Please avoid hostinger at all costs!

I'm not sure if you've got what you were wanting. However, if you used a credit card, or even a debit card with your bank, you should be able to file a dispute and inform them that the service is faulty and you have requested a refund, but their support isn't answering you back. More than likely, you won't receive a prorated refund but you'll receive a full refund.

I doubt I could file a dispute over a year later.
 
I trust @DudeThatsErin.

Where should we put the sign at on Hostinger?

There is a risk associated with buying a hosting service for a longer duration. Therefore, I always renew yearly.
 
Hostinger is using the EIG hosting model.
They stuff a lot of sites on the shared hosting and then performance tanks once your site takes off with traffic.
I feel if you want VPS then kamaterra which is a good service from what I have seen.

Yeah, once this expires, I'm yeeting the heck out of there. I'm only using it now so I don't waste my money.

I'll probably end up going with Digital Ocean, Vultr, or some shared hosting, depending on if I care about my 1 discord bot being online 24/7 come March 2024.

I recently downgraded A LOT of my stuff so now I only have 3 websites (Tech Blogger's Space, -New Business (will remain unnamed until ready to release)-, and DudeThatsErin.com + my personal resume that is online that will remain unnamed as well but I don't count that because it is set it up and leave it alone, rarely ever changing it) and 1 discord bot. So, I could run all of this on Shared/Reseller hosting which I may do in the future.
 
Look up envesko hosting. I've been with them for three years and they are nothing short of awesome! I'm having my plan paid for via the generosity of an online friend, so I don't know what they're rates are.

Not sure how much help this will be, but here's a link for the website https://envesko.com/ I'll dig around and see if I can find hosting plans that are currently being offered. I haven't looked at the main site in 3 years, so I no longer know what's what in the way of pricing or anything. You can always message @SpacewardAsh if you need more information. He used to work for that host and would therefore know a lot more about it than I do.

From what I can see, it looks like they offer shared hosting and cloud hosting and in order to host more than 1 site you have to pay $12.49/mo which is more expensive than A LOT of other shared/reseller plans out there. I could go with KnownHost.com and get an unmanaged VPS for $5 for the first month and $10/mo after that and the only limits I have is on the space & RAM and even then I have 20GB of space and use under 3GB currently and I am only considering leaving early cause my 1GB of RAM isn't cutting it.
My website (TBS) keeps going down according to Uptime Robot daily. You can see from that link when I moved back to my hosting (cause I realized I had it until 3/24) and that's when the red starts on any website. Orange started on 5/2 and you can see it is almost daily.

I think I may have solved the issue... hoping anyway but 1GB RAM is easy to eat through it seems.
 
I had a very similar experience with Bluehost. My forums were down for about four weeks and they simply would not provide any adequate support, basically saying that I had to reprogram them. Moved the forums to another server without changing a single line - they worked. Bluehost then pivoted and said it was because I used a different version of PHP, even though the software I was using (phpBB) was rated for their version of PHP, not the one I migrated to for the test. There was no escalation available. Billing wouldn't release any of the money nor respond to me at all.

I migrated to GreenGeeks, everything came up without any further intervention necessary, and I ended up having to eat the remainder of the money.

That sucks but I wouldn't tolerate a site down for four weeks, if it wasn't fixed in a few days I would have packed up and moved.
