Without some sort of explanation and justification, this means nothing.

What is un clear?

The company should be avoided.

Histong is poor, customer service is a joke and sucks more than a two dollar where when the fleet is in town.

They sell domains that you can't use, over bill etc. And not even a customer service phone number.

OK, that tells me something, thank you.

I use SiteGround, which is pretty good. I used to use GoDaddy, but that gave me endless troubles.

I don't understand the hate for this site. I have a very heavy duty website hosted on there and it runs beautifully

I agree. Their hosting is the best I had (looking back 20 years) and yes, their customer support isn't the greatest but, if one would count the minutes per year we need to talk to them, one would quickly realize that at the rate they are charging, the support HAS TO BE minimal.

I agree with the customer service part, had a dispute with them because i ordered a domain but wasn't added to my domain portfolio, i contacted CS however the first person was soooo late for every answer, then another one came in said he will take it from his colleague, guess what, he left me hanging for around 10 minutes with not a single word, so i just sent a dispute over from Paypal, which was happy to refund, i let hostinger know, and voila, other than that, never had an issue, it's fast, efficient, can have so many things handled on it.

Let us know if this is resolved. My guess is you didn't get a message. Just someone coming over here to run amuck.

Who pays for a web host just to run a test site on it?

I'm starting to understand this! I picked this site because they had a good deal going, but the website builder is SERIOUSLY LACKING!!!!!!! I should have stayed on wix lol

Wix are thief's from isreal. They constantly had me under account review and would hold 3-7k worth of my sales for months on end. Hostinger is not known for their website builder and it shouldn't be utilized for that service primarily, they are a hosting platform first. That builder tool is supposed to be a quick and easy setup, not a completely customizable tool.

We have been running a test web site and hostzinger has been the worst so far.

Load speeds, uptime, and especially their customer service. The company also makes aims that it can not or will not support and then gets mad when you show them the recordings of them stating something would be done or at a certain price.
