Rebuilding a website just became as easy as copy-pasting a link

Most people put off building a new website when they’ve outgrown their old one or spotted a design elsewhere they’d rather start from. The work in between is what stops them: copying over old text, recreating layouts, learning a new editor – or paying someone to do all of it.

Hostinger Horizons now removes that step: users paste a link to a website, and it generates an editable version.

The website cloner reads a single web page at a publicly accessible URL and produces a working version of that page inside an AI project, where every element is open to change through prompts or visual editing: rewriting copy, adjusting layout, adding sections, or translating it into other languages.

The generated page is a starting point rather than a fixed copy. Nothing has to be rebuilt from scratch, and nothing has to stay as it is.

“The hardest part in the AI era is not building the website – it’s explaining what you want,” said Auksė Žirgulė, VP of Product at Hostinger.

“If you already have a site you’ve outgrown, or you’ve found one whose design works for you, you shouldn’t have to describe it. Point at it and start from there.”

What it’s for

A business whose website has aged badly can generate a modern, editable version in minutes and spend its time improving the site rather than reconstructing it.

Anyone using a website builder that has become too expensive or too limiting can switch without rebuilding manually.

Freelancers and small agencies can onboard clients at scale. Importing a client’s current website as a base turns the first week of a project from reconstruction work into actual design work.

Someone who finds a website they like can use it as the starting point for their own – generating a first version, then replacing the content and branding to make it theirs.

What it does not recreate

The feature works from publicly accessible front-end content only. Databases, user accounts, backend systems, and other sensitive data are never copied, so business and customer information stays where it is.

Anything that runs behind the scenes rather than on the page itself has to be set up again afterward. This includes login systems, booking flows, online checkouts, and connections to external tools. These can be added in the same project, though some need accounts or setup from outside the platform to work.

Generated projects are meant to be built on, not published as they arrive. Text, images, logos, and brand identity belong to whoever created them, and anything carried over from a source website needs to be replaced with the user’s own before going live.

Impersonation and phishing break Hostinger’s terms. Hostinger monitors published websites for abuse across all of its products, whether they were built with WordPress, written in code, or generated from a URL.
