There are several ways to start building a website, and at Hostinger, you have different options for that:

Use a Content Management System

If you wish to create your site using a CMS, you can find the most popular ones, such as WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal, within the Auto Installer in hPanel.

Just navigate to Websites → Manage, search for Auto Installer on the left sidebar, and click on it to start the process:

Choose your desired application and start building your website in a few clicks! If you will use WordPress, check this video on how to easily create your website:


Upload a Website

If you have already built a website, you can upload your website files using the Import Website feature in hPanel. Go to Websites → Manage, search for Import website on the left sidebar, and click on it to start the process:

You can use this feature for files up to 256 MB. For larger file sizes, you can always upload them via FTP.

Keep in mind that if your website requires a database, you will need to import it as well by following these steps: How to import a database with phpMyAdmin.

Alternatively, you can create a migration request, and our team will migrate the website for you. To migrate a website, go to the Websites section and click on Create or migrate website:

The Create or migrate a website option on hPanel

Choose the website type from the options, then select Migrate my website:

Choose Transfer Website in the next screen, fill in all the migration details, and we will take care of the rest!
