Hostinger vs. Network Solutions

Around 1 year ago my website was under attack of dos, then Hostinger support told me to use Cloudflare to prevent the website from dos attack, generally, I see no hosting provide Cloudflare integration on their dashboard but Hostinger has option to use Cloudflare and I did the same after that my website saves. All thanks to Hostinger team.

I would say iPage is about average. They have WordPress and Weebly for site building along with their own version, but don't offer any others. There is no cPanel which I dislike as I use that quite often with all my other clients. iPage does have a clean user interface and is probably ideal for a small non tech savvy user.

• Affordable web hosting
• Simple UI
• All in one solution as it provides managed WordPress

• Network solutions supports TXT, MX, and CNAME records.
• DNS changes propagate fairly quickly.
• Network Solutions has a web management portal for maintenance of your account.

Incentivized

• They need to fix file manager session, after 15-30 mins session expired automatically and it result in loss of data. This is very critical issue.
• They need to provide notice at least 2 days before when they schedule maintainance

Incentivized

• From experience, they respond when they say they will - they say "24-48" hours but problems take weeks to resolve
• I believe they don't put service reps in the position of lying to your customers - give them access to accurate information
• Give access to senior level support instead of just having text service reps that don't have access to information or ability to actually fix anything.

The backend for managing your domain is very easy to work thru once you learn where everything is and what it is for if you want to do it yourself. The company has toll free phone support 24/7 that can also make changes for you if you are away from your desktop or have an emergency situation where you can't make the change yourself. This is peace of mind knowing that there is help out there should you need it. You don't have to learn the backend if you want to have the Network Solutions customer support team help you. They are secure and won't make changes for anyone who calls, they authenticate you for your protection every time

For the most part I've had excellent interactions with the customer support team I've dealt with at Network Solutions. When I've needed help with something like Wordpress, it hasn't always worked out so well but you can pay their techs for 1 on 1 help with these offerings, you just won't have the support for free. I've often been talked to on upsells for services that I particularly didn't need and found the offers to be annoying when the agents kept pushing me on an upsell instead of addressing my issue. It's hit or miss on that, perhaps it depends on the department you speak with.

There're a ton of web hosts but Hostinger is the cheapest one that offers you amazing features.

Network Solutions is on the higher side if not the top of normal domain registration costs while being at or near the bottom in terms of features and general experience using their management console. If you want to pay more and be spammed with ads every time you log in, be my guest, but there are plenty of better options. There are tons of registrars out there, but this is one of the many that I would not consider using again. Unfortunately, we often still have to deal with them when a client has an existing domain registered through Network Solutions, so we still often have to suffer through their consistently awful transfer process.

Incentivized

• The customer support is helpful and very friendly
• Their payment gateway is really bad
• Great price for the features you get

Incentivized

• Using Network Solutions has had a positive impact on ROI
• Depending on the domain, it can cost as little as $70 for email, web forwarding and domain registration for a year, less if you don't need the forwarding.
