  1. On the Websites page, find the site in question, click on the ellipsis ⋯ button, and select Duplicate website:

  2. In the pop-up, choose the preferred hosting plan from the dropdown, and click on Select plan:

    Duplicating a builder-based website at Hostinger
  2. In the pop-up, choose the preferred hosting plan from the dropdown, and click on Select plan:
