3.1 – Create Your Hostinger Site with AI Lesson

Lesson Overview

This lesson shows how to build a clean starting website using Hostinger’s AI tools. Hostinger is an all-in-one platform with hosting, storage for images and video, and a website builder that uses AI to turn a short description into a live draft. Unlike platforms that charge per website, certain Hostinger plans let you run many sites under one plan, which is useful if you manage several projects or plan to build more in the future.

You will see the practical differences among Hostinger’s builder options. The standard AI website builder is a drag-and-drop tool that creates a multi-page draft in seconds from a short prompt. For selling products, you would use the e-commerce builder. Hostinger also offers Horizons, a prompt-to-site tool that can generate a site straight from text. If you come from WordPress, there is a WordPress path too. If you already host elsewhere, you can migrate a site into Hostinger.

Why this matters: AI helps you move from idea to working draft in minutes. That first version will not be perfect, but it gives you real pages, placeholder media, and structure you can quickly refine. The video sets up the site and explains how to prepare your prompt so the builder generates pages you actually need, which saves time when you move to edits and mobile checks in the next lesson.

Who This Is For

If you want a fast first build that you can refine, this lesson is for you. It suits:

• Small business owners who need a reliable site quickly
• Freelancers and agencies who want to host multiple client sites under one plan
• Creators or educators who need a portfolio or services site
• Early e-commerce planners deciding whether to use the dedicated store builder
• Anyone with an existing site on another host who wants an easier migration path

Where This Fits in a Workflow

This lesson sits at the build stage of your website workflow. You have a basic brand concept and an AI prompt from your planning work. Now you will use Hostinger’s builder to turn that prompt into a real website draft. After this, you will refine the copy, swap images and videos, confirm the color palette, and check mobile layouts before publishing.

Examples:

• A designer uses the AI builder to generate Home, Work, About, and Contact pages from a succinct brand description. The next session focuses on cleaning up visuals and case studies.
• A local services business generates a starter Services page and a Contact page with the essentials. In the following step, they replace placeholder media and tune the layout for phone users.

Technical & Workflow Benefits

The older way to start a site was to pick a blank theme, hand-build sections, and write every line of copy before you could preview a full flow. That meant hours of setup before you saw a complete picture. With Hostinger’s AI builder, a short prompt creates a usable multi-page draft in about ten seconds. You get the structure you need right away, which makes your edit time far more focused.

Cost and scale also matter. Some platforms charge per site each month. Hostinger’s Business-level builder plan can host many sites under one subscription, which is helpful for freelancers, agencies, or anyone running multiple properties. You can choose longer billing terms for lower monthly cost, or pay month to month at around 14 dollars, depending on your needs.

Specific wins:

• Faster first draft: Go from idea to pages you can edit immediately.
• Cleaner prompts: Working within a 700-character limit forces clarity, which improves the result.
• Easier growth: Add new sites without juggling multiple subscriptions.
• Simple migration: If you started on another host, moving into Hostinger is supported and straightforward.

Practice Exercise

Use your prompt work from the earlier planning step to generate a strong first draft.

1. Prepare your inputs:

• Pick a brand name, even a placeholder. Keep it consistent.
• Create a concise brand description of 500–600 characters that covers who you are, what you offer, your audience, and the pages you want (for example, Home, Work, About, Services, Contact).
• Note a simple color direction if you have one.

2. Build the draft:

• In your Hostinger account, start a new website and choose the AI website builder.
• Enter the brand name and paste your trimmed description.

3. Review the output:

• Check that all requested pages exist and skim the layout on each.
• Write down three changes you will make in the next step, such as swapping images, replacing placeholder text with your best copy, and adjusting sections on mobile.

Reflection: Did your short description produce the pages and sections you expected? If not, rewrite the description in fewer words with clearer intent and generate a second draft to compare.

Course Context Recap

This lesson takes you from planning to building. Earlier in the course, you shaped your brand concept and created a clear AI prompt using Gemini. Here you used that prompt to generate a working site draft on Hostinger. Next, you will edit the AI output, replace placeholder media and text, check the mobile view, and prepare to publish. After that, the course moves into building additional multi-page sites and an e-commerce example. Continue to the next lesson when you are ready to refine and launch.
