How to Add a Website

Learn how to add more websites to your hosting plan

Updated over a week ago

If you have a Web Premium, a Web Business, or a Cloud hosting plan, you can host multiple websites within the same hosting plan.

Step 1 — Preparations

Ensure that you own the domain that you want to add. You have a few options:

  • Register a new domain name as part of the process described below, either by purchasing it or, if your hosting plan is eligible, by selecting a free domain.

  • Use a domain you have already registered elsewhere — make sure to connect it to Hostinger

  • Use a temporary subdomain provided by Hostinger. You can register a custom domain later and connect it with your website.

For sites created with Hostinger Website Builder, you'll always get assigned a free temporary domain, and you can later connect a custom domain whenever you're ready.

Step 2 — Add the Website

Navigate to the Websites section of your hPanel and click on Add website:

Select the desired option from the dropdown list and follow the onboarding process:

  • WordPress — start right away with one of the most popular CMS.

  • Hostinger Website Builder — a user-friendly and efficient AI-powered option.

  • Migrate website — bring your website hosted on a different provider to Hostinger.

  • See all options — get a personalized experience that integrates all the previous options.
