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.

Cons
  • 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

  • Pricing structure has too large of a jump between Basic and Performance plans
  • Have run into issues with prescribed WP updates not working through dashboard and having to do manually.
  • Pantheon site dashboard occasionally is unavailable (the site is never affected though)

The environment is stable and we have not had any issues/downtime. The annual cost is reasonable.

Usability

Monitoring of project development is very easy using a dashboard with its integration capability, showing all processes in a single screen which is easy to use and also easy to navigate through. A powerful tool that allows testing to be carried on without the user noticing any changes to the system and a highly interactive tool for groups and project members.

Even tier 1 Pantheon chat and ticket support are knowledgeable, competent, and useful. They routinely understand and promptly resolve urgent, complex, and/or unusual issues that other hosts need to escalate to tier 2 or tier 3 support personnel. I honestly can't think of a truly negative or disappointing support experience in the years I've used Pantheon hosting for client websites.

Once the environments were up and running, the implementation was easy to synchronize with latest data prior to switchover.

Acquia was terrible. We use DigitalOcean for some all-purpose computing needs and Platform.sh for an application that does more computing and high-throughput processing where we do not want page views (API calls) to count against our usage.

Return on Investment
  • The customer support is helpful and very friendly
  • Their payment gateway is really bad
  • Great price for the features you get
Read full review
  • Pantheon allows ordinary sites to excel esp if there is consistent development going on behind the scenes.
  • Website management is super easy and the hosting fee gets paid off as you save on developer hours.
  • Expensive for those who are not consistently developing on the platform, there are other options out there at better price points.
