How to create a website with Hostinger?

September 20, 2025

 Creating a website with Hostinger is pretty straightforward, whether you’re using their Website Builder or hosting your own WordPress/PHP site. I’ll walk you through both ways so you can choose what fits your needs:



Option 1: Create a Website with Hostinger Website Builder (No Coding Needed)

This is the easiest method if you don’t want to touch code.

Steps:

  1. Sign up & choose a plan

    • Go to Hostinger and purchase a hosting plan (Premium or Business plans are best for websites).

    • Choose a domain name (either free with hosting or purchase separately).

  2. Access Website Builder

    • Log into hPanel (Hostinger control panel).

    • Go to Website → Website Builder.

  3. Pick a template

    • Choose a pre-designed template (business, portfolio, shop, blog, etc.).

    • You can fully customize colors, fonts, sections, and images.

  4. Customize your website

    • Drag and drop sections (about, contact, services, products).

    • Add forms, buttons, galleries, and integrations.

    • Enable mobile responsiveness.

  5. Connect domain

    • If you bought your domain on Hostinger, it’s auto-connected.

    • If from another provider, update the nameservers to Hostinger.

  6. Publish your site

    • Click Publish, and your website goes live instantly.

👉 Best for beginners, portfolios, small businesses, or online stores.

Option 2: Create a Website with WordPress on Hostinger (More Flexible)

If you want full control, plugins, and customization, WordPress is better.

Steps:

  1. Buy hosting & domain (same as above).

  2. Install WordPress

    • In hPanel, go to Website → Auto Installer → WordPress.

    • Enter site title, admin username, and password.

  3. Login to WordPress Dashboard

    • Visit yourdomain.com/wp-admin.

    • Log in with your admin credentials.

  4. Choose a theme

    • Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New.

    • Install a free theme (like Astra, Neve, OceanWP) or a premium one.

  5. Install plugins (optional but recommended):

    • Elementor (drag-and-drop builder).

    • Yoast SEO (search engine optimization).

    • WooCommerce (if making an online store).

    • WPForms (contact forms).

  6. Customize site

    • Add Pages: Home, About, Services, Contact.

    • Set up Menus under Appearance.

    • Customize with Elementor or Gutenberg editor.

  7. Secure & optimize

    • Enable free SSL from Hostinger.

    • Install LiteSpeed Cache plugin for performance.

  8. Publish website 🎉

    • Your site is now live at yourdomain.com.

👉 Best for blogs, business websites, e-commerce, and professional projects.

✅ Tip: If you’re building a payment page/business site (like we discussed earlier), I recommend WordPress + Elementor because it gives more flexibility for payments, integrations, and styling.
