## About

Web hosting provider offering shared, VPS, cloud hosting, and domain services

## Activity summary

Restricted in Syria as of July 2026. Browsing, account access, and cart building work from Syria, but community testing shows the checkout and payment step fails from a Syrian IP while the same cart completes via a Turkey IP. Hostinger's legal team had confirmed in February 2026 that all Syria restrictions were removed, so this appears to be a residual restriction at the payment step.

## Official timeline

- 2026-02-25 — Fully Unblocked. Hostinger formally confirmed that all Syria restrictions have been fully removed. The Hostinger Legal Department stated that service availability for Syria has been restored, enabling account registrations, purchases, renewals, domain services, and full platform infrastructure access. Community testing from Syria confirmed the platform works without a VPN.
- 2026-02-25 — Company Responded. Hostinger's Legal Department responded via legal@hostinger.com with a formal confirmation that service availability for Syria has been restored. The response stated that Hostinger conducted an internal legal and compliance review following the 2025 sanctions lift and, as a result, enabled account registrations, purchases, renewals, domain services, and full platform infrastructure access for Syria. Hostinger noted that standard compliance controls remain in place, including screening against OFAC, EU, and other sanctions lists. This is a separate formal confirmation from the Legal Department, in addition to the earlier Customer Success team confirmation.
- 2026-02-11 — Under Company Review. Hostinger compliance team acknowledged our outreach and forwarded the request to their quality team for review. They also provided a direct contact email for the quality team.
- 2026-02-09 — Contacted Company. Outreach email sent to Hostinger at compliance@hostinger.com and legal@hostinger.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Hostinger under the current post-sanctions legal framework.

## Community reports

- 2026-07-14 — Investigated. Community testing shows that Hostinger's website and shopping cart load normally from Syria, but completing a purchase fails from a Syrian IP address. The payment page at cart.hostinger.com returns a generic "Our server encountered an issue" error when reached from Syria, while the identical cart completes checkout normally when accessed through a Turkey IP. Browsing and cart building work, but the checkout and payment step is restricted for users in Syria.

- 2026-02-12 — Verified. Community report: User reports that Hostinger is working without VPN from inside Syria. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/ymg1hlartfmyz7g7rc4st9cl/rusq1l2bwxbcw7xtyzsh7jy7-5794205526110440633.jpg)
- 2026-02-12 — Fully Unblocked. Hostinger's Customer Success Team confirmed that all Syria restrictions have been fully removed. Signups, purchases, renewals, and upgrades are accessible from Syria. No IP restrictions are in place for any Hostinger websites, hPanel, Website Builder, tutorials, or blogs. Syria is available as a residence country and supported for WHOIS registered addresses.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
