Vivo X50 pro review : A solid shooter|cheapersites.com

Vivo X50 pro review : A solid shooter

By cheapersites|8 August


  Hey there, This is the new vivo X50 Pro. I guess you could call it a beefed up mid-ranger,or a watered-down flagship device. But either way, the main question is whetherit is worth the recommended retail price of 1099 SGD. So without further ado, let’s dive right in. 


Starting with design and build quality, theyare both excellent to me. The matte finish looks great, and it feelsreally well built, so it’s pretty much like a flagship device. The only downside here is the lack of waterresistance. Screen quality is really good as well. It’s only FHD+ with 90Hz refresh rate, butcolour reproduction and brightness are both pretty good. 


The curved sides make it look a little morepremium, but I personally would still prefer a flat display. There is a fingerprint sensor under the screen,and it works really well. With such a nice looking screen, it’s alittle unfortunate that we don’t get stereo speakers. The bottom firing speaker is loud, but cansound a bit thin. It’s also a bit unfortunate that there isno headphone jack here. Even though it is still packing an AKM audiochip, you need to use an adapter to actually enjoy it. The only consolation is that these passiveadapters are so cheap that you can just buy a bunch of them and leave them connected toyour audio gear. 


Specifications wise, 

it’s packing the Snapdragon765G which isn’t as high end of course, but it does come with plenty of RAM and storage. In terms of performance, while I do noticethe difference in speed compared to even the 855, it’s not that big of a difference tome in day to day use, and it still feels mostly smooth and responsive. It comes with 5G support, which I guess willbe useful once we finally get 5G here in Singapore. Battery life is pretty good as expected becauseof the slightly larger battery, so a day of heavy use is easily achievable. 

It has 33W fast charging as well, which canrecharge the phone from 0 to around 55% in about 30 minutes. But like I mentioned earlier, this is a watered-downflagship device, so there is no wireless charging here.


 The X50 Pro is running FuntouchOS 10.5 basedon Android 10, and it’s a mostly similar experience as the vivo V19 I reviewed earlier. It’s nice that they’re moving towardsa more Android-like user experience, and there are a bunch of useful features built in aswell, but there are still some aspects that I wished they could improve on. Like being able to change the app grid inthe app drawer, or being able to swipe down to access notifications would be nice. But those are relatively minor stuff, andwith the use of a launcher and a bit of tweaking, I think it’s more than usable. The headlining feature of the X50 Pro is undoubtedlyits cameras. To be exact, it’s the new gimbal-like stabilisationsystem on the main camera, which is said to be more effective than the usual optical imagestabilisation. 

            So let’s talk about that first:

For video recording, I found the stabilisationto be decent, but not mind blowing. It’s pretty clear that it still has itslimitations. So while the overall video quality is decent,I think it’s still not quite as good as the latest iPhones. The situation where I found the gimbal stabilisationto be the most useful, is actually when taking photos in low light.


 It is able to capture sharp looking imageseven at slightly slower shutter speeds compared to other phones. Even for Night Mode, where I normally haveto hold the phone steady for a couple of seconds, most of the time the images turn out really well. So as a result, low light performance is actuallypretty great. Shots in good lighting don't really benefitfrom the stabilisation, but they are still quite good looking. Detail retrieval and image processing isn’tthe best when I pixel peep, but colours and dynamic range are both pretty good. 


So no complaints from me here. The X50 Pro also has 3 other cameras on thephone. An ultra wide angle, a portrait, and a periscopecamera. The ultra wide angle camera is decent lookingin good lighting, but the edges can look a little softer. It falls apart pretty quickly in low lightbut using Night Mode does improve image quality. It also works as a macro camera, and it’sactually pretty good. It’s so much better than those 2MP potatomacro cameras. The portrait and periscope camera both havedecent quality in good lighting. For the latter, even though it is able togo up to 60X zoom, it’s pretty much unusable at that range.

 Personally, I wouldn’t go any further than around 10X. In low light, most of the time the phone isjust doing digital zoom with the main camera until it reaches 10X, so it’s not that fantastic looking. Past 10X, it switches to the periscope camera,and Night mode does not work for this camera.

 

          

Coming to Front camera is pretty decent as expected from vivo. It smoothen faces slightly even when beautymode is off, so it’s not the most detailed looking, but I think it does make my skinlook a little better than it really is, so I’m okay with it. Just based on image quality, the main cameraon the X50 Pro is not quite the best in the market, but I think it’s not that far behind either. Then you have those additional cameras thatmakes it a lot more flexible and fun to shoot with. So, as a whole, I think the camera setup hereis still quite good. 


CONCLUSION:

Overall, the X50 Pro is a really competentdevice, and one that I have enjoyed using. It does a lot of the basics right, and thecamera experience is pretty good. However, at this asking price, I really feellike it would be nice to have a few more extra features like water resistance, stereo speakers,and perhaps even a headphone jack.

A2 Hosting Review: By cheapersites|2020


A2 Hosting Review: By cheapersites|2020

A2 Hosting is Faster Than Other Shared Hosting Providers.



A2 Hosting has been around since 2001 and has delivered some of the fastest server speeds we’ve seen over the past 24 months.

Their customer support is efficient, the hosting plans are developer-friendly, and they have a unique “anytime” money-back guarantee.

Uptime has slipped over the past few months, however. And the renewal rates jump pretty aggressively after your first purchase period ends. However, if you need a fast web hosting service at relatively cheap pricing ($2.96/mo) with the ability to scale once your website grows, A2 Hosting might be a very good option.

Here’s an in-depth look at A2 Hosting’s Pros vs. Cons after signing up, paying, and putting it to the test.

General Info & Hosting Overview:



•Pros of Using A2 Hosting:

A2 Hosting is one of the best under-the-radar hosting companies you should know more about.

Their speed is excellent, customer service is friendly, security features are plentiful, refund policy is liberal, and they’re even environmentally conscious on top of it all.

Let’s go through each one by one, so you can see for yourself.

1. Fastest Shared Hosting Provider We’ve Tested (317ms)
You’ll see a recurring theme when you go to A2Hosting.com:

"Speed"

They talk about speed on the homepage. All of the features are designed to make your site “screaming fast.” And even the name of each pricing plan is related to speed (like “Swift” and “Turbo”).

It should come as no surprise that A2 Hosting is, in fact, fast. They’re the fastest shared hosting provider we’ve tested, and they’ve been the fastest for several years now.

That’s no small feat in a world where page loading times could be the difference between keeping a website visitor around or losing them to the competition.

A2 Hosting average load time:


2. Friendly & Efficient Customer Support:
A2 Hosting provides hundreds of articles in their knowledge base if you’d prefer to find a quick answer to your sticking point.

If you prefer speaking to a human, they offer everything from chat to phone and ticket-based help.

We fired up the live chat. Ironically, A2 Hosting’s customer support was a little slow connecting to the live chat session, taking around five minutes to hop on.

But from there, everything was smooth sailing.



A2 Hosting Customer Support Live Chat :-Example:-

Julio was really friendly, answering all of our questions directly within 30 seconds or so. It seemed like he genuinely cared and didn’t need to look every answer up.

It was a good experience overall.

3. Free ‘HackScan’ Keeps Your Site Safe:
Online, speed and security don’t always go well together. That’s because extra scanning, firewalls, or layers of encryption can often slow users down.

A2 Hosting has managed to be lightning-fast while not dropping the ball on security, either.

Their servers are protected by “HackScan,” a 24/7-monitoring service that scans for malware and other attacks day-in, day-out.

The best way to keep your site safe is by preventing issues before they break out.

Their data centers are also scalable, meaning you’re protected if a denial of service attack (DDoS) breaks out. These attacks attempt to flood your servers with traffic and knock your site offline. So A2’s got your back to handle sudden, unexpected surges.

4. Free Site Migrations (1 – 25 Depending on Plan):
A2 Hosting will personally move your existing website over to their servers at no extra charge on all plans.

All you need to do is reach out to their customer support department with your cPanel account credentials, and the rest will be taken care of.

The only catch is the number of sites, based on the plan you’ve purchased. Their terms spell everything out in detail.

Shared hosting customers on the Lite, Swift, and Turbo plans will get a single site moved for free. But if you’re purchasing the reseller, dedicated, or managed VPS hosting, you’ll get 25 free migrations.

Again, this assumes you can provide cPanel access to your existing sites. Otherwise, A2 might take a small fee for the extra work.

5. Content Management Systems (CMS): 
Website Builders, and Developer-Friendly Tools


A2 Hosting works seamlessly with all major content management systems. You can install a WordPress, OpenCart, Drupal, Joomla, or Magento site with just a few clicks. No need for a developer to help you out.

They have a few special features for these sites, like the A2 Optimized WordPress plugin that will come with Turbo plans to keep your site speedy.

A2 optimization plugin

A2 Hosting also has its own website builder, appropriately named SiteBuilder. These are ideal if you’re looking for something a little more user-friendly to customize your site by yourself without having to Google a single HTML tag. Just keep in mind that pricing and plans are a little different for A2’s SiteBuilder (than the normal shared hosting plans).

A2 Hosting’s plans come compatible with a Cloudflare CDN account to, repeat after me, keep your site fast (by loading images and other large files separate from your server).

If you’re a webmaster or agency looking to host dozens of sites under one roof, A2 Hosting comes with developer-friendly tools. You can get admin-level access on servers, free server rewind backups, and multiple versions of everything from PHP to MySQL, PostgreSQL, Python, etc.

6. Anytime Money-Back Guarantee:
A2 Hosting used to have the standard 30-day money-back guarantee like most other hosts we’ve reviewed.

You know the drill with these. Run into any problems or issues within the first 30 days, and you can get a complete refund. No questions asked.


However, A2 Hosting has modified this policy a little over the last few years. And customers are the ones who benefit.

A2 now offers an “anytime” money-back guarantee.

You’ll still get a full refund within the first 30 days. But what if you’re prepaying for three years to get the best deal (more on that later), and you’re unhappy after the first year?

You can still ask for a refund and receive a prorated amount back for the remaining time (so the last two years of your deal).

7. Green Web Hosting:
A2 Hosting’s hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan is known as “Tree Town.” They reportedly have 50,000 trees and 150 parks, according to their site.


a2 green hosting options
So A2 feels a moral obligation to help protect the planet from global warming.

They have partnered with Carbonfund.org to help support renewable energies and reforestation. They also have a “FutureServe” green hosting initiative in place to help offset emissions from their servers.

This shouldn’t be the deciding factor to sign up for a web host. But knowing the company you’re working with cares about the environment is a nice extra perk.

8. Uptime of 99.93%:
The fastest page loading times in the world can’t make up for a site that’s constantly offline.


That might sound obvious, but it’s a critical point. A2 Hosting’s uptime was stellar when we first signed up in 2015. But over the last 24 months or so, we’ve noticed a slight downturn in performance.

•Cons of Using A2 Hosting:

A2 Hosting has a lot of Pros going for it.

However, fast speeds and friendly support can’t make up for everything.

Here’s a look at each of these issues in detail:

1. High Renewal Rates (And 15-Day Deadline):
A2 Hosting features a slight price break on long-term plans. So prepaying for three years will knock a couple of dollars off the monthly price, which can add up over the course of 36 months.

A2 then sweetens the deal for new customers with special introductory pricing that basically cuts the total price in half.


A2 Hosting Introductory Pricing

The problem is that when your initial term expires, automatic renewal will kick in at the “regular” pricing (almost double what you first paid).

Most web hosts pull this same stunt in one form or another. They know if you’re happy with the service overall, it’s probably going to be a huge pain to move your site again before the price increase kicks in.

Here’s the part that doesn’t sit well, though.

According to their terms, you have to submit a written cancellation request “15 days before the beginning of the Renewal Term” through their customer portal or by emailing them at billing@a2hosting.com.

What happens if you miss this 15-day window? You will be on the hook for paying the next renewal plan, which will renew automatically, and you’re not eligible to receive any refund.

In other words, they’re banking on you forgetting to stop your account before it’s too late.

2. Restrictions on Cheapest Plan:
The introductory price for A2 Hosting’s cheapest shared hosting option (“Lite”) is currently $2.96/month (51% off the regular price). That’s not the lowest pricing we’ve seen, but it’s pretty good.

But when you start comparing that price point with what you’re getting (compared to the competition), some issues arise.


This plan only gets you a single website, with unlimited storage, a free SSL, the site migration, and Anytime Money-Back Guarantee.

You don’t get a lot of the great perks that help make A2 a good choice, like Turbo Servers that provide “up to 20X faster page loads,” server rewind or even offsite backups.
Restrictions😞😞

The same issue applies to their website builder plan. The cheapest option that’s similarly priced around ~$4/month only gets you a single page — not nearly enough to create an actual website.

A2 Hosting Pricing, Hosting Plans & Quick Facts
A2 Hosting pricing and plans

A2 Hosting has three pricing tiers for its shared hosting:


Lite plan: This plan starts at $2.96 per month. It comes with enough for one website, five databases, unlimited storage and bandwidth, a free SSL, plus cPanel control access
Swift plan: This plan starts at $3.70 per month. It supports unlimited websites, databases, storage, transfers, SSL certificate, cPanel, and single-site migration.
Turbo plan: This plan starts at $7.03 per month. It comes with everything from the Swift plan, plus Turbo (20X speeds) and the A2 Site Accelerator.

 •Conclusion:-

A2 Hosting has consistently delivered best-in-class speed for the last several years. Their customer support is friendly and helpful. All shared plans come with a free SSL certificate and one free migration. Also, their uptime is not too bad.

And if you run into issues at any time while being a customer, you can ask for a refund on the prorated balance of unused time.

The only downside is that renewal rates are high (and the strict terms aren’t great).

Plus, if you’re paying for the most expensive shared plan to host unlimited websites (“Turbo”), they’ll still only give you one free site migration.

Those final details might not work for some people. 

So,while A2 is quite good, we do recomend it.

DreamHost review 2020-Better than Hostinger and Bluehost


DreamHost review: Is it Better then Hostinger and Hostgater?? 

Lets find-


DreamHost hosts over 1.5 million sites and is nearly 25 years old.



Their performance hasn’t slipped during that time, maintaining above-average uptime (99.94%) and page speeds (648ms).

DreamHost’s main shared hosting plan comes with popular apps like WordPress, website builder options including their own, and others like Wix or Weebly. These plans have unlimited bandwidth and disk space. And you get a full 97-day money-back guarantee to test the service out.

Their customer support is a bit limited, however. Migrations are also a pain, not allowing any imports from other cPanel sites and charging you $99/each.

Here’s a transparent look at how DreamHost has performed over the last 24 months.

General Info & Hosting Overview:


Pros of Using DreamHost Hosting:

DreamHost has above-average speed and uptime with lots of “unlimited” features.

They have a longer than average 97-day refund policy to make sure you’re happy with the service before getting locked in. And when your plan eventually does renew, you won’t have to pay a huge 2-3x price increase, like with many other hosts.

Here’s a deep dive into the results from our hands-on test:

1. Above Average Speed (648ms)

DreamHost’s 648ms average loading time over the past 24 months has been good. It puts them in the upper half of hosts we’ve tested, but well below the top five who have literally cut this average in half (between ~317-405 ms).




The silver lining is that DreamHost has been able to hold this average consistently. In September 2017, they posted a 1,316 ms loading time that had us worrying. But ever since then, things have been smooth sailing. So you should be able to expect the same.

2. Above Average Uptime (99.94%)

DreamHost’s 24-month average uptime is also above average at 99.94%.

That’s a pretty good result, but it’s not even the best part.

DreamHost has an uptime guarantee. Like other hosts, if your monthly average falls beneath that threshold, you’ll get a credit for the cost of the service.

Most uptime guarantees we’ve seen might hover around the 99.98% mark. So these hosts believe and stand behind their services, but they’re also giving themselves a little wiggle room in case normal fluctuations hit.

DreamHost, though, guarantees 100% uptime in their Terms of Service. Keep in mind that scheduled maintenance or user errors aren’t covered in this guarantee.

However, any other DreamHost issue that messes with your site, database, email, or webmail can trigger the guarantee. You’ll get a free day’s worth of service for each hour of service interruption. The only catch is that there’s a 10% max of your “next prepaid hosting renewal fee” (so it applies in the future, as opposed to a retroactive discount or refund).


Last 12-month average uptime:
January 2020 average uptime: 99.99%
December 2019 average uptime: 100%
November 2019 average uptime: 99.80%
October 2019 average uptime: 100%
September 2019 average uptime: 99.99%
August 2019 average uptime: 100%
July 2019 average uptime: 99.64%
June 2019 average uptime: 99.97%
May 2019 average uptime: 99.80%
April 2019 average uptime: 99.92%
March 2019 average uptime: 99.99%
February 2019 average uptime: 99.94%

3. 97-Day Money-Back Guarantee:

The vast majority of all 31 web hosts we’ve reviewed will give you a 30-day refund period. That gives you a full month to test out their services before risking your prepaid amount.

A few hosts, like WebHostingBuzz, will give you 45 days.

And then there’s DreamHost.

Their money-back guarantee is good for up to 97 days. That’s over a full three months to really make sure you’re happy.

DreamHost doesn’t have any hidden terms or hoops to jump through that might jeopardize your refund, either. There are only a few cases where your refund might be deducted or not given, but most are pretty standard.

The first exception is that only credit cards will be refunded. So other payment methods, like check or money order (yes, they accept those), won’t be refunded.

4. High Basic Plan Limits:

DreamHost’s Shared Starter option starts at only $2.59/month. But it comes with a ton of features right out of the gate.

DreamHost features


You get one website with a free domain name, and SSL certificate included. This site can handle unlimited traffic (or bandwidth) and storage.

DreamHost has its own website builder called Remixer, but they also offer access to SquareSpace, Weebly, and Wix in their app library.

You’ll also be able to find Joomla, phpBB, Zen Cart, Drupal, Magento, Shopify, and Tumblr in there waiting for you, too.

WordPress also comes pre-installed. It’s pretty easy to set up on most servers with the one-click install option. However, the fact that it’s immediately ready when you signup is perfect for novice webmasters.

The final bit of good news on these plans is that there’s no longer a delayedVerification.

5. They’re Carbon Neutral (AKA Green):

You can add DreamHost among the list of web hosts who’re trying to be more environmentally conscious.


They’re going above and beyond just offsetting the carbon footprint of their servers, though.

DreamHost green hosting:

Their data centers include “high-efficiency” cooling and processors. They’re also involved in state-level ‘clean wind’ programs to harness renewable resources.


Their offices are LEED and EnergyStar-certified, and everything from lighting to HVAC systems are also energy efficient.

Cons of Using DreamHost Hosting:

1. Good, but Limited Live Chat Support
DreamHost provides the obligatory knowledge base and discussion forums to help customers solve their own issues.

They also claim to offer “24/7 in-house support.” Although, our tests actually revealed the opposite.

In the lower right-hand corner of their screen is a little messaging icon. Click on it, and instead of being met with an open box, you have to select from a few pre-set answers:

DreamHost Live Chat Automated Bot:


In other words, they’re trying to automate the live chat process with something that mimics a phone tree.

We tried bypassing these options to get a sales rep on as soon as possible. But at the time we tried, no one was available.

So not really “24/7” then. These hours overlap with business hours in most time zones in the U.S., but not if you’re in other parts of the world.. 

2.No cPanel (Custom Panel) 
DreamHost doesn’t offer cPanel access to customers. They’ve created their own panel to help you find all the features.

Most inexperienced site owners or bloggers probably won’t care about this fact.


But advanced users might for another reason.

DreamHost doesn’t provide an automated way to import .tar.gz files (the backup option for migrating sites out of cPanel).

So you’re going to have to manually migrate all of your files through FTP and MySQL.

DreamHost Pricing, Hosting Plans & Quick Facts
Here’s a quick overview of DreamHost’s Shared Hosting plans:

DreamHost Shared Hosting Pricing and Plans:

Shared Starter: DreamHosts’s Shared Starter plan costs $2.59/month for three years. It includes one website, a free domain name, unlimited traffic, and a free SSL certificate.

Shared Unlimited: DreamHosts’s Shared Unlimited costs $4.95/month for three years. It includes unlimited websites, a free domain name, unlimited traffic, free SSL certificate, and unlimited email addresses at your domain.

Beyond these two options, DreamHost also offers three Managed WordPress Hosting plans.


DreamPress: Costs $16.95/month for a site that gets up to 100,000 monthly visits. It includes 30 GB SSD storage, unmetered bandwidth, an SSL certificate, and daily backups

DreamPress Plus: Costs $24.95/month for up to 300,000 monthly visitors. It also includes 60 GB SSD storage, unmetered bandwidth, SSL certificate, daily backups, and unlimited CDN (or Content Delivery Network).

DreamPress Pro: is $71.95/month for a million monthly visits, 120 GB SSD storage, unmetered bandwidth, SSL certificate, daily backups, and unlimited CDN.


CONCLUSION:
DreamHost’s performance is pretty good across the board, from reliable uptime to quick loading times.

Their default plan limits are pretty high, offering a bunch of “unlimited” options for disk space, bandwidth, and more.

We also really liked that there’s no price increase when your hosting plan renews.

On the downside, the customer support was pretty limited to only a few certain hours throughout the week. And the paid migrations can really add up, especially when there’s no cPanel offered to automatically move sites yourself.

HOSTINGER review: Is it still best Hosting service website available?

HOSTINGER review: Is  it still best Hosting service website available? 



Hostinger is one among the most cost effective shared hosting providers on the market today.

They started in 2007 as 000webhost.com, a free web hosting service with no advertising. Then, in 2011, the Hostinger web hosting brand was born.

By May of 2014, Hostinger had already exceeded a user base of ten million people. By January of 2017, the user base had grown to 29 million people.

That’s pretty impressive growth in only over a decade. and therefore the company boasts plenty of unlimited and free features. But are all those extra perks truly unlimited and free?

We checked it out for ourselves so you wouldn’t need to , paying for a true , live plan with Hostinger. then , we found out our own website and commenced to watch its performance for quite a year.

Want to understand how good (or bad) Hostinger really is? Let’s take a glance at the pros and cons of this web host.

General Info & Hosting Overview



Pros of Using Hostinger:

Unlimited or free services don’t mean anything if your site can’t stay online.

Our site with Hostinger had strong uptimes, fast speeds, great support, and more.

1. Mostly Good Uptime 99.95%
Uptime is that the most vital thing to see out when considering an internet host.

Hostinger performs pretty much during this area but does have drops in uptime every few months approximately (October, June and should 2019). Overall they perform quite good by keeping their websites up and running.

Last 12-month average uptime:
January 2020 average uptime: 99.95%
December 2019 average uptime: 99.98%
November 2019 average uptime: 99.99%
October 2019 average uptime: 99.65%
September 2019 average uptime: 100%
August 2019 average uptime: 100%
July 2019 average uptime: 100%
June 2019 average uptime: 99.83%
May 2019 average uptime: 99.89%
April 2019 average uptime: 100%
March 2019 average uptime: 99.94%
February 2019 average uptime: 100%


 2. Fast Load Time – 350ms
Fast page loading times are vital for any website user’s experience with a site.

Have you ever tried to open an internet page only to urge stuck expecting the location to load for what looks like ages?

We all have.

Moreover, you almost certainly didn’t stick around for long. If an internet site takes quite three seconds to load, 40% of individuals abandon it, consistent with Neil Patel.

Hostinger boasts servers within the USA, Asia, and Europe (UK). Each is reportedly connected to a 1000 Mbps connection, which ensures that loading times are stable.

How did they fare in our tests?



They also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. So you'll try them out and obtain your a refund if the performance or experience is sub-par.

Be aware that not all products are refundable, and a few products have special refund terms, consistent with Hostinger’s Refund Policy. We’ll save the small print for the cons section below.

4. Multilingual Customer Support
Customer support can either make or break an internet host.

If your site is down for a few reason and you’re unable to urge in-tuned with a customer support person ASAP, you would possibly lose out on plenty of sales.


Hostinger doesn’t disappoint. the corporate offers a multilingual customer support team, live chat, and that they integrated Intercom as their main network .

Live chat is merely accessible if you’re logged into a Hostinger account, though. (See con #1 for more details.) We’re glad that Hostinger offers live chat, but it might make more sense if they offered it to everyone. Accessing the live chat is extremely easy. Once you’ve logged in there's instantly an icon within the bottom right corner of the page.

Hostinger Live Chat button

We had to attend but 1 minute for a talk support agent to attach and another minute for the solution , which was amazing. Mindaugas answered our questions quickly and with great use of language.

Hostinger Live Chat support
Hostinger Live Chat support
Hostinger also features a huge knowledge domain with articles that are short and comprehensive, and you'll find guides, information, and answers to questions by yourself. They even have tutorials (everything from website building to SEO) that include gifs and pictures on the way to do things.

Users can look for articles or choose from three categories within the knowledge base:


  • Website
  • Domains
  • General

5. Free Website Builder and name
Hostinger includes a free website builder (although the favored website builders are better) in their services with any plan you select . There are plenty of different templates to settle on from, too.


Hostinger website templates

Once you’ve chosen a template, you'll customize everything on your pages using the Hostinger website builder.

In addition to the web site builder, free domain names also are available with Premium and Business web hosting plans, which can prevent a touch of cash within the end of the day .

If you would like quite one domain, you'll need to pay extra. More thereon later.

Cons of Using Hostinger:

There’s a lot to love about Hostinger’s loading speeds, uptime, support quality, and features.

Unfortunately, no perfect web host exists and Hostinger, like other hosts, has some flaws. The trick is figuring out which flaws you can live with and which ones are the deal-breakers.

Here’s an overview of what’s not so perfect about Hostinger:

1. Must Be Logged in to Access Live Chat
Hostinger’s live chat option is only available if you’re logged into a Hostinger account.

That means if you’re not a Hostinger customer but you have questions for example about migrating your site over to them, you can’t chat live with a customer service representative.

To get in touch with Hostinger without being logged in, click the “Contact Us” button at the bottom of their site.

Then, you’ll be taken to a page where you can choose whether you’re looking for support to report abuse or to submit a general inquiry ticket.

To submit a ticket, you’ll have to submit your name, email, and your message.

2. No Traditional cPanel
Most hosting services use a traditional control panel, like cPanel.

Hostinger has created its own control panel – new users might find this easier to use than a traditional control panel. However, if you’re already accustomed to using cPanel, you might not like their dashboard.

Therefore, advanced users might not love this part.

3. Nonstandard Payment Terms

  • Hostinger’s Refund Policy reveals a few exceptions to their money-back guarantee.

  • What’s refundable under standard terms:

  • Hosting (all plans, except first payment after Free Trial)
  • Domain Transfers (.eu transfers are an exception. EURid charges a non-refundable transfer fee. If the transfer fails for any reason, the customer must start over and pay the transfer fee again. .es transfers are also non-refundable.)
  • SSL Certificates

What’s not refundable?

Redemption fees, domain name renewals, and privacy protection are not refundable. Most new domain name registrations are only refundable if canceled and processed within four days of registration, not 30 days.

NOTE:
Keep these exceptions in mind before moving forward.

CONCLUSION:

Hostinger provides superb speed. Their uptime has been a little bit inconsistent over the past 24 months, but on average uptime has been strong.

The entry-level, Single-Web Hosting plan doesn’t offer many unlimited perks or free features. The Premium, Cloud Hosting, and Business Web Hosting plans have a lot more to offer. Hostinger also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re unhappy with their service.

Customer support is responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly.

So, we can rely on it for web Hosting service.

Bluehost web Hosting site review 2020

Bluehost review: Is the best Web Hosting site in year 2020?? 

 This Bluehost review relies heavily on data, as well as the overall experience with their hosting features and customer support.


In a nutshell, all Bluehost plans offer their customers 24/7 live chat, unmetered bandwidth, and five email accounts. Similarly to many other website hosting companies, they too offer their new users a free domain for the first year. Their plans start from $2.75/mo and include improved security, backups, and free SSL certificate. These help to keep your blog or website protected and safe.
Overall, their last 24-month performance has been good. Bluehost is clearly at the top with its uptime (99.99%) and a fast load time of 405ms (0.4 seconds).
Read all the “Pros” and “Cons” below:

General Info & Hosting Overview


Uptime is one the most important aspects when choosing a web host – after all, if your site is down, your users can’t access it. So consistently good uptime should be one of your top priorities.
After reviewing 30 web hosts, our benchmark for “good” uptime is 99.93%. That might seem pretty high, but it’s actually even slightly below average. Type those numbers into a calculator, and you’ll quickly see it translates into at least 26 minutes of downtime each month or just over five hours over the course of a year.
So ideally, we don’t want to see anything less than that.
The good news is that Bluehost easily surpasses this benchmark, comfortably keeping our test site live for 99.99% of the time during the last 24 months (2018-2020).
Here’s the monthly breakdown of the past 12-months:
  • January 2020 average uptime: 100% 
  • December 2019 average uptime: 100%
  • November 2019 average uptime: 100%
  • October 2019 average uptime: 99.96%
  • September 2019 average uptime: 99.99%
  • August 2019 average uptime: 99.99%
  • July 2019 average uptime: 100%
  • June 2019 average uptime: 99.98%
  • May 2019 average uptime: 100%
  • April 2019 average uptime: 100%
  • March 2019 average uptime: 99.99%
  • February 2019 average uptime: 100%
Conclusion? Bluehost is one of the most reliable web hosting provider according to our uptime study.

2. Top 5 Website “Load” Speed – 405ms

A report from Google last year found that the vast majority of mobile websites are way too slow.
That’s a problem for two major reasons. Google’s mobile-first index can either elevate or hide your site in user searches based on its loading speeds. Studies show that slow websites almost always translate into lower sales.
So, after uptime, your host’s page loading times are the second most important thing that can literally make or break your site’s success.
We have been keeping track of Bluehost’s performance since February 2018 using a third-party tool, Pingdom. And once again, we were pleased with the results — an average page loading speed of 405ms which places them as the 5th fastest site out of everybody that we’ve tested.

3. Low Introductory Pricing ($2.75/mo)

We’ll look into Bluehost’s full pricing and plans in just a moment.
However, if you were to go check out the starting prices, you’ll notice the lowest advertised price is $3.95/month. That’s a pretty good deal considering they’ve supposedly reduced it already from $7.99/month originally.
For that price, you get pretty much everything you need for a single website. That includes 50 GB SSD storage, unmetered bandwidth, a free SSL certificate, and more.
So you’d be getting a pretty good value for the price, plus their consistent uptime and page loading speeds.
The good news is that we’ve been able to work out a deal with Bluehost for our readers that takes the starting price down even further to $2.75/month.
This is the lowest rate we’ve seen anywhere online (and trust us, our team spends way too much time online as it is). So it’s a great deal if you’re in the market for a new affordable host.

4. Good Security Options

Even though Bluehost is one of the “cheaper” options on the market, we have been pleased to see that they don’t cut too many corners or skimp on critical features like security.
Bluehost provides a lot of good security options by default, including the free SSL certificate for each plan like we mentioned earlier.
All plans also include a domain privacy feature that will help keep the personal information you used to sign up for a domain private. This prevents hackers from finding and using these personal details for phishing schemes to trick you or others into handing over sensitive information.
SiteLock is included to help prevent malware attacks, which are unfortunately fairly common on WordPress sites. CodeGuard is another form for protection, which also provides daily backups so you can roll back previous versions of a site if it does get hacked.
Postini, from Google, is the final security tool worth noting. It provides spam protection for your email, so anything suspicious is prevented from getting in your inbox.
Altogether, this is a pretty decent security package to keep your site safe and sound.

5. Many Integrations, Apps, and eCommerce Features

Beyond the included security features, Bluehost also provides access to a huge number of different apps and integrations so you can use the most popular services on the web.
For example, they have a domain manager if you’d rather just purchase and manage multiple domains through them. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly backups just in case.
You can install WordPress with a single click (more on that in the next section below). You can also install other popular content management systems (CMS) like Drupal, Joomla, run an e-commerce shop, and more.
Plus, Bluehost will even include access to a Content Delivery Network (CDN). These host your images and large files, taking that work off your servers, to deliver them faster to users around the world and keep your site quick at the same time. review relies heavily on data, as well as the overall experience with their hosting features and customer support.
