How to Create a Website

Building a new website using CMS, uploading website files or with the Website Builder

Updated over a week ago

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:

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:

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!
