When you first create a new Hostinger Horizons project, it’s assigned a temporary domain and set up as a private draft until it is published for the first time. Attempting to access an unpublished Hostinger Horizons website may result in 404 or SSL protocol errors.
How to publish your Hostinger Horizons website
To make your website public for the first time, follow these steps:
- Open the Hostinger Horizons 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
You can edit your website at any time after it is live. To apply new changes to the live version, click the Publish button. If a dropdown appears, select Publish changes. Wait a few minutes, and check your website in an incognito or private window to verify the applied changes.
Troubleshooting
If your website is not visible after several hours from publishing, check the following:
- If you’re using a custom domain, ensure the domain is connected and propagation is complete. It can take up to 24 hours. You can use the temporary domain to access your website in the meantime.
- If issues persist, refer to this guide for further guidance: Troubleshooting Hostinger Horizons.
