Last checked: October 12, 2026. Details about Hostinger below come from its website builder page on that date; the link is at the bottom. For a side-by-side table of the two products, see our Hostinger comparison. This page is for people already using the builder, or halfway through a draft, who are wondering whether to hand the work to someone else.
The usual story: the plan was cheap, the AI made a quick first draft, and then the site sat unfinished for months because writing and choosing photos kept losing out to real work.
What Hostinger provides, by its own page
Hostinger now offers a single builder called AI Builder, with a manual drag-and-drop mode and an agentic mode where you describe what you want. Its page lists templates, AI writing and design tools, built-in SEO settings, ecommerce on higher plans, email marketing, and a 30-day money-back period. Plans are sold as long prepaid terms. On the day we checked, the entry plan showed $2.99/mo for a 48-month term, renewing at $10.99/mo, with a custom domain and mailboxes included free for the first year.
Who should not switch
- ✓You enjoy building it — if tinkering with layouts is fun for you, keep going and finish the draft
- ✓You just prepaid a long term — check the refund period before walking away from money already spent
- ✓You run several small sites — a multi-site plan you control can be more practical than one managed site
- ✓You need a full store — Hostinger’s ecommerce plans fit product sellers; we build catalog and order-request pages instead
What moving actually involves
First, find out where your domain is registered and whose name is on it. If Hostinger registered it, it can stay there; we only need it pointed at the new site when you approve the launch. Second, check your email. If your mailboxes run through the same account, write down what they are before anything changes, because pointing a domain incorrectly can interrupt mail. Third, gather what you already made: the text you wrote, your logo and photo files, and any customer reviews you have permission to show.
We do not edit inside the Hostinger builder. We write and build a new site on our managed hosting, using your draft as raw material. Only after you approve it do we point the domain. Your old plan stays yours to cancel or keep on your own schedule.
What changes in who does what
- ✓Writing — you answer questions in a consultation; we write every page and you approve it
- ✓Design and layout — we lay out the pages, then revise across ten rounds
- ✓Hosting, HTTPS and backups — handled under Website Care instead of your builder plan
- ✓Small edits — you send a message and we make the change, up to 30 minutes a month
- ✓Domain and email — still yours, at your registrar and mailbox provider
What it costs on our side
The Launch Website is $399 for up to 5 pages, paid once, and Website Care is $30/month for managed hosting, HTTPS, backups and uptime checks. If your builder draft is mostly finished and your text is ready, an eligible small project can launch in as little as 48 hours.
A quick self check before deciding
Open your draft and count the pages that are truly done, with real words and real photos. If most are done and you only need a push, finishing it yourself may be the cheaper path. If the draft is mostly template text you have not replaced, the missing piece is writing, and that is the part we do.

What to expect, honestly
- ✓We are not Hostinger — read its pages for current plans, renewal rates and refund terms
- ✓We do not work inside the Hostinger builder — we build a new site on our managed hosting
- ✓We do not move mailboxes — your email stays with its provider while we point the website
One example of what your site could look like

Monthly SEO is an optional add-on when you are ready for it.
