403 Forbidden Error in Hostinger Hosted Environments

Hello friends,

Today I am writing about the 403 Forbidden error in Hostinger hosted environments for Laravel with PHP sites.

A few days ago, I encountered an error while submitting a POST request for any content that contained HTML or special characters as a blog post. I received a 403 Forbidden error. However, if I tried serving plain text, it was saved successfully.

There are basic solutions provided by hostinger in the Hostinger support link, and I tried almost everything suggested, researched on the internet, but nothing worked. So, I connected with Hostinger support. They investigated my website and found that they had introduced an option known as CDN (Content Delivery Network) for websites.

They asked me to disable the CDN for my website and try again. After disabling the CDN, my website started working smoothly, and it supported HTML and special characters in the POST requests too.

That's my finding, and I wanted to let you all know that if you've tried everything else, you can try this solution as well. It might save your day!

Thanks, everyone, for reading my blog. Please leave a comment if you found this helpful or if you have any suggestions. Your feedback is always welcome!

Thank you!
