Hostinger – European web hosting
Lithuanian web hosting giant serving 29 million users in 178 countries. Affordable shared, VPS and cloud hosting with a custom control panel and strong European infrastructure.
Quick facts
The custom hPanel is genuinely fast and uncluttered next to cPanel, and renewal-friendly pricing keeps shared hosting cheap even as you scale up to VPS or cloud plans.
Introductory prices are attractive but renew significantly higher after the first term, and support runs through live chat and tickets only – no phone line if something breaks at 2am.
Why does it score 76?
Incorporated in Vilnius, Lithuania – a full EU member state.
Majority-owned by private equity firm ConHostinger since 2021, which the founding Klaba family no longer controls.
Hostinger runs its own infrastructure for most plans, though some tiers use Google Cloud.
GDPR-compliant, but the platform isn't open source, which keeps the accountability score modest.
