If you are using web Single hosting, you need to upgrade<\/a> your plan to host more websites.<\/p> For VPS hosting<\/strong>, website creation depends on your control panel or operating system template. Follow the documentation specific to your VPS setup.<\/p> Adding a website consists of two main steps:<\/p> Open hPanel<\/strong> and go to Websites<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Locate the hosting plan where you want to add the website<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Choose one of the following options:<\/p>\n Next, select the website type.<\/p> Hostinger Horizons <\/strong>– A prompt-based AI application builder. If you do not have a Horizons plan<\/a>, you can start with a free trial<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n WordPress <\/strong>– Create a website using WordPress with AI-powered design and content tools.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Hostinger Website Builder <\/strong>– An AI-powered visual drag-and-drop website builder<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Custom PHP\/HTML website<\/strong> – Use this option to upload custom code or install applications<\/a> such as Joomla or PrestaShop.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Follow the onboarding steps shown in hPanel. These vary depending on the website type you select.<\/p> If you are prompted to choose a domain, you can enter:<\/p> A domain name you already own, for example If the domain belongs to a different Hostinger account, ownership verification<\/a> is required.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n A subdomain of a domain you own, for example A new domain name available for registration<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul> You can also continue with a temporary domain<\/strong> and connect a custom domain later. By default, new Hostinger Horizons and Website Builder websites are created on a temporary domain, without prompting for a custom domain during setup.<\/p> After completing this first step, the website is added to hPanel. It appears on the Home page under the Business<\/strong> section, and on the Websites<\/strong> page, where you can manage its settings and continue editing.<\/p> The indicator shown next to the website name reflects the website type.<\/p> This step covers two related actions:<\/p> Depending on how the website was created, one or both actions may be required.<\/p> Websites created on a temporary domain are available shortly after creation.<\/p> If you want to use a custom domain or subdomain instead, you need to assign it to the website by following the guide that matches your website type:<\/p> Horizons<\/strong>: connect a domain<\/a> or subdomain<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Hostinger Website Builder<\/strong>: connect a domain<\/a> or subdomain<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n WordPress or custom PHP\/HTML<\/strong>: connect a domain or subdomain<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n This step links the domain to the website. Additional DNS changes to point the domain may still be required.<\/p> Websites using a custom domain or subdomain<\/strong> must point to Hostinger before they become accessible online.<\/p> If the domain already points to Hostinger nameservers<\/strong>, no further action is required and the website becomes available shortly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n If the domain uses external nameservers<\/strong> (for example, Cloudflare), DNS records must be updated at the provider managing the domain.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul> Follow the domain-pointing guide that matches your website type:<\/p>\n
