Where to report

Report abuse to Hostinger with the form at hostinger.com/report-abuse or by emailing abuse@hostinger.com; trademark claims go to the same address with "Trademark Claim" in the subject. Each report gets a ticket ID. Deliberate phishing and malware domains are suspended directly; no general turnaround is published.

Abuse report form
www.hostinger.com/report-abuse
Abuse email
abuse@hostinger.com

Include in your report

  • The domain name and a detailed description of the abuse
  • Supporting evidence: screenshots, URLs, and for spam the complete headers and body
  • For trademark claims: the mark, registration number, jurisdiction, and goods or services covered
  • Proof the site owner is a Hostinger customer and the exact location of the infringing mark
  • A signed statement under penalty of perjury for trademark notices, plus your contact details

Hostinger registers the domain; it can suspend or lock a domain but cannot edit the site's content. If the abuse is the content itself, report it to the hosting provider as well.

Hostinger also hosts sites: report hosted content to Hostinger

Hostinger is a fast-growing Lithuanian hosting provider and ICANN-accredited registrar with millions of customers worldwide. It runs a public abuse form and a documented abuse-handling policy, and publishes a separate procedure for trademark and copyright notices by email.

A Hostinger abuse report can suspend or lock the domain. It cannot rewrite the website. If the fake store or phishing page is still live, file a parallel complaint with the hosting provider. For a cloned storefront selling your products, follow how to remove a fake website. If someone registered your business name and the domain is parked or for sale, use the domain dispute playbook instead of an abuse form. Free takedown templates cover the wording.

Why brand-abuse sites show up on Hostinger

Hostinger's low-cost hosting bundled with domains makes it a common home for counterfeit storefronts and phishing pages, especially those targeting Latin America, India, and Europe. Its policy suspends deliberate phishing and malware domains directly, but trademark claims require a formal notice with mark details and a sworn statement, so incomplete brand complaints stall.

What a Hostinger abuse report can cover

  • Counterfeit storefronts on Hostinger-hosted domains
  • Phishing pages impersonating banks and brands
  • Typosquatting domains registered with bundled hosting
  • Scam and fake-support sites
  • Trademark-infringing lookalike domains

How to file a Hostinger abuse report

  1. 1

    Document the abuse

    Capture the URLs, screenshots, and RDAP record. Confirm whether Hostinger is registrar, host, or both, since its policy applies to both layers.

  2. 2

    Submit the Hostinger abuse form

    Use hostinger.com/report-abuse with the domain, a detailed complaint, evidence, and your name and email. Hostinger issues a ticket ID and may ask for more information.

  3. 3

    Send trademark claims as a formal notice

    Email abuse@hostinger.com with "Trademark Claim" in the subject, including the mark, registration number, jurisdiction, the infringing location, and the sworn certification Hostinger's trademark policy requires.

  4. 4

    Use UDRP for contested domain names

    Hostinger publishes a domain-name dispute resolution policy and honors UDRP and URS outcomes. Use arbitration for domains that themselves infringe a mark.

Hostinger Abuse Handling

When a Hostinger abuse report is not enough

Registrar complaints work for phishing, malware, and clear policy violations. They do not transfer a domain to you, and they often bounce trademark-only disputes. For a brand-name domain you want to own, file a UDRP (or URS for a faster suspension) — the domain squatting playbook covers that choice. If Hostinger only registered the name and someone else hosts the site, send a second report through the hosting takedown guides.
