From Zero to Live Website in Under 10 Minutes
No coding, no server config, no waiting around. Here’s the exact, timed path from creating a Hostinger account to a live, working website — step by step.
Sign Up & Pick a Plan
Create your Hostinger account and choose a hosting plan — Cloud if you’re planning multiple sites or expect real traffic, shared if you’re just getting started. You don’t need to overthink this; every plan can be upgraded later without losing your site.
Start with the plan that matches your goals.
Choose Your Plan →Start Setup & Choose Your Domain
Click Setup in hPanel and pick how you want to handle your domain: claim the free domain included with your plan, use one you already own, or skip it for now with a temporary domain and connect your real one later. No wrong answers here — you can always change it.
Free domain included with most annual plans.
Claim Your Domain →Pick WordPress or the AI Website Builder
This is the one real decision in the whole process. WordPress gives you full flexibility and thousands of plugins — better if you want long-term control. The AI Website Builder asks a few questions about your site, then generates a working design and copy for you in minutes — better if speed is the whole point.
Either path installs in one click from hPanel.
Get Started →Let AI Build Your Site’s Design & Content
Answer a few quick questions about your business or project — industry, tone, goals — and the AI tools generate a layout, color palette, and starter copy you can edit line by line. It’s not your final site yet, but it’s a real, usable starting point instead of a blank page.
Skip the blank-page problem entirely.
Try the AI Builder →Check Your Free SSL & Basic Settings
Hostinger installs a free SSL certificate automatically the moment your domain connects, so your site loads securely over HTTPS without any manual setup. Take a minute here to double-check your site title, favicon, and homepage before moving on.
- SSL certificate active
- Auto-renews for free
- HTTPS enforced site-wide
Security that’s already switched on by default.

Hit publish. Your site is now live at your domain, backed by a 99.9% uptime guarantee and a 30-day money-back window if it’s not the right fit. From here, everything — content, design, plugins — can keep evolving without touching a single server setting.
Your 10 minutes start the moment you sign up.
