1+hour at all.

Hello Dominik,

Thank you for your feedback — we really appreciate your honesty, as it helps us get better.

To explain what happened: after a Linux kernel vulnerability was detected, our services entered emergency maintenance to protect your data and servers. Work of this scale takes time, and we fully understand how serious extended downtime is for a production environment — all systems are now fully operational.

Regarding support: the Hostinger AI agent is the first line of support, but that doesn't mean there is no human support. To keep waiting times to a minimum and make troubleshooting efficient, the AI agent assists you while human specialists oversee conversations in the background. When the AI agent says "a specialist from the team has personally reviewed your case," it means your question was escalated, a human specialist reviewed it, and updated the AI agent so it could share the findings with you. You can also request to speak with a human agent directly in chat at any time. That said, your feedback about the response times during this period has been shared with the responsible team.

To make sure that all your questions have been fully addressed, we have assigned a dedicated specialist to your case, and they have already sent you a detailed update regarding this. If still have any questions feel free to let them know.

Best regards,

Increase transparency on AI credit usage

Please make AI credit usage more transparent and visible.
There's 3 different kind of AI credits, I mean already this is suboptimal (app. this will change soon though); and slightly irritating: it's not detailed on the billing page or main menu or such, in fact it's quite well hidden... As a result, clients can't easily track, how much credits are used for which action; so they're actively taking away control.
Also as far as I can see, there's no page, to submit feature requests; so the products in itself, aren't bad, and not super expensive either, but it's a black box.
Updated this review since I got quick feedback where my concerns were adressed, app. they're working to improve this. Let's see what comes out.

Hello there!

Thank you for your feedback — input like this is exactly what helps shape the best possible experience for our clients.

We have good news to share: we've already released an update that unifies credits across all the AI tools we offer. This means there's no longer a need to juggle multiple credit types, making usage much simpler to understand and keep track of.

We also appreciate your point about submitting suggestions. While there isn't a dedicated feature-request page, your ideas absolutely reach our product teams: you can share them anytime via live chat with our AI agent, and both AI Builder modes have built-in feedback options — in Manual mode, you'll find it in the left sidebar, and in Agentic mode, in the hamburger menu at the top left. You can also follow upcoming and planned updates on our public roadmap: https://www.hostinger.com/roadmap

It's great to hear you find value in the products themselves — and with the unified credit system now in place, we hope the experience feels much more transparent. If you have any further questions, our Customer Success Team is available 24/7.

Best regards,

Hostinger Horizons is a waste of money

Hostinger Horizons is a waste of money. You have to use credits for EVERYTHING! AI wastes so many credits repeatedly failing to do simple tasks. You'll use your whole monthly allowance (70 credits or now 3500 credits) just trying to do one thing.

Hello there!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Feedback like yours is exactly what helps us improve our services and create a better experience for our customers.

We’re sorry that credit usage in AI Builder Agentic mode has felt unpredictable. We’ve shared your comments with the responsible team, and we’d also like to look into your specific case.

We sent you a contact request earlier but haven’t received a reply, so we haven’t been able to find your account. To move forward, please send us a customer support message in chat and include the email address you use for your Hostinger account, so we can look into this for you.

Our Hostinger AI agent is the first line of support, but that doesn’t mean there is no human support. Human specialists oversee conversations in the background, and customers can always ask to speak with a human agent directly in chat.

Brisa was great! She stayed engaged until my issues were fully resolved.

I ran into a dead-end with the AI support agent on Hostinger, and Brisa steps in and figured it all out. The AI agent did a pretty good job of diagnosing the issue, and handed over to a human at the right time. Once Brisa got involved, she reviewed the notes, confirmed what I was trying to do, answered my questions, and stuck with the problem until it was completely resolved. She was wonderful to deal with, and if I needed help again, I would hope to get her or someone just as great. Thanks!

We purchased a domain

We purchased a domain, and when I checked the domain information just an hour later, I found GoDaddy details associated with it. Their AI support was unable to provide any clear explanation of how GoDaddy nameservers could be associated with the domain I had purchased.

To make matters worse, the AI support agent eventually claimed that since I had not completed the domain setup, the domain registration had not been completed either. **What a joke!**

This has been a truly pathetic experience. I am now struggling to get a refund after wasting my time trying to resolve an issue that their support team could not properly explain.

I would not recommend their services to anyone looking to purchase or manage a domain.

Hello Rakesh,

Thank you for describing your experience — we'd like to bring some clarity to what happened.

After a domain is purchased, there is one more essential step: completing the domain setup and verification. This step finalizes the registration and fully secures the domain under your details. We can see that you have since requested a refund, which has already been submitted and processed on our end .

If you have still any questions in the meantime, our Customer Success Team is available 24/7 and happy to help at any time!

Hostinger is hands down the worst web…

Hostinger is hands down the worst web hosting company I have ever dealt with. They automatically canceled my newly purchased domains without any legitimate reason under the name of a "safety review."
When I tried to contact support, I was trapped in a loop of useless AI bots. To make matters worse, instead of resolving the issue or providing a refund, they unilaterally SUSPENDED my entire account and blocked my payment methods, falsely claiming "high risk of misuse"!
To get my own money back, they are demanding KYC identity verification documents. They take your money instantly, block your account without human review, and hold your funds hostage.
Their support is completely automated, unhelpful, and frustrating. I have managed dozens of websites on GoDaddy and Bluehost and never faced such pathetic service. Save your time, money, and sanity—stay far away from Hostinger!

Hello Nitesh,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We will be glad to clarify this situation more for you!

Firstly, we would like to clarify how our support works. The Hostinger AI agent is the first line of support, but that does not mean there is no human support. To keep waiting times to a minimum and make troubleshooting efficient, the AI agent assists you while human specialists oversee conversations in the background. When the AI agent says "a specialist from the team has personally reviewed your case," it means the question was escalated, a human specialist reviewed it, and updated the AI agent so it can share the findings with you. You can also always request to speak with a human agent directly in chat.

Regarding the issues you mentioned - your newly purchased domains did not pass our safety review, and as a result, they were canceled and automatically refunded. Regarding your account status: restrictions were applied following a review conducted on our own initiative, which identified account activity posing a high risk of misuse of our services. We never take such decisions lightly — they are made to protect our platform and users, and this restriction is in accordance with Hostinger's Terms of Service, specifically the sections on Prohibited Activities and Service Restrictions. However, if you still have any active domains with us, you are free to submit a request to transfer them out by contacting our Customer Support team.

Best regards,
Karolina from Hostinger
