Hostinger weekly product updates: Week 10, 2026

Here’s what shipped the week of March 2 to 6, 2026, across Hostinger Payments, Hostinger Website Builder (now AI Builder), WordPress, Node.js hosting, Hostinger Mail, Domains, and Kodee (now Hostinger Agent):

  • International customers can now pay for .IN domains by card through ProcessOut, while customers in India continue to use Razorpay.
  • Hostinger Website Builder stores can send transactional emails from their own domain.
  • Appointment-based stores can now cancel, reschedule, and add buffer time to bookings.
  • Hostinger Website Builder added a WhatsApp contact button and a standalone Product Card element for stores.
  • AI Website Builder for WordPress 2.0 gives more control over generated sites, including branding, colors, and mobile previews.
  • Node.js applications now have runtime logs.
  • Hostinger Mail’s spam filter now learns from each user’s preferences.
  • DNS Snapshot restores now preview the changes first.
  • Nexos.ai added 50 and 100 credit packages, and Kodee can now jump to more than 20 destinations in hPanel.

Here’s a closer look at each.

International card payments for .IN domains

International customers can now pay for .IN domains using cards through ProcessOut. This addresses a payment provider limitation that was causing failed international card transactions.

Routing those payments through ProcessOut should improve payment success for customers outside India. Customers in India won’t see any change, since their card payments still use Razorpay.

Branded store emails in Hostinger Website Builder

Store owners can now send transactional emails from an address on their own domain. The setup flow automatically configures the required SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, so order confirmations and shipping updates come from a branded address instead of a generic sender.

Here’s how to send emails from your online store.

More appointment control in Hostinger Website Builder

Appointment-based businesses get more flexibility. Store owners can now cancel or reschedule bookings, and customers can do the same through links in their confirmation emails; if a paid appointment needs refunding, the store owner still processes that manually.

There’s also a new appointment buffer time, so you can add time before or after an appointment for prep, cleanup, or travel without changing the duration customers see.

Here’s a detailed walkthrough on how to accept appointments.

A WhatsApp contact button in Hostinger Website Builder

On product pages, you can now place a WhatsApp contact button next to Add to Bag. Clicking it opens WhatsApp with a prefilled message containing the product name, selected variant, and product link, giving customers a quick way to ask questions before buying.

A standalone Product Card element in Hostinger Website Builder

Hostinger Website Builder added a standalone Product Card element. You can place an individual product or appointment card anywhere on a page and choose which details to show, including the image, text, price, and Add to Cart button.

AI Website Builder for WordPress gets more control in version 2.0

AI Website Builder for WordPress 2.0 is now available on Business and Cloud plans, with a redesigned generation flow that gives you more control over the site you’re creating.

Instead of generating a site from a short prompt, the new conversational flow gathers more about what you want to build: you can provide your brand name and logo, choose a color palette, and preview how the site looks on mobile.

It also adds new templates and visual improvements, so it’s easier to shape the site before you start.

Here’s how to use the AI Website Builder for WordPress.

Runtime logs for Node.js

Node.js applications now have runtime logs, which make it easier to troubleshoot errors that happen while an application is running, not just during deployment.

They can surface server-side issues in apps built with frameworks like Next.js, Nuxt, and Express. If your site was deployed before this release, you’ll need to redeploy it before runtime logs start appearing.

Smarter spam filtering in Hostinger Mail

Hostinger Mail’s spam filter can now learn from each user’s individual email preferences over time. The goal is more personalized spam detection, better at catching unwanted messages while reducing the chance that legitimate emails get marked as spam.

Here’s what happens to emails in the spam folder.

DNS Snapshot preview for Domains

DNS Snapshot restore also got a safety improvement. Before you confirm a restore, you can now compare your current DNS records with the selected snapshot and see exactly which records will be added, removed, or changed, so you can review the impact before applying it.

Kodee can now jump to 20+ hPanel destinations

Kodee learned a new shortcut: it can now take you directly to more than 20 destinations in hPanel, including DNS settings, File Manager, SSL, VPS overview, and Email.

Instead of explaining where to find a particular setting, Kodee can give you a one-click route to the right hPanel page.
