Publish your Hostinger AI Builder agentic mode website to make it visible to visitors and update it after launch. Your website is set up as a private draft until published for the first time when you create a new project, whether you connect a domain or use a temporary one. Attempting to access an unpublished website may result in 404 or SSL protocol errors.
How to publish your website
To make your website public for the first time, follow these steps:
- Open the Hostinger AI Builder editor.
- Go to hPanel → Websites.
- Locate your website and click Edit website.
- Click the Publish button in the top-right corner.
- The Publish button is disabled while the website is being created. In that case, wait for the loading process to complete before publishing.
Update your website
When you click Publish, the editor displays a loading percentage indicator showing the progress of the publish process. You can see this in both the top-right button and the publish dropdown.
Once publishing completes:
- A completion sound plays to confirm the site is live.
- The publish dropdown shows two quick actions:
- Copy URL — copies the live site address to your clipboard.
- Go to Analytics — opens the built-in Analytics section directly.
Troubleshooting
If your website remains unreachable several hours after you publish it, check the following factors to identify the cause:
- Temporary domain: If you are using a temporary domain, clear your browser cache or open the site in an incognito window to access the latest version.
- Custom domain: Verify that your custom domain or subdomain is connected. The website should appear in your Websites list under the custom domain name rather than a temporary one.
- Domain pointing: Ensure your domain or subdomain is correctly pointing to your Hostinger AI Builder website.
- DNS propagation: If you recently updated your DNS records, wait for propagation to complete. This process can take up to 24 hours globally.
- Local caching. Clear your browser cache or test the website on a different device and connection, such as a phone using mobile data instead of a computer on Wi-Fi.
